The Guitar Hero Robot - incredible!

This afternoon, while watching the LeWeb3 live feed I was able to rush to capture this amazing robot, created for the sole purpose of playing the Playstation game, Guitar Hero. Watch and enjoy.

Yale University is making some of its most popular undergraduate courses freely available to anyone in the world with access to...

Final day of LeWeb3, wherever you are I'm up ridiculously early this morning to get some productive stuff going before it's dark again outside, having felt that most of yesterday slipped away from under me. I hadn't spoken to a real person until nearly 6pm when Dean in Moose Jaw, Canada, was kind enough to have a video Skype for a half-hour. Who says technology stops us...
