Boston Dynamics | Spots got an arm!
mysdrialWhat they don't tell you is that, now that Spot has an arm, they did all the camera work too...after eliminating the unnecessary and wasteful human component of Boston Dynamics.
World's First Lightsaber! - Guinness World Records
mysdrialReally more of a proto-saber, but it's a start:

A Computer Vision System's Walk Through Times Square
mysdrialI'm especially amused when it highlights the handbags/backpacks....I just assume this is the prototype for Bender's stealing algorithm...
Planned Parenthood EXPOSED! Caught On Hidden Camera Selling
mysdrialhttp://m.snopes.com/pp-baby-parts-sale/
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/07/14/planned-parenthood-isnt-selling-baby-parts-unpacking-the-lies-in-a-new-undercover-video/
The hype machine is fascinating sometimes, though. And rather scary.
The Terrifying Truth of Childhood Technology Addiction
mysdrialGood thing they're not reading comics, or listening to that heavy metal....
Same old scaremongering it always is. But I suppose that's marketing.
Dark Dungeons - Full Trailer
mysdrialIt's not a parody, it's a true-to-the-original-material telling. It just happens that the original material (a Chick Tract, I believe) is deep into Poe's law territory.
NOMAD Micro Home
mysdrialMaybe I missed it, but I didn't see a shower or indoor toilet.
First Person Sonic the Hedgehog!
mysdrialI understand why they did it this way, but to truly be first person perspective, the view needs to spin 360 degrees top to bottom when Sonic goes into the ball.
Digital Carjackers Show Off New Attacks
mysdrialI'm not going to claim this stuff isn't worrying...but it currently requires physical access to the inside of the vehicle...none of those signals are wireless and accessible without popping in and messing with the wires, I believe. The scary thing will be if they do make the control systems externally accessible...
Daft Punk - Lose Yourself To Dance (mashup with Soul Train)
mysdrialApparently it's "Sweat, sweat, sweat."
Is Pharrell really singing "Slut, slut, slut, lose yourself to Dance"?
Sudo Make Me A Sandwich: Robot Edition
mysdrialDid you know that they originally wanted SCSI to be pronounced "Sexy". And yet everyone pronounces it "Scuzzy".
You can't always get what you want.
Maybe they should write a program to teach them how to properly pronounce sudo. The name comes from a combination of the "su" command and the word "do." The su command is short for super user (also some call it switch user). So sudo is short for super user do, and should be pronounced with a long "o" sound as in "sue doo" not "sue dough."
Destiny ViDoc - The new game from Halo creators, Bungie
mysdrialSounds impressive.
But they overpromised and underdelivered on Halo, too. I'll believe it when I see it.
Changing Tires While Driving on Two Wheels
mysdrialWhat kind of drive is this? Neither the front nor back wheel that are up are turning?
Forging Game of Thrones Sword
mysdrialThat is not what a fuller is for!

Everything Wrong With Avatar In 4 Minutes Or Less
mysdrialNah, that's just proof that the aliens that seeded all the worlds so that intelligent life would form were actually massive perverts.
Quote hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
What about the fact that the Nav'i have attractive human boobs. What are the chances that would evolve in the same way on aliens.
