When Good Robots Turn Bad!

LordM | 31 January, 2007 18:45

Talk about slacking off...

Isn't this a joy? A worker from a robotics facility gives the robotic arm from their office a spin... Literally.

Watch as his head is just a few centimeters away from being homemade salsa...

I welcome you, Hardwarezone readers, to the ride that I call...

The Risky Ride of Death!

Please, do not even try to do this to your idle robotic arm, I beg of you...

Good Greeting Gone Bad.

Happy Birthday (put name here)!

May you have more birthdays to come.

We love you!

Yes, everytime I go to a cake shop to buy a cake, this is what I ask them to write. Quite simple isn't it? All the person has to do is to get the piping and simply write the dedication down on top of the cake.

Of course, technology has a way of making things easier. In fact, there are even some bake shops that are starting to invest on "automated" machines that print your dedication and deliver in to your doorstep.

But, like any piece of equipment, there will come a time wherein things just get screwed up...

Take this cake for example....

Woman Wants A Wii, Holds Her Pee...

LordM | 17 January, 2007 14:35

If you were given given a chance to win something just by holding your pee, would you do it? Doctors all over the world have been telling us that if and when we feel like doing number 1 or 2,  we should immediately do. This is because if we forcefully hold it at bay, there is a great chance that the toxic wastes get absorbed in our body, causing sickness or even death...

Apprently, these people don't listen...

Child Passes Through Airport X-Ray Machine. Grandma Blames Alzheimers.

LordM | 27 December, 2006 17:44

 

 

From LATimes Website:

A woman going through security at Los Angeles International Airport put her month-old grandson into a plastic bin intended for carry-on items and slid it into an X-ray machine.

The early Saturday accident — bizarre but not unprecedented — caught airport workers by surprise, even though the security line was not busy at the time, officials said.

A screener watching the machine's monitor immediately noticed the outline of a baby and pulled the bin backward on the conveyor belt.

ASIMO's Demonstration Gone Bad

LordM | 12 December, 2006 09:32

I've always seen ASIMO at its finest: ASIMO can walk, talk, greet people, interact, and climb the stairs. Wait, did I just say ASIMO can climb the stairs? Watch the video (or fastforward it to around 55 seconds) and see the overly cocky ASIMO climb the stairs while looking at the audience, fall down, and just lie down on the floor until his "medics" come to the rescue.

Oh poor, poor ASIMO.

Tell me what you guys think. :)

Talk About Stupidity... Greedy Burglar Nabbed

LordM | 19 October, 2006 14:48

Yes. It's one thing to rob someone, but it's really another thing to get caught altogether.

Two brothers were trying to get some sleep when two people in ski masks broke in. The burglars yelled and asked for all their belongings: money, jewelry, and their cellphones. The brothers were too shocked to even fight back, making it way easier for the burglars to run off with their stuff.

After a while however, they were able to recognize the voice of one of the burglars as one of their friends who slept in their place a few weeks back.

What happens next is the real clincher to this story.

Man Kills A Child Over Video Game

LordM | 15 September, 2006 11:37

Sad to find out that people resort to violence just because of a video game...

In Philadephia, a 25-year old man has been charged with murder. The person he killed - his 17-month old daughter.

The reason: His daughter apparently pulled the cords of his gaming console, causing it to fall down. He was so upset and wanted "someone" to pay for all the troubles. Sooooo, he punched his daughter twice and slung his daughter over a chair.

All I can say is... What is happening?

According to NBC news: His wife said that she fell in love with a man who had never been violent before, and she wanted to know what would possess someone to kill a child.

Go Ahead. Throw Your Cellphone. We Know You Want To.

LordM | 29 August, 2006 12:50

Don't know what to do with those old, useless cellular phones? How about organizing a Mobile Phone Throwing Contest for you and your friends?

In a contest recently conducted in Savonlinna, Finland, participants were allowed to choose any cellphone they wish, and then throw it as far as they could.
