Black OX Robot Is Big on the Bad, Small on the Big

We're not discriminant enough in our miniature robot collecting to fully appreciate this Black OX robot from the series Gigantor, but even at our half appreciation it's still pretty incredible. Featuring 22 joints, LEDs, gyro sensors and accelerometer, Black OX only stands 17 inches tall, but he'll still manage to hold your eyes open while having his way with your wife/garbage disposal. The price is only $7,450 to score one of 30 that will be produced. Hit the link to check out many videos capturing the robot in motion. [Vstone via Crunchgear]

The tiny but technologically advanced Mediterranean island nation of Genes is ruled by three teenage princesses: the sensible elder Krone, reserved technical genius Kana, and busty and brassy Nene. When the giant robot Big Mighty comes to their island looking to engage in battle a giant robot its owner has heard that Genes is developing, the sisters spring into action. While Krone directs things from the command center with the help of her Rose Knight Brigade, Nene assaults the robot physically with her powered suit, but it takes Kana reluctantly bringing out her ultra-powerful giant robot, soon named Junerin, to deal with the marauder.

UK Band Admits It's 'Utterly Dependent' On Piracy

At some point, it won't make sense to post these sorts of examples any more because it will just be common sense that bands can and do benefit from so-called "piracy," but every time we post one of these stories, we get people complaining that this couldn't possibly work for others. When a band is big, then it will never work for small artists. When they're small, it'll never work for big artists. Once we even had a commenter complain that it might work for big artists or small artists -- but it was the all important artists in the middle that it would never work for.

New "Sunglasses" Help Astronomers See Light Near Black Holes

Although we can't actually see a black hole, we can see the black hole's effect on nearby matter. But even that is difficult because infrared light from clouds of dust and gas usually pollutes the view. But astronomers have found a way to get a clean view of the disks surrounding black holes by using a polarizing filter in the infrared. This technique works in particular when the region immediately surrounding the black hole emits a small amount of scattered light. Since scattered light is polarized, astronomers can use a filter that works like polarized sunglasses on large telescopes to detect this small amount of scattered light and measure it with unprecedented accuracy. Scientists have theorized these luminous disks existed around black holes, but until now have not been able to observe them.

Small Businesses Forge Big Footprint Online

Small businesses--of which there are nearly twenty-five million in the United States--form the backbone of the American economy. As more and more consumers turn to the Internet to find products and services, small business owners are faced with the challenge of making their presence known in the online marketplace.

What Small Business Owners Need to Know About 401(k)s

Running a small business can be a life-consuming process, so sometimes small-business owners miss the forest for the trees. Maybe that's why only about 16 percent of businesses with fewer than 50 employees in the United States have 401(k) plans. Small-business owners are so focused on developing their businesses that some do not realize that those assets can grow at a much faster rate for their retirement under the right plan. An October survey by ING DIRECT's ShareBuilder401k, which designs 401(k) plans for small businesses, found that "not enough employees" was the top reason cited by small-business owners as to why they do not have a 401(k) plan. That's despite the fact that even sole proprietorships with no other employees can have 401(k)s.

The Saddest Robot Ever Made?

If you were expecting a robot that could emote "sad"...I'm sorry, that's not what this is. No, this isn't a robot that can cry either (we already have those creepy baby dolls for that). No, instead, this is just sad in the "sorry-excuse-for-a-robot" kind of way. If you've ever asked yourself what would happen if a Segway just couldn't stay upright, well you're in luck...watch the video here for a balancing robot that...well...doesn't really balance all too well. And in closing, I must apologize to all other robots for referring to this disaster as a robot.

Online fraud confusion damaging small business' credibility with customers

The tendency of small business to hold others responsible flies in the face of the fact that consumers associate bad experiences on a site directly with the merchant, regardless of fault. This reveals a worrying disconnect between the retailer's perceptions and their customers' expectations. Additional PayPoint.net research also shows that consumers are willing to vote with their feet: just 3 per cent of online shoppers would trust a small online business with their money, preferring to shop with larger online brands. Furthermore, 81 per cent of consumers are suspicious of the security of small, unknown companies demonstrating that small online retailers have more, not less to prove.
