Leonardo, the new MIT robot
I reckon doc, that it just waits for further input as it "Looks" at the girlie. If it receives no "Good" command it looks back at the "Target(S)" for whatever "visual" confirmation it requires. Still very basic binary style command/response but the stabilising and gyro systems look ok. And a Mogwai.. lol
Ferrari in Paris
On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.
No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.
Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

High Speed Video of Daisuke Matsuzaka's "Gyro Ball" Pitch
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
A "Gyro Ball" is supposedly a new pitching style that gyrates the baseball while thrown. There is debate over whether this is a "new" type of pitch or not. It was reportedly used by Daisuke at the 2006 World Baseball Classic.

Quake 3 on 24 Monitors and with a Gyroscopic Mouse
What's not to love about that, eh? I'd ditch the gyro mouse for an hi res optical though.
