<description><![CDATA[Microsoft may be sending its PC vendor partners early versions of the Windows 8 operating system.Citing anonymous sources, Microsoft enthusiast site WinRumors says that Hewlett-Packard, among other vendors, are currently receiving Milestone 3 build 7971.0.110324-1900 of Windows 8 through Microsoft's Connect testing system. CNET sister site ZDNet reported back in January that its own sources said Windows 8 was at the Milestone 2 mark at that time.Microsoft is working on Windows 8 asWindows 7 continues to perform extremely well at retail. The software giant announced earlier this year that Windows 7 is the fastest-selling operating system ever released, tallying over 300 million licenses sold through 2010.On the Windows 8 front, Microsoft has been relatively tight-lipped. However, the company did say back in October in a blog on its Dutch Web site that Windows 8 will be available in 2012. At the Consumer Electronics Show in January, Microsoft revealed that the next version of Windows would be capable of running on ARM architecture in addition to x86 architecture. Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments were specifically cited as Microsoft's ARM partners at the time.Beyond that, much of the speculation surrounding Windows 8 has come by way of leaks.Last summer, a group of slides labeled &quot;Microsoft Confidential&quot; hit the Web discussing some of the features that might be making their way to the next version of Windows. They included face recognition, faster boot-up times, and a focus on 3D capability.Those slides were followed by a report from BusinessInsider last month, citing its own sources who said that Microsoft wants to show offtablets running Windows 8 over the summer. A leaked &quot;tablet road map&quot; from Dell that surfaced last month, as well, indicated that the company was planning to release a Windows 8 tablet, codenamed &quot;Peju,&quot; in the first quarter of 2012.In an e-mailed statement to CNET, a Microsoft spokesperson said that the company is &quot;not commenting on future versions of Windows.&quot;Updated at 8:53 a.m. PT: to include Microsoft comment.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Telepresence robots are way cool, but way expensive. We've seen several platforms for these machines that let you remotely guide a robot around a distant location, with prices ranging from $15,000 for Anybots' QB system to $3,000 for the R.BOT 100. Well, Google's Johnny Chung Lee has a history of creating low-cost versions of very expensive devices, such as his  $14 steadycam, and a homemade electronic whiteboard that uses the Wii Remote. To keep in touch with his fiancee after moving to Mountain View, Calif., where Google's headquarters are located, Lee made his own telepresence robot for only $500. As the video explains, he took a $250 iRobot Create and a similarly priced Netbook, linked them with a few hardware and software modifications, and now communicates through Skype and the robot. One modification is a software package written with Visual Studio Express 2010 that he uses to remotely drive the iRobot Create. He also changed the robot's docking station so it can charge both the robot and netbook at once. All the details are available on his Procrastineering site. Let's hope this is a sign that telepresence robots will get cheaper and cheaper. (Via Hack a Day) <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
