Check out this video of a robot playing Volleyball, well sort of. While the robot doesn’t exactly have the talent to play along with Tom Cruise in Top Gun, or even with Screech in those summer beach house episodes of Saved By The Bell, it uses an iSight camera and a Mac mini to get […]

Gizmodo spent some time today with the Zune HD and here’s what they had to say: The device is tighter and more physically beautiful than the iPod Touch and it’s got a better UI, the main menu’s scrolling so natural through the swipe gestures.

Enjoy!

Is it just me, or are these commercials getting a bit repetitive. “Meet abc, they want a computer for less than x amount. We told them, ‘you find it, we buy it.‘” Then cut to them looking at a Mac before making a dismissive comment about the price. Rinse and repeat. This commercial might be […]
