Sony buys Gracenote for $260m
Filed under: Portable AudioYou remember Gracenote, right?

Well, they're laughing all the way to the bank once again: Sony just bought 'em up for $260m, with the deal set to close in late May.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Walking Assist Device from Honda
Honda not only makes great cars, they are also big on robotics. Honda has been working on a walking assist device since the end of the last decade and will parade it at this coming weekend in Osaka at the International Trade Fair on Barrier Free Equipments & Rehabilitation for the Elderly and the Disabled. Visitors are welcome to give it a try, and it apparently uses data obtained from hip angle sensors, where the control CPU will communicate with the flat brushless motors and provide the right amount of assistance for those who want to lengthen their strides. It weighs a mere 6.2lbs and is wrapped around the waist and thigh. Assuming you take 4.5km/h strolls, the battery life ought to last for two hours. Hopefully the final version will be affordable enough for the layman to purchase.Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones

Filed under: GamingAfter hitting delays already, we can't say that this was the PlayStation Home press release we've been expecting.
