No Comments »PS3 ‘jailbreak code’ retweeted by Sony’s Kevin Butler, no punchline needed
Author: Janet Odell
Oh, honey. Sony PlayStation’s (entirely fictional) Kevin Butler holds many (also fictional) positions within the company, but apparently none of them require him to keep up with (very real) news events. Travis La Marr (aka @exiva) tweeted the now-infamous PS3 METLDR root key towards Butler and challenging him to “Come at me.” What’s a spokeperson to do but confuse it for a Battleship refrence and retweet the entire code? Obviously someone let him in on the joke, as the tweet’s since been removed (original URL can be found as More Coverage below). At least Sony won’t have to subpoena for his info here. Geohot, we hope you’re laughing.
[Thanks, Scott M]

Butler Robot Can Fetch Drinks, Snacks
Author: Janet Odell
Meet HERB, a robot from Intel’s research labs that can fetch drinks, get a pack of chips and sort dishes. HERB or the Home Exploring Robotic Butler is a project from Intel’s personal robotics group.
The robot sits on a tricked-out Segway base and has arms that are driven by cables to allow it to be extremely dexterous. A spinning laser on the top of the robot help generates 3-D data so robot can identify objects. There’s also a camera to help it “see.”
“It (the robot) looks big but it will fit through most doorways,” says Siddhartha Srinivasa, an Intel researcher who is working on the project. “It’s about a foot longer than the human wingspan.”
Users can tell HERB what they need using an iPhone interface that the team built. There’s also a voice recognition program in the works so you can just tell the robot loud what you want it to do.
The HERB project has been in the works for nearly four years. Intel showed the robot’s latest features at its annual research day fest on Wednesday.
HERB is just one of the many robotics project that is trying to teach machines how to do everyday tasks. Willow Garage, a Palo Alto, California based startup has a robot called PR2 that is being trained to sort laundry and fold towels.
The idea is to teach robots to go beyond carefully structured and repetitive tasks so they can move beyond factories.
Check out the video of HERB at work. HERB doesn’t move fast but if you could just sit on the couch and have it bring a bottle of beer every time, a few seconds delay shouldn’t bother you that much.

Intel shows off ‘HERB’ the robotic butler, the future is unimpressed
Author: Alexander McQueen
So, you’re glamping out on Mars, and of course you need someone to buttle you as you relax within your well appointed, synthetic diamond-reinforced space tent; who better than a robotic butler? Good thing we’ve come a long way in the last 100 years or so, can you believe that early 21st century humans had to get by with this bot built by Intel named “HERB,” who could barely manage to drop an empty into the recycling bin? Sure, he wasn’t totally worthless, he could sort dishes and put them in the dishwasher (edible flatware wasn’t the norm back then), and managed a vague approximation of speech synthesis (this was before Google blew the lid off the whole artificial voice problem in the 2030s), but it’s hard to call any of these capabilities truly useful to any modern family. Check out the video after the break, and there’s no need to don your 4D glasses: this holovid is flat and scentless.

E3 2010- Kevin Butler Speech (Playstation 3)
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Sony’s fictional character Kevin Butler gives a rousing speech at E3 as to why he loves gaming, firing a couple of headshots at Microsoft in the process. Mocking Microsoft’s use of Circue du Soleil to launch the Kinect motion controller “100 French acrobats prancing around an arena”, there’s plenty of excited folk whooping and cheering Mr Butler’s every word as he describes a variety of reasons why Sony should be the gamers choice.
