The last we heard from the gang at TORC their tech was being used to snag third place in the DARPA Urban Challenge , and now Engineering TV has a couple programs highlighting some of the company’s more portable technology. Compared to other control units, WaySight is relatively small (under three pounds), and can be used to sight the robot either by selecting GPS waypoints via laser range finder in real time, or — if the GPS is unavailable — by sighting the robot and then the waypoint in relation to it. If the operator doesn’t find any of that appealing, the unit can be used to steer the robot using the unit’s built in accelerometer. The unit has a range of up to 400 meters. The AutoNav-Mini, which is installed on the robot, features a GPS unit, low level obstacle avoidance and detection sensors, laser range finder, radar, and more. This technology has all sorts of practical and legitimate uses, for sure — but none so satisfying as the fun we’d have chasing our little sister around the living room with it. Hit the read links for all sorts of crazy videos.

The past few days have seen the alleged leaks of a couple batches of Windows Mobile 7 screenshots, suggesting Microsoft’s already hard at work on the successor to 6.5 — something we’ve heard in the past, and given the state of 6.x, a rumor that isn’t difficult to believe. To say the leaks look sketchy, though, would be an understatement; most prominently, none of them match, with different styling elements applied to every capture. Best case, we figure these are mockups — not functional shots from an actual device or an emulator, but early, off-the-cuff stabs at a design language from a usability expert’s late-night Illustrator session somewhere deep within Redmond. We like some of what we’re seeing — there are definitely at least a few elements here that look thoroughly modern — but if there’s any basis in reality to these, we’re worried about the ill-conceived idea of putting battery strength and volume (or signal strength, depending on the shot) at the bottom of the display. Needless to say, there are very good reasons that kind of information gets consolidated to the top, not the least of which is that your thumbs aren’t transparent. At least ours aren’t, and if yours are, you should probably get that looked at.

He was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 14 years./ppThe victim’s family applauded as the verdict was delivered on the second day of the jury’s deliberations./ppThe court had heard that Fahri went berserk at the Three Cooks bakery in Lee, south-east London, and hurled an oven dish at Mizen, 16, who was a customer in the shop. It broke against his chin and a 4cm (1.5in) shard of glass from the dish penetrated his neck, severing blood vessels./ppCrispin Aylett QC, prosecuting, said: “A trivial incident, brought about by the defendant’s rudeness, escalated into something horrific.”/ppJimmy’s brother Harry saw Fahri pick up the dish and throw it. In court, he said: “I turned round and saw blood. There was lots of blood. It was thrown hard.”/ppThe row had started when Fahri told Jimmy to “get out of the way” when he turned and found the brothers behind him at the shop. Jimmy told Fahri that if he said “please” he would step aside./ppBut according to Harry Mizen: “Jake became very aggressive. He stood in front of Jimmy, right in front of his face.”/ppHarry had tried to calm the situation down but Fahri responded by poking a car key in his face./ppBakery staff asked Fahri to leave and he told the brothers “he was going to wait for us outside the shop because he wanted to give us a slap”, said Harry./ppHe rang their older brother, Tommy, on his mobile, and Fahri then returned to the shop, demanding to know who he had been calling./ppHe picked up two plastic bottles of drink and started hitting Jimmy./ppThe brothers cornered Fahri and started punching him as they pushed him across the shop, smashing a glass cake display, before bundling Fahri outside./ppBut eager not to lose face, Fahri returned to the shop, kicking through a glass panel in the door as he made his way inside./ppHe had picked up the advertising sign outside and rushed at the two brothers while holding it./ppIt was when Jimmy grabbed it and Fahri feared he would take it from him, that Fahri grabbed the dish of sausages from a hot food display./ppFahri told the court he did not mean to do serious harm. He said: “I did not think it would break, let alone hit him in the face. I literally picked it up and slung it in two seconds.”/ppThe court heard that the whole incident lasted more no more than three minutes./pdiv class=”related” style=”float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;”ullia href=”http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/ukcrime”Crime/a/li/ul/divdiv class=”terms”a href=”http://www.guardian.co.uk”guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our a href=”http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html”Terms Conditions/a | a href=”http://www.guardian.co.uk/help/feeds”More Feeds/a/divp style=”clear:both” / pa href=”http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/coFyZaDfwtdpjqhrO91-e8R_yao/a”img src=”http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/coFyZaDfwtdpjqhrO91-e8R_yao/i” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/a/p
