Despite its absolutely adorable appearance, this Android seems hell-bent on destruction, literally beating itself up, and eventually falling on its face. Built using the requisite Arduino, a trash can, some LEDs, and a slew of other components, this little guy was apparently created in three days on a budget just barely exceeding $100. You can see a video of the waste-bin bot hitting rock bottom at the source link below, but please refrain from laughing; Android alcoholism is a serious issue.

President Barack Obama used his weekly address to again call for “shared sacrifice” from both parties to solve the debt crisis, and said if the middle class have to face cuts, the wealthiest Americans should be asked to pay more. “The truth is, you can’t solve our deficit without cutting spending,” Obama said. “But you also can’t solve it without asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 16/07/2011 15:00 Number of articles : 3

Say it ain’t so — not only is a phone not delayed, it’s actually planning to come out earlier than its quoted launch window? This particular miracle is the exception much more than the rule, but Microsoft’s latest Windows Phone OS (nicknamed ” Mango ,”) might come out prior to the anticipated fall release. According to Nikkei , Fujitsu will offer the very first Mango device, a waterproof phone called the IS12T, on KDDI “as early as late next month.” The phone is to be sold for 30,000 – 40,000 yen ($378 – 505), a reasonable amount of coin for what will likely be a higher-end device. And — if it’s the same handset showcased at this week’s Worldwide Partner Conference — a pink version will be on sale. So, what’s more enticing: a Hello Kitty -flavored Windows Phone, or a Samsung Galaxy S II lookalike running Mango? It’s a tough call.
