Japanese robotics lover Dr. Guero (of robot-riding-a-bicycle infamy) is back at it, this time with a two-legged balancing robot that can walk a tightrope. It's creepy how human-like it balances itself by waving its little stick thingies around. "Those are its arms." YES -- i... / Continue →

You ever been hit by a car before? It's a day-ruiner, right up there with pouring cereal before realizing you're out of milk. It's hard to bounce back after that. And now Volvo is manufacturing V40's with a pedestrian airbag that deploys across the windshield in the event YO... / Continue →

This is a conceptual iPhone design by Bryan Brunsell with the camera moved to the top so while you're texting and walking you can see whatever you're about to walk into. My guess is a sex shop because you're a pervert! Plus when you're texting and driving you'll be able to se... / Continue →
