Sock-Sorting Robot Is Finally a Reality

Tue, 31 August 2010 10:36:58 - It looks like our constant paranoia about the impending robot uprising may have been a little premature -- they've just worked out how to sort socks. A team from the University of California, Berkeley, say it's been able to program a high-tech "PR2" robot to match a pair of socks, turn them the right way and bundle them into pairs. Currently the bot, which we will call the Sockinator, takes around 15 minutes to pick up two socks from a table, identify they are a match, and bunch them together. Check out a video of the sock-pairing robot in action ... ...

Who'd Make the Best Fighting-Game Drinking Buddies?

Mon, 30 August 2010 12:13:24 - Drinking buddies. Wing men. Boozin' brothers. We've all got them -- those guys whose entire friendship is entirely based on a shared passion for the pub. We at Asylum have given plenty of thought to drinking buddies in the past, taking the time to consider who'd make the best animal and the pro-wrestling drinking buddies. The next logical step, of course, was to compile a list of the ultimate fighting-game drinking buddies. Game: "Street Fighter II Turbo" Character: Zangief Role in the group: The lovable Russian Drink of choice: Vodka neat "Street Fighter" is full of awesome characters. Everymen Ken, Guile and Ryu are a bit dull; Blanka is liable to electrocute you; and the less said about M. Bison and Dhalsim the better. In our eyes, we'd choose between Chun-Li, E. Honda and Zangief. Well, Chun-Li isn't old enough to get into a pub and E. Honda is just too fat to sit on a bar stool. We had to go for the massive Russian. Keep reading for six more characters we'd like to do shots with. ... Game: "Tekken" Character: King Role in the group: The one with the animal head Drink of choice: Rum and Diet Coke Geeks among you will point out that King is in fact dead, and therefore won't reply to our Facebook invite to join us down at the bar. Well, this is all hypothetical, so just let us fantasize about drinking with an orphaned Mexican street fighter who becomes a monk and fights to get the cash to build an orphanage. Game: "Killer Instinct" Character: Chief Thunder Role in the group: The wise one Drink of choice: A Corona with lime? We've never met a Native American chief before, let alone a Native American chief who's fought in the "Killer Instinct" tournament, let alone a Native American chief who's fought in the "Killer Instinct" tournament and can do a reverse triplax. This was an easy decision. The thing is, would he want us to call him "Chief Thunder" all the time, or would just "Chief" be okay? Game: "Super Smash Bros." Character: Fox McCloud Role in the group: The one with military service Drink of choice: Erdinger, for some reason Fox McCloud is one of every young boy's childhood heroes, and thankfully his appearance in the fantastic "Super Smash Bros" made him eligible for our next bender. A consummate professional, Fox would make a great drinking buddy, telling his tales of intergalactic warfare. Game: "Mortal Kombat" Character: Sonya Blade Role in the group: The female friend Drink of choice: Scotch on the rocks Up to now our table is surrounded by an anthropomorphic fox, a Native American chief, a man with a leopard head and a massive Russian in a Speedo. Suffice it to say, we could use a woman's touch. That's where Sonya comes in. The original fighting-game hottie, Sonya is a special-forces agent who we reckon would be delightful company. Game: "Star Wars: Masters of Teras Karsi" Character: Chewbacca Role in the group: The hairy one Drink of choice: Chewie is a beer guy, surely OK, so "Masters of Teras Karsi" isn't exactly a classic. In fact, it was a much-maligned part of Lucasfilm's continuing merchandise onslaught, but that doesn't matter. It was a fighting game and Chewie was in it, so he's here in the pub with us. Game: "Double Dragon V: The Shadow Fall" Character: Billy Lee Role in the group: The normal(ish) guy Drink of choice: Lager We're talking about the cult-classic fighting game on the SNES. Billy seems like an average kind of guy, and every group of buddies needs a level-headed one. Who did we leave off our list? Let us know in the comments.

The Emmy Awards Get Social

Fri, 27 August 2010 21:31:30 - The 2010 Emmy Awards are this Sunday, and NBC is using the ceremony to embrace social media in a big way.NBC is using services such as Twitter, yfrog and Ustream to bring a more real-time experience to the event. These services will also let fans and viewers interact with Emmy presenters using social media. Due to time-shift viewing and a growing number of viewing alternatives via cable or the Internet, network television ratings are in a period of decline. Award shows, which are historically considered tentpole events, havent been immune to this trend, either.In 2010, the Golden Globes were broadcast live nationwide (without the standard tape delay), and the resultant ratings boost is just one reason that the 2010 Emmys will also be airing without delay.Tweet to the HostTo play into this live for everyone angle, NBC has a special website set up for fans to send tweets to host Jimmy Fallon.Fans can send messages using the site or the #imontheemmys hashtag along with a presenters name and a comment about him or her. Fallon may use some of these tweets as part of his introductions for these presenters during the live show.NBC is also taking red carpet question requests for stars on its message boards.Live-Streamed Backstage Show With a TwistOn Sunday night, red carpet arrivals will be streamed live on NBC.com, Ustream.com, AccessHollywood.com and Emmys.com. Red carpet live streaming has become a pretty standard online affair for award shows. Whats new for the Emmys, however, is that during the show itself, a live backstage show will be streamed online via NBC.com, Emmys.com and Ustream.com.Not dissimilar to what CBS did with the Grammy Awards this year (which may have contributed to the shows higher ratings), NBC will be having a backstage show with multiple cameras that fans can view from the Internet.These locations include the producers table, control room (side note: if you ever want to see brilliance in live directing, watch this channel), the green room, makeup and the press room.We actually think this is pretty innovative, as it provides a nice compliment to the live telecast. What we really like about this approach is that this isnt just the press room, which would be the easy approach. By showing many aspects of the backstage process, fans and viewers can become more invested in the show itself.Real-Time, Red Carpet Photo SharingTwitter service yfrog will also be participating in real-time fun with the award show. Yfrog has its own page that will be bringing fans photos and videos in real time from the event.Starting today, celebrities will be posing for pictures from the yfrog Photo Booth; those images will instantly be delivered via Twitter.On Sunday, Ryan Seacrest will be streaming his red carpet pictures and videos live and showing behind-the-scenes shots of the E! crew hard at work.Yfrog is also aggregating images and videos tagged #Emmys and is offering live streams of tweets from Emmy nominees.Will This Work?NBC has a lot riding on the Emmys this year. General Electric is currently working towards closing a deal to sell NBC-Universal to Comcast, a deal that has caught the interest of the FCC and the Justice Department.The network has maintained high ratings through the summer, but Sunday night will be an important time to advertise its new and returning slate of shows. Bringing in a large audience for the Emmys could help the network get off to a solid start once the fall television season officially starts.By making the show live nationwide and tapping into social media to bring more of the experience to fans at home, NBC might just see its ratings increase.As for us, well, well be watching not just because we love award shows (we do), but because if Conan wins for Best Late Night show for the The Tonight Show, we really want to see what he says about NBC in his acceptance speech. Contractual rules be damned, we want fireworks!What do you think of the social campaign the Emmys are launching this year?More About: award shows, emmy awards, Emmys, television, twitter, ustream, yfrogFor more Entertainment coverage:Follow Mashable Entertainment on TwitterBecome a Fan on FacebookSubscribe to the Entertainment channelDownload our free apps for iPhone and iPad
