Titan the Robot dances, sings, scares the bejeezus out of us (video) {Engadget}
Oct 22nd 2009 12:31PM One would hope that your comment was not necessary and that no one was taken in by the "robot" and how fluidly it happened to move.
It's an impressive costume though, I'll grant them that; the way they've disguised the arms and legs (the giveaway shot was in the third vid at 1:25 as it turned round and you could see the black trunking where the [human] arm goes across to control the robot hands).
JVC Picsio GC-FM1 video camera flips out for its debut {Engadget}
Sep 25th 2009 2:25PM I didn't notice it before until you'd pointed out but it looks like Donald found the best frame to grab from the video (about 0:14 in) where their animators were a little care-free with their object clipping!
Hurry! Universal Invention of the Future just $10.50 on eBay {Engadget}
Sep 25th 2009 8:46AM The awful noise I'd surmise as being audio feedback given his "invention" (it's unclear as to what the inventive step is) simply gets a phone to make a video call to a predefined (fixed) number via the solenoid press.
The feedback is because the 'receive' phone (the one pressed too close to the camera to focus) is within sufficient proximity to the 'transmit' phone (the one wired to the box) that the audio of one can be picked up by the other.
He's basically invented a box to press a button to make a video call.
iPhone nips at Rebel XTi's heels for most popular cam on Flickr {Engadget}
Aug 18th 2009 7:41AM "this speaks volumes about the modern cameraphone's value as a serious photographic tool"
Yes, it does in that it still isn't a serious tool, I mean, have you seen the crap that people upload with camera phones (not just iphones, but as they are the largest group they deserve the largest proportion of the blame).
Sure, there are some nice shots but it's mainly convenient detritus when compared to a camera that is over 3 years old (July '06 for the XTi).
AESIR's UFO-like UAV spotted above Wales, is ideal for your next Metal Gear Solid cosplay {Engadget}
Jul 29th 2009 9:57AM Wales?
Er, bit of a long way off I'm afraid. They're based in Peterborough (that's on the opposite side of the country to Wales). The only hint at Wales is that they went to a *conference* in Wales (not a demo or anything though).

Jul 2nd 2009 10:01AM If I wore some special glasses, would your double comment appear away from the screen in magical 3D?
Or is it that awesome you needed to say it twice in case someone misunderstood the first comment?

Apr 22nd 2009 11:49AM Thank goodness someone else spotted it. At least it'll not just be me fuming for the sake of swapping a pair of power wires over to the motor!
