<description><![CDATA[In case there were any doubts about the city of Cupertino, Calif., being interested in Apple building its campus reboot there, city Mayor Gilbert Wong has put those fears to rest.&quot;Cupertino is ready for this,&quot; Wong said in a press conference held in Cupertino's City Hall lobby yesterday (video below). Wong followed up a reporter's question later on in the press conference, saying that there's &quot;no chance we're saying no.&quot;Apple's 'spaceship'-like campus reboot (images) Apple's plans to build a new campus were detailed earlier this week by CEO Steve Jobs, who pitched the Cupertino City Council on constructing a building that would house 12,000 of the company's employees.Apple's current Cupertino headquarters can only hold 2,800 employees, which has forced the company to fan out across other buildings throughout the city. Apple owns a 92-acre plot of land it purchased from Hewlett-Packard. There, the company intends to build its circular complex, which Jobs likened to a spaceship.The project still has a ways to go before it's approved and construction begins. In the press conference, Wong noted that the project will be reviewed just like any other building, including a study on various environmental impacts. As part of the building, Apple has pledged to increase the number of trees on the lot by 60 percent, as well as increasing other landscaping by 350 percent. Following a successful approval next year, Wong said Apple can begin submitting building permits to later break ground on the project, with an estimated completion date of 2015.&quot;It is a major project. It's going to look like something similar to like the Pentagon. And this is something that's not going to be built overnight, but we're ready to accommodate,&quot; Wong said.  , <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Agreed, human, I will operate the pod bay doors. (Credit:NASA)Robotkind got NASA to send one of their own into space today--an unassuming humanoid &quot;robot butler&quot; that will be in the perfect spot to destroy Earth from orbit. Sporting a terrifying mask, touting dumbbells, and tipping the scales at 330 pounds, Robonaut 2 has convinced just about everyone that despite its appearance it's not evil incarnate. NASA, GM unveil Robonaut 2 (photos) Before the macho droid lifted off in the Space Shuttle Discovery on the orbiter's final mission today at 1:53 p.m. PT, it tweeted innocently, &quot;Excited to be a part of our nation's current &amp; future space technology. Investments are critical to both our future in space and life on Earth.&quot; Notice how it didn't say &quot;humanity's future.&quot; That's a dead giveaway. It's clearly referring to the Robopocalypse (and I'm not talking about the forthcoming novel by Daniel Wilson). It's no surprise that Robonaut 2, or R2, has pretty vague job aboard the International Space Station. The robot co-developed by General Motors is supposed to help the crew--and interact with it. It will be set up for certain tasks, handle tools and flip switches, working autonomously or by remote control.From its stationary platform, R2 will act as more of a technology demonstrator than a useful addition to the station, where it will live permanently. NASA wants to upgrade it in the future so it can work outside the ISS. The 3-foot-tall robot is constructed of steel and aluminum, and can hoist 20-pound loads in each of its 2-foot, 8-inch arms. Equipped with more than 350 sensors, it's controlled by 38 PowerPC processors and has four cameras and one infrared camera in its head. And all that cost $2.5 million Didn't the Death Star cost that much Clearly, R2's got some hidden technology, like planet-vaporizing laser eyes, under that slick visor. Nothing good will come of this, I tell ya. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
