As the scale of the disaster caused by the explosion at an oil rig off the coast of Louisiana became more apparent last week, right-wing radio talker Rush Limbaugh unleashed a conspiracy theory suggesting that someone intentionally blew up the rig in order to “head off more oil drilling”…

For the first time, a robot presided over a wedding ceremony.
Both the bride and groom work in robotics, so it was only fitting that a robot bring them together.

Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro unveiled today his latest creation: a female android called Geminoid F. The new robot, a copy of a woman in her 20s with long dark hair, can laugh, smile, and exhibit other facial expressions more naturally than Ishiguro’s previous androids.

Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University, is famous for creating a robot replica of himself, the Geminoid HI-1, a teleoperated android that he controls remotely. The new Geminoid F (“F” stands for female) is also designed to be remote controlled by an operator.

In a press conference in Osaka, Ishiguro demonstrated how the android could mimic the facial expressions of the woman as she sat in front of a computer with cameras and face-tracking software.

After months of planning and testing, the Internet’s No. 1 video-sharing site, YouTube, launched a new look and received mixed reviews.

The redesign eliminates one of the chief irritants to tubesters: clutter.

“We heard from users that there are a lot of unnecessary features and clutter that could be cleaned up,” YouTube spokesperson Chris Dale told TechNewsWorld.

YouTube’s founders were well-aware of infringing material on their website — and its potential to drive growth, newly released court records show. But U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton will have to decide how specific the founders’ knowledge of the infringing content was to determine if the site broke the law.

“Viacom is arguing that YouTube did have knowledge of infringement,” says Ben Sheffner, a copyright lawyer and blogger. “The big legal question is how specific that knowledge must be in order to lose the DMCA safe harbor.”

The new disclosures are part of a court-ordered data dump after both Viacom (VIA) and YouTube asked the judge for summary judgment in its favor. As lawyers and industry-watchers comb the filings, there’s an increasing sense that YouTube may be found liable for copyright infringement thanks to damaging emails unearthed through the discovery process.
