Robot to Help Baby Boomers at Old Age
	Baby boomers are now entering the age of retirement, which could trigger a crisis within the US medical system; however, robots like uBOT-5 may be used to reduce the impact, say researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. "For the first time, robots are safe enough and inexpensive enough to do meaningful work in a residential environment," said Rod Grupen, computer scientists at the University of Massa ...

Year Started Off on the Wrong Foot for eBay
	There are only three CEOs right now in Silicon Valley that have very high profiles because of the pioneering work that they have done with commercializing the Internet industry: Amazon.com’s Jeff Bezos, Yahoo! Inc.’s Jerry Yang and, last but not least, eBay’s Meg Whitman. Their ranks will unfortunately grow even thinner with Meg getting ready to step down from her position at the helm of her company, as the "Wall Street Journal" ... [read more >>]

Keira Wants to Quit Acting, Dreams of Huuuge Breasts!
	Keira Knightley is not one of the pleasantest persons on this planet and this doesn't come from me, but from the many who had the chance (or, should we call it bad luck?) of meeting her face to face. Aside from this, she is also considered very self-centered and self-involved; in short, she has the reputation of not being the kind of celebrity one would like to meet while passing down the street. The constant media pr ... [read more >>]
