Here’s a pretty pretty watch: The new Botta Uno 24, a german time machine that has a 24 hour dial and one single hand, which rotates at half the speed of a normal hour hand. Made of stainless steel and capable of resisting three atmospheres of pressure, the manufacturer says that each of the marks in their watch corresponds to the actual position of the Sun in the sky. Whatever. We just think they look like a nice present for $395.
I’m getting this.
The specs:
2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, a 15.4″ display, 200GB hard drive and 4GB of memory all for around $600.
14.1″ display for $950
BluRay capable for a few hundred extra.
These have gone way down in price from the previous models. I wonder if they found some cheaper parts.

Fancy a cooking robot to help you roll out a gourmet treat this Christmas? We have earlier told you about some of the finest humanoid robots, including the Chinese AIC-AI cooking robot that is capable of making Sichuan, Shandong and Canton cuisines along with thousands of Chinese dishes. But, for the Japanese food-lover, the multi-talented Motoman SDA10 from Yaskawa Electric is a perfect robot-servant that can grill okonomiyaki with manual precision. When done with grilling the dish, Motoman even puts it on a plate and applies condiments. Designed to operate independently alongside humans in the workplace, the 135-centimeter (4.5 ft) tall, 220-kilogram (480 lb) industrial robot has 15 joints — 7 in each arm and one in the torso — allowing a wide range of motion for the job, whether it be on the factory floor or behind the kitchen counter. The robot is on display at the International Next-Generation Robot Fair now underway in Osaka. The company reported a sales plan: 1,200 units/year for 2008, 2,400 units/year for 2009, 3,000 units/year for 2010 or after.
