Baby Bots on the rise in Japan

The baby bots name is yotaro and he was made to help encourage people to reproduce more children and, help the declining population in Japan. Yotaro cries, laughs and kicks when you tickle him. He sneezes and his nose runs. When he Is upset his rattles calms him down.


The inventors hopes that Yotaro can help Japan's fallen birth rate, which is at it's lowest in the world.

“A robot can't be human but it's great if this robot triggers human emotions, so humans want to have their own baby,” said Hiroki Kunimura, the project leader for the Yotaro robot.

Kunimura and his university of Tsukuba team originally built the robotic baby because they wanted to create a robot that can cross national and cultural lines. Since a baby doesn't have any language skills yet, they chose to build as robotic infant.

The university of Tsukuba students began showing off Yotaro at robot competitions, and were surprised by the reactions from the public and the media. “People asked us if this baby robot was created to tackle the low birth rate in Japan,” said Kunimura, who described himself as Yotaro's daddy.

The low birth rate wasn't the initial concept,but when Kunimura started seeing how the public touched and reacted to Yotaro, he saw the possibilities of a robotic solution to a social crisis.

California Police officer busted for texting.

A California police officer was caught sending sexy messages through his work phone.


The police department gave out work phones for the officer's to use, and I guess all he noticed was free. Just like every other dumb ass in the world he used his work phone for personal use, Sending out steamy texts over exceeding his texting limits. When the department went to investigate why he kept going over his limits on a monthly basis, they looked through his records to find out why.

The officer then goes on to sue is department, saying that they had violated his 4th amendment right.

When the department audited his records they claim they tried not to look at his off duty texts but, “some how” saw them anyway. The department says that it was hard to separate through all the work and personal messages.

This case went through two federal courts before they took it to the supreme courts.

Hmmm, I guess he forgot that the work place has the right to check any and all records of their own property. I also I figure why not just look at his time sheet and then look for those times on the phone.

Why didn't he just get a different phone for his personal conversations?


What do you think....

Did they have the right to look through his phone records?

Drake's free South seaport show canceled.

Tuesday was the release of Drake's debut album, so he figured Tuesday night he'll play a free show for his fans. Before Drake could even take the stage, a riot broke out and that was the end of that.


Due to a couple of Ignorant people, Drake's fans missed out on a good moment. With the way this kid is taking off, they might not ever get the chance to be that close to him for free again.

Since last year this kid has been the talk around the hip-hop community. He seems to pass right pass his successors to his own platform. Which at first, I wasn't even sure about this kid and his future in Rap. But, with some of the heavy hip-hop heads lending support, some of his music is turning out to be alright.

For me personally I am a little bit more old school. when it was time for my rappers to free style it came from the top of their heads, right there on the spot. Now a days if you ask these young kids to freestyle, they immediately run to their black Berries or Ipods, for what they had written.

Free styling is not about rapping to just any beat. It's a great kill and art form to play around with words, how well you use them and to be able spit them at any given moment.
But, with enough time and a little more experience Drake will probably get the hang of things, and will be around for years to come.

Stop Snaking Around

The best I've seen all week.

Salma Hayek was doing an interview for Extra with her co stars Maria Bello and Maya Rudolph for their latest movie Grown ups, when they had an unexpected visitor arrive on set.



It was some kind of snake but, from Salma’s reaction I can imagine how big that sucker was. I couldn’t help but to laugh, and all at the same time feel bad for her. Once she climbed the director’s chair in her stiletto heels it was over lol. Who can blame her? I know I can’t!  I am just as terrified of snakes, and probably would have had the same if not worst reaction lol.
It was so cute once she started crying and everyone realized how scared she truly was. At the end of her horrifying moment she had to be carried off of set.


I guess Salma needs a body guard just for her pesty fans.

Busted

Suzanne Corona is being charged with adultery which is rarely used to convict someone on.

In these days the word adultery is usually used with divorce cases and religion groups. Suzanne Corona was charged with adultery after being caught in a public park in upstate New York, with a half naked man who was not her husband. Corona is also charged with her partner in crime with lewdness, but it's this adultery charge that is giving her national attention. If she is found guilty she will be the fifth person in her state, and the thirteenth person in the United States to be convicted of   this crime since 1972.

Wednesday she appeared in court supported by her husband Joesph as the judge red through her charges as she pleaded not guilty. Her partner in crime Justin Amend also pleaded not guilty.

After court Suzanne told reporters “his genitals were exposed perhaps by the zipper, but that's it. You could have been a passerby and not have known there was anything going on”, Corona said.

As for her husband, he continues to support her, ' I've got forty something years to spend with my wife,” he said. “I'm not gonna throw it out over one incident”.

*The only thing …. OK, there are multiple things wrong here.

1; Why would you have sex on a picnic table, unless it was dark? For that matter you're better off in the car, it's less chances of being caught...  (Umm, not like I would know Mom)

2; We'll perhaps , since you just admitted to doing something by saying “his genitals were exposed perhaps by zipper, but that's it”. (Nice one).

3; So much for a secrete affair ! Your cover is blown, because you chose to have sex in a public park, and now the whole world knows.

I am not going to act like i'm some stuffy person with my nose in the air. I believe when it comes to relationships, as long as it's not harmful to anyone, to each is their own....

    It's just sometimes people do such crazy things, we can'thelp ourselves to talk about it lol.
