  • "This could be the solution to the out-of-control costs of F1 racing.  It might also bring some competitiveness back to what has become the most boring of auto racing.  "

  • "What I would have given for a scientific calculator as an engineering undergrad in 1970!  I just hated doing all the physics lab calculations on my slide rule.  Sometimes I just turned in my reports with "-15 pts - no error analysis" written on them.  Somehow, I made it all the way through and completed my Ph.D. in applied physics without a computer!  We were stuck in the past and my x-ray diffraction data came out on teletype machine on a machine that may have been built sometime after WWII.  My older brother still has his HP-35 from its initial release.  Where he got the money at the time is still a mystery.  I'll have to ask.  I've got my HP-15C from the '80s when I spent a few years at HP Labs.  Please excuse my ramblings.  As a retired physicist, I don't really have any business on this web sight, but I just love to see all these designs and products.  And yes, the HP designs are rather technocentric and inelegant. "

  • "After watching the video and perusing the company website, there are many more questions than answers.  I would have fired the robot on the basis of its performance.  It never went anywhere near the sink, did not clean any hand touch surfaces (door handles, grab bars, etc.), did not empty the trash, and it vacuumed the floors after a cursory splash of some liquid.  "

  • "This is one of the saddest videos I've seen.   Get a Bialetti or an Alessi.  I'm still using my 30 year-old Alessi every day.  So many things wrong with this video, I don't know where to start."

  • "I fully support this transition to drones.  Last night the air quality over much of the SF Bay Area rose to near unhealthy levels after around 8pm and started to fall again after 11pm.  It could have been a coincidence.  The noise in our neighborhood was disturbing.  As far as entertainment value (more show and less noise) , most fireworks in our area don't hold a candle to those in Japan.  "
