Darren Rowse has an interesting post on this new little feature for blog. Its called sidenotes, combination of Javascript and CSS. You’ll be able to insert notes and pictures inbetween the articles and the readers has the ability of hide the notes if they felt like it.
You can see them in action here.
Very cool and unique feature, makes me wonder if it works with Blogger.com and is it possible to insert adsense into the notes? Please enlighten me. Thanks.
Microsoft makes software for robots
I just couldn’t believe it, Microsoft is going to make Robots? As far as I am concern, Honda has the most advance robot in the world provided that the Pentagon not developing one at the moment. Software is the heart of every hardware, and without software, the hardware is just a few pieces of silicon glued together.
If Microsoft were to produce software for robots and by any chance any company that market it, I gurantee you I’ll won’t buy that piece of metal or plastic. Just imagine a hacker gain entry to your buggy unstable Microsoft’s software, and with those high quality camera lens mounted into every robot, making love is no longer a private thing.
This week the division has released its first bit of software the Microsoft Robotics Studio which aims to create common technological standards in the industry. A spokesVole said that it’s intended for use with a wide range of robots although it runs on Windows.
Trower said that Vole believes robotics could present a big opportunity as the market grows and consumer robotics alone will grow into a multibillion-dollar industry in five to 10 years.
