A 2.5 Year-Old Uses an iPad for the First Time~



Telstar Logistics founder Todd Lappin’s 2.5-year-old daughter reviews the iPad.
"As you can see, after geeking out on my Sutro Tower homescreen, she took right to it — including figuring out how to enlarge some of her favorite iPhone-legacy apps to 2x to display full-size on the iPad screen. If you’re good at understanding kid-speak, you’ll also notice that she immediately saw its potential as a video-display device. She lamented the lack of a camera, and wondered about its potential for playing games~

On the downside, she had the same frustration as many adults, where touching the screen-edge with your thumb while holding the iPad blocks input to all home screen icons. Notice also that she was confused by the splash page for FirstWords Animals, her favorite spelling game: Because the start button looked like a graphic, rather than a conventional button, she couldn’t figure out how to start the game."

Bad Ideas: A Dancing Samurai Robot Server ~




Have you always envisioned a robotic samurai serving your last meal before chopping you to bits and/or burning the flesh from your bones? But I didn't order the slow-roasted death! You're losing your tip fast, mister~

Lapassarad Thanaphant, owner of the Hajime restaurant in Thailand, chose an odd waitstaff for her just-opened Japanese-themed eatery: robots. The robots work to deliver and clear food that customers order via a touchscreen...The robots also dance to entertain customers and, entertaining in itself, are dressed rather elaborately as samurai~

White Strawberries That Taste Like Pineapple~



Grown in glasshouses, pineberries start off green, gradually turning paler as they ripen. When the fruit is sweet and juicy enough to eat, the flesh is almost totally white but studded with red seeds - the reverse of the usual variety~

Discovered wild in South America and rescued from extinction by Dutch farmers...they are smaller than most commercially grown strawberries, measuring between 15 and 23mm across - slightly less than an inch. The pineberry is said to combine the shape and texture of a strawberry with a flavour and smell closer to that of a pineapple~
