Robocup 2008 Droids Cooperate Like Real Soccer Team, With Fewer Hissy Fits

Miniature humanoid robots are getting more impressive by the day: this video shows the Darmstadt Dribblers team in action in the recent 2008 Robocup. And if you notice, they're really playing like proper autonomous soccer teams. It's the first year that three-on-three playing action has happened, and thus required some nifty role negotiation and info exchange over Wi-Fi. That's in addition to avoiding obstacles, finding the ball visually and trying to score goals. Okay, so that opposing team needs a better goalie, but at least watching this robotic version of the beautiful game means you get to see less diving and hissy fits at the referee. Impressive stuff, no? [YouTube.—Thanks Stefan]

Is eBay Expanding Their Finding 2.0 in the U.S.?

This am, I logged into my eBay (EBAY) account (buying focused account) and found that I had been opted into the 'new search experience'. This is Finding 2.0, which is based on the Magellan search engine. (The engine behind eBay Express). This is the engine that has been in the playground for a while, so nothing new to report other than my guess is that after rolling this out in the UK and other countries, they are now starting to turn the dial on in the USA. At eBay Live, I heard they had 10% of users in the new experience, so my guess is they have bumped that up to 20-40% at this point.
