We’re not going to make any judgments regarding the hentai-tastic Cyber Figure Alice, but let’s just say this product is of questionable purpose .

In essence, Dennou Figure ARis comes with two "cybercubes" and two "cybersticks." Using a webcam, the software projects Alice on the cybercubes. You can then, uh, manipulate her using the cybersticks, undress her, touch her, change her clothes, and, well, we’ll leave the rest up to you, you naughty little thing, you. Look for her this fall in the dark underworld of your import shop if you must. [Via CrunchGear ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

With such mapping robots, it’s possible to capture accurate data for over 10,000 square meters per day and to easily integrate it with existing software. The article doesn’t mention the sources for its illustrations about these robotic systems, so I thought I’d point them out...

PreacherTom writes "An analysis comparing the top 50 open-source software projects to proprietary software from over 100 different companies was conducted by Coverity, working in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security and Stanford University.
