LG was quick to introduce Wii-style motion controls and pointing to its smart TV controllers, but its new Magic Remote also adds voice recognition, allowing you to enter search terms without ever contemplating the alphabet.

It’s been just over a year since we first heard about Orbotix’s little smartphone-controlled cue ball named Sphero, and since that time, we’ve seen a couple of pre-production units strut their stuff.

Automotive companies like Mitsubishi Electric have a distinctly different idea about our auto future, one where we’ll all be driving in a 1980s-by-way-of-2011 Tron roadster with seatback-embedded (glasses-free) 3D TVs and a big ‘ol curved rear [...]
Because you can’t just build a McDonalds branch on a battlefield, a relatively new food source for the US Army has recently come to the public’s attention thanks to a short video clip from the clever chaps over at the BBC.
