Japan And The U.S. Are Going To Have An Actual Giant Robot Battle

Your glorious anime fantasies are coming true.

Japanese robot-maker Suidobashi Heavy Industry released a video on YouTube Sunday formally accepting a duel from U.S.-based MegaBots. The two companies have both created "giant fighting robots" that will apparently clash in combat at some undetermined point in the future.

The robots are some 15 feet tall, piloted by actual human beings and capable of launching massive paintballs. MegaBots is hoping its "Mark II," a 12,000-pound behemoth, could beat Suidobashi's "Kuratas" robot, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds.

They're Calling It The World's Most Deadliest Bullet, And Here's How It Works

Well it looks like you can all go home, bullet makers, because G2 Research has just made the 9mm R.I.P. Cartridge --  also known as, the last round you'll ever need. The R.I.P, or 'Radically Invasive Projectile' is designed to maximize the dissipation of energy, creating a high level of accuracy. The R.I.P. is still undergoing multiple testing, but after watching this video, the R.I.P. can be classified as nothing short of terrifying.

Project Soli, Futuristic New Google Project, Would Let You Control Devices Without Touching Them

You can talk to them and wear them, but in a not-too-distant future, you may not even have to touch your devices.

A new endeavor from Google's Advanced Technology and Projects sector hopes to revolutionize how we interact with technology. Called Project Soli, the new venture introduced by the lab on Friday uses radar to detect hand movements and finger "micromotions" to control everything from the volume controls on a stereo to a device's on-off switch, Business Insider reported.

The radar sensor is smaller than a fingernail, and can be embedded in virtually anything.

"The radar has properties which no other technology has," Ivan Poupyrev, the founder of Project Soli, said in an introductory video. "It can work through materials, it can be embedded into objects, it allows us to track really precise motions, and what is most exciting about it is that you can shrink the entire radar and put it in a tiny chip."

A vintage Apple I computer, one of only about 200 first-generation desktop computers built by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne in 1976, can fetch six figures.

Assuming, that is, you know you have one in your possession.

You can crash someone's iPhone with a mere text message.

A nasty computer bug in Apple's iOS allows anyone who sends an iPhone a certain text message to shut it down.The worst part? You don't even need to open the text message. Your device just needs to receive it.That means anyone can pull off this prank -- and anyone whose mobile number is known by someone else is susceptible.

Lenovo's projector phone beams a touchscreen onto any surface

Smartphones with built-in projectors -- well, just the two from Samsung, really -- haven't exactly been a huge hit so far, but Lenovo thinks it's finally got the right use case for this combination: beaming a touchscreen or virtual keyboard onto your desk. Announced at the Lenovo Tech World conference today is the Smart Cast, the world's first smartphone with an integrated focus-free laser projector, as opposed to the DLP tech on existing pico projectors. In addition to the usual wall projection mode, there's a "surface mode" that requires twisting the projector cap at the top (to enable reflection), propping up the phone with its kickstand, and then you'll have a projected touchscreen -- be it a virtual piano, a virtual keyboard or even Fruit Ninja -- right in front of you. Alas, that's all the info we've got so far. Until we get to see the real thing, you can check out the demo video after the break to stay entertained.
