ckBots break apart, but they don’t stay that way.
If you kick apart this robot, its separate pieces wake up, look around for each other and then collaboratively decide how to reunite.
It’s a way of building large robots out of small robots, according to University of Pennsylvania associate professor C.J.

The netbook craze is huge. It seems that every day someone else introduces a new netbook. What makes them different from the UMPC or the Tablet PC classes of computers that never seemed to take off? Why does this different class of PC succeed when other classes have failed? I spoke it over with an Associate Editor of Gadgetell.com, Robert Nelson, and here is what we thought: 1.

Microsoft has joined Washington state in a lawsuit against scammers who use “scareware” to sell useless and often malicious software. The vendors, who will not be identified until Monday, are being charged under the state’s Computer Spyware Act. So called “scareware” is the name given to those programs that advertise via ads made to look like warnings from Windows XP or Vista. They usually “warn” the viewer that they may have an urgent sounding (yet fake) computer issue and that their software is needed to fix it. Instead, the consumer either wastes money on a useless program or ends up with spyware or malware on their system. (Read the full post about ‘Microsoft joins suit against scareware scammers’…)

by Donald Melanson, posted Sep 26th 2008 at 12:56PMWell, it looks like the good times that are the Ubuntu alpha testing process hit a bit of a snag recently, as one of the latest kernels apparently had the nasty side effect of irreparably damaging some users’ hardware — specifically, certain Intel network cards. So far, it seems that only laptops have been affected by the bug, which corrupts the NVRAM used to store data like MAC addresses, but folks don’t seem to be ruling out the possibility that it could affect desktops as well. What’s more, while a warning has been added to the ISO download, it hasn’t been pulled altogether, with the only explanation given being that it would delay the 8.10 release schedule too much.

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 26th 2008 at 10:50AMNot even two full months after Sagem fell into the obviously capable hands of Sofinnova, out pops the company’s return to the red carpet. Picking right up (numerically speaking, at least) where the P’9521 left off is the well-endowed P’9522, which was reportedly built with a little help from Porsche Design. The candybar features an aluminum chassis, 2.8-inch display, 5-megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, fingerprint reader and a microSD card slot. Unfortunately, the fun and games end there, as there’s no 3G radio anywhere to be found; plus, you’ll be asked to lay down about €600 ($875) to acquire one when it ships next month.

by Stephanie Patterson, posted Sep 26th 2008 at 9:04AM If you’re having trouble choosing which gaming mouse to sink your teeth into next, here’s a newbie to add to the ever growing pile: the Nova Slider X 600. Not surprisingly, it’s tethered to a “recommended” mouse pad — a cornerstone product for this French based company. As for the laser mouse it features “indestructible” super-glide ceramic feet for speed and precision, along with 8 programmable buttons, a gold-plated USB connector, five luminous color options, and a cable that is notably positioned to the side. The 16.5-inch x 11.5-inch “OVER Slide” mouse pad boasts a 12,000 dpi ceramic surface, and promises “zero lag and optimal conditions” for the laser — you know, way better than that magazine you’ve been using.
