Glowing Three-Inch Heels: The Adult Version of Light-Up Sneakers [Geek Fashion]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on March 10th, 2010
As a kid I had a pair of Barbie sneakers that lit up with every step. Sadly those aren't made in adult shoe sizes, so I'll have to settle for something like these slinky illuminated heels.
These shoes came from the minds of Rodarte, a two-sister design team, and are a beautiful example of how wearable tech can be integrated into our lives and into our three-inch heels.
Now can someone tell me where I can get a pair? [High Snobette via Fashion In Tech]
TiVo Posts $10.2 Million Loss, We Contemplate Dusting Off Our Funeral Garb [TiVo]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on March 9th, 2010
We've remarked in the past that TiVo is slowly dying and the latest numbers from the company aren't making us any more optimistic:
For the quarter ended Jan. 31, TiVo posted a loss of $10.2 million, or 9 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $3.6 million, or 4 cents a share.
Youch. Doesn't help that the company is struggling more and more to even find any new subscribers. [WSJ]

The Body of a Tank, the Brain of an Android [Android]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on March 7th, 2010
We've come across plenty of robots that were controlled by phones before, but usually those phones were being controlled by human hands. Some California hackers, however, are building bots that put Android to work for their robo-brainpower.
Their first creation, the TruckBot, uses a HTC G1 as a brain and has a chassis that they made for $30 in parts. It's not too advanced yet—it can use the phone's compass to head in a particular direction—but they're working on incorporating the bot more fully with the phone and the Android software. Some ideas they're kicking around that wouldn't be possible with a dinky Arduino brain: face and voice recognition and location awareness.
If you're interested in putting together a Cellbot of your own—can you even conceive of a cooler dock for your Android phone?—the team's development blog has some more information. The possibilities here are manifold; mad scientists, feel free to share your Android-bot schemes in the comments. [Wired]
