If all goes as planned, the humanoid robot HRP-2 — currently under development by a Japanese national technology institute — could be a little domestic helper.

The robots — named Promet — are being developed by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and can run errands. They are designed to respond to verbal instructions and are capable of capturing three-dimensional images of objects and locating them through an infrared sensor.

We are hoping to make them something comparable to service dogs," Isao Hara, senior researcher at the institute in Japan's technology hub of Tsukuba, just northeast of Tokyo, said of the pair of robots painted in silver and blue. "I think it's quite possible for them to interact with humans. We are now studying how robots can join the human society."

Samsung SCH B500

The SCH B500 is a new 7.7 megapixel camera phone with optical zoom from Samsung, set for release in Korea via SK Telecom.

The slider handset which goes by the name of SCH B500 is quite thick to accomodate the camera lens - 18.5 mm to be precise. The SCH B500 does not simply bank on the credit of having a 7.7 megapixel camera either; its a DMB phone so it can recieve and allow the user to view satellite TV as well. Since the phone can take such high resolution pictures, the user is bound to run out of storage space sooner or later, a problem easily solved by getting T-flash (trans flash) memory cards which the phone supports. The pictures can then be later seen on a TV screen thanks to the TV out function of the SCH B500.

Apple Computer is under fire by underground folk, following the unveiling of their new advertisement for the Intel IMac.

Apple's new advertisement is almost identical to The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" video says their label, Sub Pop.

Images from tech site Engadget show the huge similarities

After the drama surrounding , similarities between a recent Eminem advertisement & a Lugz commercial from years ago ... one would think the creative department at Apple would try to innovative as oppose to cloning.

Note from The Postal Service

It has recently come to our attention that Apple Computers' new television commercial for the Intel chip features a shot-for-shot recreation of our video for 'Such Great Heights' made by the same filmmakers responsible for the original. We did not approve this commercialization and are extremely disappointed with both parties that this was executed without our consultation or consent. -Ben Gibbard, The Postal Service

Years ago, when I made weekly trips from Washington, DC, to New York ... during my you should be a model years, Web TV was a life saver for those late nights after hours of Nos. I would cozy up under the cheap & tattered hotel rags for some online surfing. (my attempt at writing with adjectives)

Anything But iPod has an in-depth review of iPod's newest competitor - the Creative Zen Vision: M.

Pros

The Zen Vision:M is an impressive personal media player. It is well deserving of the Best of Show and Best Portable Audio & Video device awards it recently won at 2006 CES. The greatest appeal of the Vision:M is its ability to playback the majority of popular video files (especially DivX and XviD), which saves you a lot of time by not having to convert all of your video. Audio and video is top notch on the player as well as on the TV. The battery allows you to get in a full movie or two while on the go. Even though the user interface can be a bit slow at times it is still extremely easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a hard drive based digital audio player. The Zen Vision:M is everything the video iPod is and then some.

Cons

I have one major problem with the Zen Vision:M. It is not the proprietary dock connection, nor is it the non-removable battery.
