Sphero team hacks together an Android controlled blender

Image
    Having won the AT&T developer hackathon just before CES this year, the Sphero developer team decided that their booth was the perfect place to create an Android-controlled blender. To accomplish this, the team took one of their Sphero robots and rigged it up to the blender in less than 20 minutes. The Orbotix team has a history of having a good time. These robotics professionals view taking things apart and messing with them as downtime, which is one of the reasons their Sphero product is so developer friendly. As the team celebrates 20 apps that interact with the Sphero directly at CES this year, they felt it was necessary to demonstrate that the hardware used in their little robots can do just about anything. To accomplish this the team invited me to come to their booth and help hack a Sphero onto a blender. Well, I say help, but really I just held tools for Sphero founder Adam Wilson while he did all the work. Since Sphero robots are sealed within their ...

IBM Claim Fastest Processor

Keep in mind when a 1.4GHz processor was deemed the world's fastest? Man, that was ages ago. freshly, IBM has laid claim to that very record,  with its 5.2GHz z196 processor  being the central point. Of course, we've seen a number of customer chips hum along at speeds well beyond that (thanks to sophisticated cooling systems, of course), but this here enterprise chip does it without any liquid nitrogen-based assistance. It's a four-core slab that was manufactured using the garments 45 nanometer technology, boasting 1.4 billion transistors and the ability to handle more than 50 billion instructions per second. Interestingly, Fujitsu's Venus CPU is said to handle a staggering 128 billion calculations per second, so we're guessing that IBM won't be snagging this crown without any argue from the competition. At any rate, there's a very convincing video waiting for you after the break, and no, you won't find this thing in your next Alienware anytime...
