Cheetahroid Robot Hails From South Korea

Cheetahroid Robot Hails From South Korea

Hmmm, is it me or are we seeing more and more robots which move around on all four limbs in action. After all, there was the cheetah from Boston Dynamics and more recently, folks from Switzerland have a robot that resembles that of a cat. Well, the latest specimen of a robot that gets up and about on all fours would be the CheetahRoid that hails from South Korea, a country which is not associated with robots traditionally. The "supporting cast", or rather, creators of the Cheetaroid, happen to be a team from Sogang University's Robotic Systems Control Laboratory that is helmed by Professor Kyoungchul Kong.

Halo Warthog, Master Chief Make Appearance At Seattle Pride Parade

Halo Warthog, Master Chief Make Appearance At Seattle Pride Parade

This past weekend, many people of the LGBT community took to the streets in major cities across the U.S. to show their pride and support for one another. Considering this past pride weekend took place days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage, we have a feeling more people turned up for these events than they normally would based on what a huge win it was for the LGBT community.
Not only did LGBT people turn out for these pride parades, but a number of companies attended to show their support.

'Filter Fakers' Name And Shame Instagram Users That Post Fake #nofilter Pictures

Instagram made photo filters popular, that's a fact. The service allowed users to easily add a wide variety of filters to the pictures they had taken or were stored on their devices. Since its launch many new services have popped up that offer similar functionality, but Instagram remains in a league of its own, not to mention the fact that Facebook bought it for a billion dollars. More often than not you'll see people posting pictures with the #nofilter hashtag, this means that the picture has not been modified in any way.

PlayStation 3 owners have most likely been playing Naughty Dog's latest masterpiece, The Last of Us, for the past couple of weeks. But we're sure players weren't aware there was a portion of the game which accidentally links to a real-world phone-sex hotline, which the game's developer corrected in the release of its latest patch for The Last of Us. The Last of Us patch 1.02 was released over the weekend in order to address the accidental inclusion of a phone-sex hotline phone number which is pinned to one of the game's numerous bulletin boards.

vPulse In-Ear Headphones review

vPulse In-Ear Headphones review

As I do more and more earphone and headphone reviews, I'm struck by the sheer volume of new models becoming available almost daily. Not only that, but companies that have never offered personal audio before are now jumping in big time. One such company is Velodyne. Anyone familiar with high end home audio will recognize the Velodyne brand of subwoofers. But now - you guessed it - Velodyne has entered the crowded headphone market with an impressive selection. In 2012, they released the vPulse In-Ear Headphones and followed with the vFree wireless and vTrue Studio headphones in 2013.

Next-Gen Nexus 7 Specs Leaked By ASUS Rep? [Rumor]

Next-Gen Nexus 7 Specs Leaked By ASUS Rep? [Rumor]

It's been a year since Google launched their Nexus 7, a tablet which was not only incredibly affordable, but came with pretty decent specs at well which was surprising given how much it cost. So the question is, when will Google launch the Nexus 7's successor. One could correctly assume that Google would be interested in keeping up the popularity of the Nexus 7, so shouldn't it be soon that the Nexus 7's successor be announced. According to the folks at AusDroid, they were sent several screenshots where one person took it upon themselves to get in touch with an ASUS rep online to inquire about the Nexus 7's successor.
