Without a doubt, this is the most aesthetically pleasing computer I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a beautiful looking piece of technology. The typewriter style raised keys, the melding of the ’50s aesthetic with modern form factor.. seriously.. breathtaking.
Unfortunately, it’s just a concept at this point, but I would definitely pay extra to get a computer that looks like this. Check out the designer’s website for more.

Is it just me, or is the new Apple Tablet (the iPad) kind of ugly?. Or if not ugly, at least kind of boring…

Robonaut 2
Robonaut sounds like its a robot from space, when it’s actually a robot for space. NASA and GM have teamed up to make the most frightening thing imaginable. Sure, on NASA and GM think its a good idea. GM needs the government money because they make cars nobody wants, and NASA knows how expensive it is to train a human to do things in space. The problem comes when the robot no longer want’s to listen to us.
“This cutting-edge robotics technology holds great promise, not only for NASA, but also for the nation,” said Doug Cooke, associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “I’m very excited about the new opportunities for human and robotic exploration these versatile robots provide across a wide range of applications.”
A “wide range of applications.” Like, hunting down mankind, enslaving mankind, exterminating mankind. Things like that?
GM says it’s going to use Robonaut in its plants to help make safer cars.What does a robot know about human safety? Also I wouldn’t give it access to machinery. It’s just going to start building friends. And Robonaut may say it needs more robots to make safer cars but it’s actually building an army. An army that can build things and doesn’t need to sleep. Great job.

Cylon much? No robot for me, thanks.

Wave Goodbye?
So after everyone (myself included) was freaking out a couple months ago about Google Wave, and how basically the whole world wanted invites to the so-called “limited” preview (which basically everyone I knew was later invited to), nobody I know actually uses it.It seemed cool at first, and I guess it still seems cool, but for the average consumer (as opposed to corporate-types) how is it so much more useful than Facebook, Gmail or MSN as to warrant switching to it.
Do you use Google Wave? If so, what for?

Control a floating ball with your mind!
This crazy game uses your brain waves to control the height and speed of this ball as it moves through the obstacle course.
I want.

Go green while upgrading your lousy pack-in earphones with ThinkSound Rain & Thunder Headphones ($75-$100). Both pairs of headphones feature wooden bodies sourced from renewable sources, and come in recycled, bleach-free packaging with a cotton carrying pouch that’s sewn from renewable sources. Oh, and they sound good too, thanks to the Rain’s 9mm drivers that offer exceptional clarity, or the aptly-named Thunder’s 10mm drivers tuned to provide thumping bass.
