To save on education expenses for the future, the South Korean government has looked into robots to teach the kids.  The robots speak english thanks to the people controlling behind them: outsourced Filipinos.  The robots face reaction is based on the controller’s facial reaction.  According to DigitalTrends, the project cost the government $1.37 million and each robot costs $8,750.

The popular rental company, Netflix, announced today that they will be offerring a streaming ONLY service for $7.99.  The service will let you watch streaming movies on your pc, tv (with a Netflix Box) and console (PS3, WII, Xbox 360).  You can watch hi def movies with the service but that depends how fast your internet connection is.  I used to have DSL at 1.5 mbps and that gave me “standard” quality.  I swithched to cable and the speed is 10mbps, I get “X-high” to high def titles, which is the best.

I don’t know who comes up with these ideas but this one is pretty nifty.  It’s a shirt with a James Bond style design and a real camera that you can use.  Yes, it’s pointless, because phones have better cams than this.  But this is good when you feel like people are up to no good and you want to spy them.  A better one would be a shirt with a camcorder.  Then you can record your co-workers gossiping about your boss and black mailing them.
