Notice when all three robots slow down at the same time in the video?
That must be when the Vista computer controlling them decided to reindex the drive under Windows Media Center.
I think its funny that the charger example in this article is a micro-usb unit with a fixed cable at the charger end.
If standardization and waste minimization is the goal, all the chargers should have a USB-A socket connector, so you could use the charger for more than micro-usb phones, and your cable for the phone would double as a computer interface.
Well, the real problem is that unless you have a South facing roof in Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, or Texas (for the US), any photovoltaic array will consume more energy to manufacture, install, and maintain than it will ever produce.
The commenter from Germany is delusional if he thinks PV arrays in Northern Europe are "green".

This is why only heavily subsidized PV power from home systems make any economic sense.
They make no environmental sense.

The most efficient sunlight to energy systems are thermal, and they also must be placed in Southwestern deserts to become significant net energy producers. Another advantage to large solar thermal systems is that they can both store the heat for short periods, and use natural gas to produce energy at night and during cloudy days. This eliminates the inherent problem with PV systems which require 100% alternative standby power to overcome the dark.
So if you have two players in a room, they can both see the other in their Gamegun screens, and shoot each other.
He better get a good patent lawyer.
Oh, and if the Fuji software supports it, I'll scan my old Nimslo 3D negatives and put them on this thing too.
I had a Nimslo 3D camera back in the mid '80's.
Stopped using it not because of the print quality or cost, but because the stupid Nimslo company would often take 3 or 4 months to process a roll of film into lenticular prints.
I pulled out an old album of the prints recently, and it was magical.
Seeing things frozen in time in 3D is hard to describe.
I had shots taken of my old work research project, and I spent hours looking at them.
The detail and amount of information you get from the spatial representation is far beyond what you get from still 2D photos or even video.

I can't wait for this new camera and the photo frame which goes with it.
Screw the sending out the prints part, if the digital 3D lenticular system is any good, I'll just use that to view the shots.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
