Year end bonus

Chinese media has been reporting employees' dissatisfaction with their year end bonuses in 2010. But chinadailyshow.com wrote about one Hong Kong actor who didn't want to disappoint his employees. He sent out "naughty" pics of himself to his employees in lieu of a cash bonus. So, for any of you who missed out on your checks, here is a little gift from me to you.

Robot suit for the disabled

Scientists in Japan released a new robot which could help disabled people lead more active lives. The Hybrid Assistive Limb(HAL) tracks electronic signals from the brain to muscles to help move parts of the body. Right now, the suit is available in models for one or two legs. We ordered the cheap version of the "HAL" just to see what the hype was all about.
