Check out this robot, developed by Wörgötter and his fellow researchers in Germany, the “RunBot” is distinct and unlike the robots you’ve seen in movies and films. The RunBot has learned not only how to walk with a remarkable human-like lazy gait but also how to ascend higher terrains such as a ramp. The RunBot has previously been featured by Engadget, but this time researchers are hoping to make another breakthrough.
It’s recently been revealed that Wii Software which is the European version of Wii Ware will set to launch this March. The company responsible for this project, Engine Software says, “Nintendo’s WiiWare service is a new downloadable game content service that is scheduled to be launched in March 2008″.
They also said, “When we acquired our official Wii license last year we already had several concepts written up that would be ideal for WiiWare, and Project Bang! is the first to actually go into production. We wanted to get rolling on this exciting new platform early on, and I am quite happy we are now on schedule to do just that.”

This may not come as a surprise for those from North America but we here in the UK certainly don’t know much about this. Did you know Google could be used in North America as a phone directory search service for free dialed from any home phone, cell phone, etc…The number to call is 1-800-GOOG-411, which I believe is essentially a free call. And it’s an automated service and you basically tell them where you are and what you’re looking for and they’ll tell you a list of results. The best thing for you is, it will connect you to the result you have chosen absolutely free by just staying on the line.

One very basic yet unavailable function that’s been in every iPhone user’s wish list might be finally coming to the iPhone in the next firmware update v1.1.3. We’ve all seen the latest iPhone firmware news and the pictures showing features that the general public now expects to see when the update arrives but apparently there is now even more.
It seems with all the fuss about sending mass texts, new google map features and all the icon dragging, etc, etc… some of us have stopped pondering when copy and paste would come in.
According to MacScoop, this update will come in quite soon “Apple will release an iPhone software update during MacWorld Expo 2008, well informed sources confirmed MacScoop.”
It’s also been suggested that although we know of a few features that will probably come up in the next update, there may well be others we haven’t yet a clue about. For example, the update should provide better stability and performance for the device which sometimes suffers from UI glitches and application hangs in its current version.

Happy new year everyone!
Found some exclusive photos of the iPhone running the recently rumored, latest v1.1.3 firmware upgrade. It’s been debated whether these are the actual or just fake photos created by the geekiest masters of photoshop. This is because some of the stunning features shown in the photos differ from what’s been rumored.
Some of the new features include:
- Editing the iPhone’s menu:
- Icon dragging! Dragging the mail and calculator icon is shown in the pics below:
Here’s a video which will show you specifically how to connect your Wii controller through bluetooth to use programs through a script editor called glovepie. The result is that you’ll be able to use the Wii mote in programs like virtual drums.
