This is not simply an end to imperialism (new or old), but quite possibly the beginning of a probably long decline in the West’s primacy in industry, technology and scientific innovation.

It’s been a few years since we checked in with Actroid , a bot we first saw way back in 2005 . What you’re looking at above is Actroid-F, Kokoro Co. Ltd. and ATR ‘s latest iteration of the creepy humanoid robot that can mime the operator’s facial expressions and head movements with unbelievable (but not quite human) accuracy.

For its part, Garmin’s official blog says that it will be expanding its mobile application handset development by offering navigation and other applications through “certain consumer application stores.” According to DigiTimes , that means Apple’s iTunes App Store and RIM’s App World.
