Finally, A Useful Robot: The Robot That Only Draws Peens
Author: Stacey Cook
This is the robot created by genius David Neevel (of separating the creme for OREOs and typing by playing guitar fame) that only draws peens. Well, it can also WRITE the word penis too. It might be the most advanced robot the world has ever seen, even if the penises it draws aren’t really that amazing. Still way better looking than yours though.
Hit the jump for the video.

DisARMing mobile: is Intel finally ready to live inside your phone?
Author: Tiffany Shoman
It’s been difficult to escape Intel’s presence at Computex Taipei this week; not only has the chip maker used Asia’s biggest computer event to formally launch its Haswell PC microarchitecture, it’s yet again made the case that it’s a serious player in the mobile space. And on the face of it, there may be reason to believe.

Evernote finally remembers to add Reminders to Android app
Author: Jon Daniels
Two weeks after Evernote added Reminders to its Mac, iOS and web applications, the highly-anticipated feature has arrived for Android as well. As with the other platforms, you can now set up an alarm just by tapping the clock icon in a note. You’ll be able to configure due dates, times and whether you want to be alerted via in-app notification or email. The Reminders are then attached to each notebook, allowing you to organize them in a to-do list if you so choose. You can permit friends or colleagues to subscribe to them too, which could be useful if you want note collaborators to keep track of project deadlines.
Aside from helping you memorize things, Evernote also added a few other improvements to the Android app. They include improved copy and paste in note view, corrected photo order in the multi-shot camera, more functional shortcuts and better Japanese language support. There’s no need to remind yourself to download this update — just head on over to the Google Play link and get it right now.

Lenovo’s IdeaPad Yoga 11S, the true successor to the Yoga 13, is finally on sale
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Lenovo’s IdeaPad Yoga 13 has been one of the most popular Windows 8 machines, combining an ultrabook’s design and specs with a rotating, back-bending touchscreen. But the smaller Yoga 11 was underpowered by comparison, running Windows RT on an ARM processor. As of today, though, Lenovo is rolling out an alternative: the Yoga 11S, which replaces the 11′s Tegra chip with an Intel one and runs Windows 8. Lenovo has started accepting orders for the 11S on its site, and they’ll soon be available online at Best Buy. The base model costs $ 799.99 — about $ 250 more than the current price of its RT counterpart — and comes with an 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 display, 4GB of memory, a 128GB SSD, and a Core i3 processor, upgradeable to a Core i5 or i7….

Kindle finally getting a color screen? Amazon buys Liquavista display company
Author: Jenny Zhao
Samsung’s been teasing its flexible, full-color display technology since 2011 when it acquired Liquavista, but it never actually shipped in a consumer product. One of the few companies that still has a viable e-reader business, Amazon today confirmed to CNET that it had purchased the company from Samsung, following early reports from The Digital Reader. With tablets, e-readers, and rumored plans to get into the phone game, Amazon should be able to take advantage of Liquavista’s electrowetting displays (EWD) that enable flexible, full-color, low-powered touchscreens.

Toshiba Kirabook review: finally, a flagship Windows 8 laptop
Author: James Cliff
Typically when I meet with a manufacturer to talk about new products, they’re coy about mentioning their competitors. They refer to “our competition,” or “other players,” or “similar devices.” Every company wants me to believe it’s the only company on the planet, that any others aren’t even worth the lip service.
That’s what made my last meeting with Toshiba so odd. While showing me the new Kirabook, the highest-end ultrabook the company has ever made and the first in a new line, the company’s product managers and PR reps couldn’t stop talking about Apple. They told me “we’re lighter than Air,” and compared “apples to apples — our apples to Apple’s apples.” While other manufacturers have raced to the bottom and to the lowest…
