We here at Techland have a love/hate relationship with machines. And by “hate” I mean sometimes we hyperbolize the thought of machines one day becoming our robotic masters.
Sometimes, though, machines are capable of doing wonderful, beautiful things, such as giving our furry friend in the above video a new set of legs to hop around …
Close your eyes and quietly repeat after me: “Om mani padme hum, om mani padme hum…” Feel anything unusual? You know, like a magnetic chill down your spine?

Remember when Apple announced the third-generation iPod Shuffle? Jobsie was like, “People don’t want buttons on their MP3 players anymore!” (I’m paraphrasing).
