Webwatch Issue 208

sorry for no-show last week. my links got looted...

essential = *

Objêts

*nice one. right wing extremists tricked by "trojan t-shirts" with a secret message that shows up when you wash them.

world’s fastest two-legged robot goes for a run. usain bolt probably doesn't need to worry for a while yet.

more robots! in a swarm! finding a book! really slowly!

man builds an arduino gadget to silence annoying celebs on tv. interestingly, he's quite annoying himself.

Software

brilliant site that predicted the likelihood of riots near you, based on postcode

but seriously, US cops are actually using tech to predict crime before it happens (minority report, anyone?)

*my neighbourhood in proper 3d, via nokia's beautiful new streetview rival. pity it's so awkward to use.

Media

ridley scott to direct a new blade runner movie. potentially amazing/rubbish methinks.




thanks to mike t for link.

keep watching...
