		<title>22-foot tall robot crafted entirely from excess styrofoam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Robots

Building a big robot is nothing to congratulate yourself on, but doing it in this manner is certainly worthy of a little self-indulgence. The creature you see standing before you is a 22-foot tall Styrobot constructed entirely from spare polystyrene packing materials, and no, each piece didn&#8217;t just show up that way.

		<title>Anti-terrorist drill reveals Segway attack plan, legions of embarrassed patrolmen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Transportation

 Ah, ha! So, that Chinese S.W.A.T. team we caught ridin&#8217; dirty on Segways earlier this week actually had a reason to be carrying on like they were &#8212; they were performing anti-terrorist drills in preparation for security during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Comically enough, the drill was said to be [...]]]></description>

These days, the cool kids are looking to do more than just play back the freshest jams on their portable media player. We&#8217;re talking video, PVR, WiFi, the works. Have a listen at Marco&#8217;s question, and if you think you could do one better, send in your inquiry to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Matias Duarte, designer behind Sidekick and Helio, now developing Palm&#8217;s next-gen UI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Cellphones
So we heard from a very reliable source that mobile user interface guru Matias Duarte &#8212; who you may know as the man behind the Sidekick and Helio UI / user experiences &#8212; actually left Helio late last year to join up with Palm. Although no announcement was made, we hear he and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hitachi and Seiyu develop light bulb with replaceable arc tube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Household

While the rest of the world goes off to win the hearts of environmentalists (and laypeople, too) with LED light bulbs, Hitachi Lighting and Seiyu are taking the road (way) less traveled. Reportedly, the duo has collaborated in order to pop out a &#8220;bulb-shaped fluorescent lamp that can be separated into a lighting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Motorola&#8217;s worldly Q9: &#8220;Napoleon&#8221; breaks cover for Verizon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds

It looks like Motorola and Verizon are getting ready to take a third crack at the Q9 form factor, following up the Q9m and Q9c &#8212; and this time around, there&#8217;s a little something extra in store. On top of the EV-DO Rev. A radio, the so-called &#8220;Napoleon&#8221; (codename, of course) features [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is the BlackBerry KickStart getting a $50 price tag on T-Mobile?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Cellphones

We could tell by looking that RIM wouldn&#8217;t think of charging too many hundies for its still unannounced BlackBerry KickStart, but $49.99? CrackBerry has it that said flip phone will be selling at T-Mobile for a penny under $50 on a two-year contract, which certainly seems smart given the competition. &#8216;Course, we&#8217;ve nothing [...]]]></description>

		<title>NVIDIA said to be dropping GeForce GTX 280 price in response to AMD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Desktops, Gaming

It only launched a few weeks ago, but it looks like NVIDA could already be set to cut the price of its top-end GeForce GTX 280 graphics card &#8212; a move that would be prompted, as you might have guessed, by AMD&#8217;s cheaper but powerful Radeon HD 4800 series. According to HotHardware, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gateway&#8217;s 17-inch P-6831FX gaming laptop gets reviewed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Laptops

Given that Gateway just pushed out a round of updates including the relatively ginormous P Series, we reckon it was only logical to expect a review shortly. To be frank, the P-6831FX critiqued over at HotHardware is far from being the most potent machine with a 17-inch panel, but unlike many of its [...]]]></description>

		<title>HP rolls out Puma-based Compaq 6735b, 6535b business laptops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Filed under: Laptops

HP has already busted out a bundle of Puma-based laptops and tablets, but it looks like it&#8217;s not done with AMD&#8217;s latest platform just yet, with it now rolling out a pair of new Compaq laptops aimed at business users. Those include the 15.4-inch Compaq 6735b and the 14.1-inch 6535b, each of which [...]]]></description>
