You now have a chance to bid on one of only two existing FT (Female Type) robots created by Tomotaka Takahashi, father of Chroino, Magdan, and Neon. Designed after studying professional models, the bot has 23 motors and 2 gyroscopes that need bi-annual checkups. FT stands 35cm high, weighs 800g, is controlled by an onboard computer and lithium polymer battery, and is made of carbon and plastic. The robotics expert believes that in the future over 50% of all bots will be female. Before you get too excited at the thought of owning your own Takahashi original, note that the bidding starts at $300,000.00.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Home Entertainment, Misc. Tech, Science, Videos,
Sega has dreamed up a way for us to starwatch in our own homes with Homestar Planetarium Pro. Similar to larger scale star-watching programs, the device makes one turn every 12 minutes, features a professional lens system, a 270 cm diameter picture, 3x LED lighting, a timer, two discs of the northern hemisphere (regular and constellations,) and access to over 10,000 stars and planets. Available in metallic silver or black, the mini-planetarium runs on a simple AC adapter and comes with a handbook for discovering those constellations you know are out there, but couldn’t find before. Find yours at C Scout for $259.99.

Over on Unboxing, we just posted a new video of us opening up a Nikon D80 Outfit set. The D80 Outfit is the retail box that includes the Nikon D80 digital SLR, along with an 18-55mm lens. It’s fairly pricey at about $1200, but you can find the Nikon D80 Outfit cheaper if you shop around for it. Enjoy the unboxing video for now, and look for a review shortly.

Is That Really a Tiger Across the Street?
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Videos,
Video artist Karolina Sobeca has created a type of screen projection of animals called Wildlife that we just had to share with any of you that had never seen it previously. Connected to a moving car, the frame rate of the moving images corresponds to the speed of the automobile’s wheel rotation by use of a sensor. If the car stops, the screen creature does as well. The projection often flickers or disappears when detected on buildings, another car, or humans. We dig Karolina’s approach to art, “We are elevated from the everyday reality through this element of fantasy into a world with more dimensions, possibilities and perhaps beauty.”

The commercial first aired this evening during an episode of 60 Minutes. The announcement of the release date was subtle, and was featured at the end of the spot, which showcase a few of the iPhone’s functions. We were expecting Steve Jobs to announce the launch date at WWDC, but what do we know? All that matters now is that the biggest mobile phone launch in history is just a few weeks away.
UPDATE: Apple just posted three new iPhone commercials, all featuring the June 29 launch date.
