DARwIn-OP learns to skate, contemplates NHL career (video)
Author: Christen Arquette
On the list of dangerous humanoid bots DARwIn is easily topped by the bow-happy iCub. Still — we don’t trust this thing one iota. While we haven’t seen it pick up any weaponry just yet, our friends to the north are teaching it one of man’s most notoriously violent sports: hockey. Researchers at the University of Manitoba have managed to train the former RoboCup star to stay upright while shuffling about on skates. Smacking a puck into a goal, on the other hand, has proven somewhat trickier. Eventually Jennifer, as the autonomous hockey-bot has been dubbed, managed to get the hang of it, but we don’t think the Flyers or Rangers will be offering her the big bucks just yet. And, honestly, before this little guy gets too good and turns into a bully on the ice, we’d get it to switch games — curling suddenly seems like a perfectly acceptable past time. Check out the video after the break.

ZTE Skate launches worldwide, attempts to stick landing in the US
Author: Tiffany Shoman
The ZTE Skate — spiritual sucessor to the Blade and current flagship — is pushing on with its global roll-out and it looks like it may reach the US. Now on sale in Hong Kong, Brazil and Spain, the Skate is rolling down the French Alps and into France and the UK, where the Orange-branded Monte Carlo (a Skate in phone network clothing) is already available. With a different ZTE device set to arrive on Cricket soon, the electronics giant also intends to bring this 4.3-inch phone to the US in the near future, though there’s nothing concrete on dates and prices just yet. According to ZTE’s executive VP He Shiyou, the company is set to launch “a total of 30 smartphone models” by the end of the year. We fear the company may run out of flat-shaped names before the end of November. Head on over to our Chinese site for some hands-on shots.

Pico Dolly replaces homemade roller skate tripods for smaller camera productions (video)
Author: Jesus Sargent
Instead of precariously perching your DSLR on a skateboard in the name of film, perhaps it’s time to invest in something a little more stable — like the extremely affordable Pico Dolly. Machined from aluminum, this 3.5-inch, three pound dolly has wheels akin to those found on Rollerblades, plus three screw mounts to attach the optional 11-inch friction arm. The contraption can glide straight or shoot in circles while taking up minimal room — something that videographers using cameras like the A77 and E-P3 (or even the iPhone) can surely appreciate. Unlike its conceptual twin, which currently costs $ 150 and isn’t scheduled to ship until October, the Pico Dolly can be had for $ 65 (or $ 90 if you want the friction arm included) and is scheduled to ship by September 12th. Check out the cinematic assistant in action after the break.

Bag Week Review: Incase Skate Messenger
Author: admin
Short version Do you carry around a desktop replacement-sized laptop? Then step right up to the Incase Skate Messenger. You’ll have enough room for the laptop and quite possibly a silverback gorilla as well.
Features:
• Easily fits a 17-inch laptop
• She’s weather-resistant
• Laptop compartment is nice and padded
• Batman-esque utility/compartment belt (batarang not included)
• MSRP $219
Pros
• It’s giant (but in a good way)
• There’s plenty of little compartments all over the place to stash smaller items
• Beefy shoulder strap padding is quite comfortable
Cons
• You really need to be carrying a lot of stuff at all times for this to be worthwhile
• Not a fan of the shiny plastic interior, looks a little tacky (IMO)
• I haven’t bought a bag since 1998, do these things really cost $200+?
Full review
That last bullet point is true: I haven’t bought a bag since 7th grade, and even then my parents bought that for me. The bag I use today, some small Crumpler bag, was actually given to me two years ago by Peter Ha, king of TechLand. It fits my old MacBook just fine, and I can squeeze in a camera in there. In short, it works for my needs.
That’s the key when looking at the Incase Skate Messenger: if you have a need for a bag that’s able to hold up to a 17-inch laptop, as well as a whole bunch of other items, well, you’re looking at a fine bag. If you’re not the type who needs to be carrying all that equipment you can safely go with a smaller bag.
The bag I have here is black, so you’ll fit right in with the rest of the fashionistas in New York. Heaven forbid the people of New York have a bag that’s, I don’t know, blue or red.
It’s a large bag. I was able to stuff in there the follow items: an Adidas Jabulani, a pair of sneakers, an Xbox 360 controller, several issues of Edge magazine, an iPod touch, and a camcorder. Could I have fit more things? Looks like, but that would be bordering on silly.
So if I can fit all that nonsense in there, you can safely tote around a 17-inch MacBook Pro, a separate mouse and keyboard, and anything else you’d need to actually work. You could well stick a DSLR or camcorder in there, but serious photographers might want a dedicated camera bag. Again, I just tend to stick all my stuff in the same bag. Perhaps you’re not as reckless with your equipment as I am!
The main flap closes shut with velcro, but you can further secure that with additional clips.
About the only negative I can say is that there’s quite a few side compartments, so if you were to, say, put your headphones in one of them I can easily see you saying, “Oh man, which compartment did I put my stupid headphones in?â€
Conclusion
Again, if you need a lot of bag this would do nicely—it’s basically like walking around with the Ferrari of bags. If you don’t need to bring enough equipment to knock out an elephant then Incase has plenty of smaller options.

iPhone 4: How does it perform for video recording? Let’s bike to the skate park…
Author: Antonio Pierce
BoingBoing.net’s Xeni Jardin takes the iPhone 4 out for a Venice Beach bike ride, to test the smartphone’s new high-resolution video recording capabilities. 100% of video footage in this video was shot with iPhone 4. For some portions (while riding bike), the iPhone was strapped on to Xeni’s hand with rubber bands (The Rubber Band Steadicam), and the iPhone camera was facing one direction with medium-res video recording. In other sections of this video (skaters skating, orchids, ocean, and interview with skater Kiko, age 8) the iPhone camera was activated in the other direction and captured high-resolution video. You can see the difference, but both outperformed other smartphones and handheld ultra-mobile digital video camcorders. When it comes to video recording, iPhone 4 is the one to beat. You have to be mindful of that camera orientation switch option noted above with FaceTime: when you shoot video out of one side of the device, you get lower-resolution 640 x 480 footage, and when you shoot out of the other side, you get far higher-res 1280 x 720. As with the still camera function, you can tap an area to focus in, even while you are shooting. Video is saved and exported as h.264 QuickTime, and you can email, MMS, or publish to YouTube right from the iPhone. File sizes for the raw footage we used to edit together this video were surprisingly small, too. For an example: a 13-second clip of Xeni talking to camera, shot in the medium-resolution (640×480) mode, was 5.2MB …
