NTT DoCoMo recently launched the Samsung Galaxy S in the Japanese market and now we’ve come to discover that it’s chosen a very forceful personality to represent the product to its discerning audience. Darth ” roundabound ” Vader has been starring in the carrier’s latest round of “always with you” ads, wherein he serves as a (sort of) human representation of the phone, thus lending some anthropomorphic qualities to the cold slab of technology awaiting you in the shops. This whole outlandish idea really shouldn’t work, but somehow it does — we want a little Vader in our lives too now. Video after the break.

How much fun can you really have with an 8×8 pixel array? Quite a lot, as evidenced by this here arcade project. One Bomber Punk has managed to created a full-on arcade enclosure for a Meggy Jr. game console , and he even took the time to swap in coin-op buttons and a joystick for control. The whole thing took around a month to build (part-time, of course), and considering that he has managed to load up an absurdly pixelated version of Donkey Kong, we’d say it was definitely worthwhile. Head on past the break for a visual explanation.

It may just be an elaborate stunt to promote batteries, but it’s hard not to get a little caught up in Evolta’s 500-kilometer trek from Tokyo to Kyoto, which finally came to an end this week after two months on the road — ahead of schedule, no less. Aided by a team of “Evolta Sisters,” the pint-sized robot hauled a dozen AA Evolta batteries in a cart the whole way, and guided itself by following an infrared signal from a device pushed in front of it — a few other ground rules also allowed it to be carried up stairs, and the bot didn’t walk at night or in the rain. Even still, 500 kilometers is 500 kilometers (or 317 miles, if you prefer), and that’s a long way for any robot to walk. Head on past the break for a video recounting some of the journey.
