Here the report by Danish Nadeem:

…Today I watched [DFKI] winning 3:1 against Fraunhofer Institute [IESE] in Football.Much thrill could be sensed in second half of the game, when 2 spectacular goals were made by dfki team, offcourse some credit goes to pro-DFKI wind

And another one by Martin:

Gunnar attacks Baumann with real science, Baumann striking back with computational culture. Both armed to the teeth with deadly MacSaber powerbooks.

this MacSaber application sure is an argument for buying a new powerbook. read my previous post on that.

To 'do an Amir'
To con money out of someone, lie or be otherwise dishonest, only to face ritual humiliation on a worldwide scale.

read the whole story on news.

and, if you dare, look at the original site by the laptopguy. Although Jesus says: never do bad things to fight bad things.

Honda has published a history of their Asimo robot series, very interesting and a nice background on research: boys, it takes time to make something good.

read ASIMO here!

that inspired me te brushup the image by them and compare it to current semantic desktop proceedings. If we compare the state of ASIMO with semantic desktop, it would look like this:


robotics is sometimes as ambitious as semantic web. It hink the current Semantic Desktops look like early ASIMO prototypes while end-users expect them to look like Microsoft Software, like people expect robots to look like Enterprise's 'Data' and robots look like metal with motors.
there is hope though, that we will be faster with semantic desktop than with humanoid robots
