Yeah this is OH SO real. The New York Times reports that a bunch of robotics students at Carnegie Mellon (where they have a 5 year robotics degree… yes I took the tour) have made a robot that delivers snacks. The soon to be killing machine (singularity folks…) pictured above is some crazy japanese bot that’s making a savory pancake. Snackbot is mobile. It’ll grab you some bullshit snacks, and deliver them to your office. Check the video below. Can’t wait til they start poisoning our food.
Oh also
I kind of dig this song. If you took out the four to the floor kick drum (played by a mummy on a suitcase… oh wait that’s Jonsi… ugh) this would sound like an Enya track. In true Jonsi fashion, there are about 4 billion vocal tracks doing oohs, ahhs, blips, and long cannoning phrases that are probably reversed and played through a glacier. Oh also, I think he thinks he’s a bird now.
Is it useful? I don’t know yet… Cool as fuck? I’M ALREADY DROOLING. TED 2010 was probably totally aweshum. We need to go next year, but I doubt they’d give us press passes.
I’ve always liked this band. I even liked it when lead singer Anthony Green was in Saosin (this is when Saosin didn’t completely suck). His solo record however, is atrocious.
