This is Matt Denton's two-ton Mantis, a hexapod robot walking machine that can climb on things and all around terrify anybody in its path. Hell, I'm not even in its path and I need a diaper change. Mantis runs off a 2.2-litre, 50 horsepower turbo diesel engine, and it stands ... / Continue →

KILLLLLL IT. Because all robots should be invincible so we don't stand a chance when they finally begin their assault on humanity, DARPA has teamed up with a group of universities (all of which should expect some hate-mail over the weekend) to create this 'attack-proof' roboti... / Continue →

Wow, of course you took her to a playground YOU PERVY WEIRDO. This is a video of a guy demonstrating his virtual reality girlfriend. She was created using a hacked Kinect, some video glasses, and a heaping scoop of sad, pervertedness. Her actual avatar is Hatsune Miku, a Jap... / Continue →

This is a robotic spider developed by the Fraunhofer Institute *adds to shit list* and designed to locate gas leaks *brap!* or provide recon in radiated areas unsafe for humans. Unsafe for humans?! There's nothing too unsafe for a human if you're paying enough. One time I s... / Continue →

The day stiletto heel implants become reality is the day I'm slingshoting myself into the sun. And, knowing my luck, missing and winding up orbiting the solar system for all eternity. Remind me to pack cyanide capsules. Also: some really bright LEDs (I want children to be ab... / Continue →

This is an art piece (and I use the term "art" as loose as the lips that sink ships) entitled '5 Million Dollars 1 Terabyte' that consists of, you guessed it! -- $5 million worth of illegally downloaded files on a 1-terrabyte hard drive. Wow, if art isn't dead now, it at least... / Continue →
