There’s nothing more embarrassing than trying to dock with your cosmonaut compatriots only to find that his port was made in metric, yours was crafted with the finest in ye olde imperial units. Such faux pas can now be safely avoided in space thanks to the newly agreed upon International Docking System Standard, or IDSS. It’s an androgynous system that allows for the same portal design to be used on both ships and docking stations, meaning craft can pair up with stations, ships with ships, and any other groovy coupling you can think of. The standard was finalized last month and just released to the world, but we’ve managed to find stunning footage of an early prototype from 1973. That’s embedded below for your scientific edification.

It’s only rumor for now, but Peter Kafka over at All Things D has sources telling him that the ABC/NBC/FOX-owned Hulu Plus video site is looking to cut its $9.95 per month subscription fee in halfish to $4.95, perhaps in a bid to increase subscriber count. If so that would drop it well below the $8.95 per month fee paid by Netflix subscribers. A price drop certainly wouldn’t surprise us knowing that content owners are still experimenting with pricing in the brave new world we call the internet. Hulu Plus dropping to $4.95 per month?

If you’re a fan of videos featuring commercial actors mugging for the camera and jumping around in a semi-comical manner, you are seriously in luck. That’s right, it looks like Ballmer and Co.’s $500 million marketing blitz has resulted in some totally spasmodic TV spots for the Kinect . As befits a technology that emphasizes movement over the controller itself, there is very little actual hardware shown — but boy, do those kids look like they’re having fun! See for yourself after the break.
