Gavin sez, "On Monday, we re-launched what used to be known as The
Screen Savers (where we've had Xeni, Cory & Mark on as guests) as
Attack of the Show! and to celebrate we created a working eight-foot
Nintendo controller. The link goes to Monday's show page which has a
video clip of the controller in use. The verdict is still out whether
or not it's a world's record but we've got the call into the Guinness
people as I type."

Watch for a full report later today on what I hope will spur the
industry into fixing a massive security hole in WPA related to

Toyota i-foot and i-unit Robot Vehicles
12/19/2004 03:41 PMMove over Segway, Toyota has revealed two
robotic exoskeleton-like vehicles designed for transporting humans.
Toyota prefers to call them "wearable personal mobility vehicles". The

a two-legged walker with an egg-shaped cockpit for a seated human
rider.
The i-unit
is a 4-wheeled vehicle with a single seat that is upright for slow
travel and reclines for high-speed travel. Toyota will be
demonstrating
these new modes of transportation in their booth at the upcoming EXPO
2005 World Exposition,
where they'll be introduced by Toyota's music playing
robots. More photos are available from
Reuters and in a Gizmodo

Their will be a lot of robots actually
working at the EXPO, doing garbage collection, cleaning, security,
and acting as guides.
