Just watched the screencasts from the Hobo website, and must say I'm pretty amazed. So, what is Hobo?

Hobo is an Open Source extension to Ruby on Rails which helps you build full blown web applications incredibly quickly and easily. Available as a Gem or Rails plugin, Hobo provides a simple, clean and elegant development framework which allows for rapid prototyping or production of the most sophisticated web applications.

Watch the screencasts and try to keep your drooling levels low.

The SuperBot is one of the most highly adaptive robots I have seen to date. Most robots can tackle only one task at a time, that for which they were specialized. The SuperBot, on the other hand, is made up entirely of individual robots that can run by themselves or be put together to communicate with each other and move in creative ways. The robot was created by USC’s Information Sciences Institute.

I have compiled all of the available videos of this robot for your viewing pleasure:

When everyone is talking about the new Google AdWords TV ads trial, Ozan Halici and Jurgen Mayer from the University of Applied Sciences Ulm, Germany, released the movie "Master Plan, about the power of Google".

Even though I don't agree with everything stated in the movie, it is a very well done movie, so I decided to post it in my blog. The graphics are astonishing, take a look:

For the New York Times, David Pogue reviews Windows Vista, trying to prove in his video that "Microsoft did not steal ideas from Mac OS X".
