Get ready for some robot talk this time around with guest Dr. Dennis Hong. He has a lot to say about what he thinks the future holds for robots and their utility for us. Dr. Hong shows some footage of some of the prototypes he is working on, and he also brings in some retired soccer robots at the end to show them off in person.
Rick Karr is back again, and his topic here is net neutrality. The segment is quite brief, but he does interview a prominent member of the Songwriters Guild of America who is arguing for net neutrality. A fun KIN parody video from Paul leads into the roundtable.
The roundtable segment features Ryan Block from gdgt and the discussion kicks-off with Microsoft’s KIN lineup. The guys then move on to talk about the iPad. The Dell leaks from last week get some time before the group talks about the Apple/Gizmodo leak. Everyone is baffled by the idea that it could have been a controlled leak by Apple.
The show ends with a giveaway of a $7000+ ATI Eyefinity rig.
Greetings humans! The Engadget Show is back in a big way with this latest episode! Josh sits down with the brilliant roboticist Dr. Dennis Hong to chat about his supremely cool yet surprisingly terrifying ‘bots, and then take a look at a few models which the professor brought along with him. Correspondent Rick Karr is back to give us the skinny on why the songwriting industry would like net neutrality to be a little less neutral, and Engadget editor emeritus and GDGT founder Ryan Block joins Josh, Paul, and Ross Miller on the roundtable to delve deep into all things newsworthy in tech. We also got to play with the ATI Eyefinity, one of the craziest gaming rigs you’ll ever see… and then give it away to one lucky audience member! All that, and music from Neil Voss and visuals from NO CARRIER. Okay that’s enough reading… time to watch!
