There’s really no way to stop the evolution of technology. The more we desire access to things at the touch of a button, or hell, through our eyeballs, the more a means to supply what we demand will materialize. With Google Glass that day has arrived. Yet, as many are finding out, the world around the Google Glass wearer isn’t so open or appreciative of having its midst invaded by a walking cyborg-person wearing a face-computer gawping at the world and everyone in it as if monkeys in a zoo cage. In short: “Hey! You! Your robo-face is making me feel uncomfortable, jerk!” Continue reading

I mean, that’s what they are selling, right? A Real Doll that will apparently give you a hand, if you know what I mean. There’s just no way that’s an actual human on the cover. What say you? Continue reading
Sadly, I have not received any messages as prolific and terrifying as the one featured in this post, but I have received two that show great promise in the field of competitive psychosis and all-around scuzziness.
Your mission, dear readers, is to help me determine who should win the prize for dirt ball of the week– and, if I’m feeling particularly masochistic, I will message the winner and report back with my findings.
First up, we have harmlessbadboy; his message was brief, and left me wanting more. Continue reading
This is America, 2011. We have our first mixed-race president. There are actual commercials now which feature interracial couples. But people are still really stupid when it comes to race relations, particularly the kind of relations where you are trying to get into someone else’s pants.
Since I live in an extremely diverse neighborhood, in an extremely diverse city, and am pretty ambiguously ethnic, as well as being totally hot (and modest!), I’ve had my fair share of amazingly creepy, and sometimes just slightly racist pick-up lines thrown at me. I’m sure some of the more attractive of you have experienced the same. So let’s break a few of the more common lines down and analyze them. Continue reading
Check this little guy out! A group of scientists at Osaka University designed him to make realilistic human expressions in an attempt to study human social development between parents and children. There’s some scientist who is totally marking off a graph being really pissed off that he can’t find a suitable control model for his experiments because some babies are happier than others, and dreaming up this little abomination. They tried using robots in the past, but the robots didn’t work “in a natural way” and therefore the parents didn’t interact properly with them. Video of them in action:
I don’t know about you, but look at those eyes. I’d totally name him “Shifty.” He needs some servos adjusted, stat!
Here he is, without the “realilistic” skin! :
Look! The full range of emotions!:
I hope they never show this infographic to “parents” in the study:
Totally creepy, but I think it could be viable. For all of those people out there who are stuck in their phones updating facebook and think that social interaction in over 140 characters is taxing- there’s a companion for you! The maternal/paternal instinct in humans is huge! Make this thing Wi-fi, be able to download a playlist from iTunes and have a wireless charging platform (it already looks like it’s an Apple product) and make a billion dollars! Isn’t a new “Chucky” movie in production?
