Hotel Sky is a brand-new 28-floor hotel in Cape Town – with AI robot staff and thrill ride, starting from R795 ($54) per room

The 535-room hotel has Artificially Intelligent robot staff and a restaurant on the 26th floor. The vertical object on top is a 30-metre thrill ride that takes you up on a chair lift, giving you a bird’s eye view of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Rooms start at R795 with breakfast included.

Business idea: #prosthetics for people with biosynthetic aspirations. I.e. instead of a leg that is made to look like the real deal (and unavoidably looks nothing like it), you have a see through leg with the full C-3PO (naked) thing visible inside. But better! More hi-tech! Can build upgrades and add-ons to further pimp it up later and to make even more golds.
Free to a good home :)

Ahoy folks,

I’m an just an #undergraduate #student of #physics, trying to set myself up to flirt with #astrophysics, with a weakness for and in #blackholes, though occassionaly ogling at her sister, #cosmology, but again pulled back to stare at #quasars through only my minds eye. Did I mention that I am #newhere? If not then, I should also mention that #instrumentation and #electronics too share alarge bit of my metaphorical heart, and I just love #interfacing; what's better, than to connect physical reality to a beast a.k.a a #computer? Well #micro-controllers? I just started using an #arduino, actually an #arduinouno ( #arduinounor3 ), currently learning programing and using it for small, if not infinitesimally small, if you can call them that is, #electronicsprojects; I will soon push myself to use an #expeyes. Yeah, #microcontrollers interest me, but, as much as do #microprocessors, #8085 being one, with which I've played a little, though only through simulations. I needn't shy away from stating that I love #programing, having some knowledge in #C, #C++, #java, a little bit of #fortran. I'm learning to #code or #script, whichever way you like, #python, rather it's newborn sibling, #python3. It's no need to say that my #operatingsystem of choice, use and love is a of course, a popular distribution of #linux, i.e. #xubuntu; #xfce is my and my PC's best bond of love, along with #bash and #zsh. I love watching #movies, especially heart-moving #warfilms, thought provoking #darkcomedies, saluted #satires, divinely appetizing #epics, #neoreals, that leave you speechless, and some more and more to come; I so love #shortfilms that I do wish to someday, #make one. Well, you may call me an amateur, but I am a #photographer, #photography, being one of my passtime passions, #astrophotography, being one of my dreams, not having been able to capture a proper one yet. I have only taken part in a few well-known #photowalks, spread through social-media.

You know, like me or not, I strongly believe in #foss, especially #fosss, being a #privacy and #security concerned person, if not a #customization freak, an embryo of a #hacker and of course a #linuxlover. If that seems a bit commonplace, well it is, then I also happen to be a fan of a #marsrover; ah! #mars or Jasoom, call it what may, it's lovely. But lovelier are the #rovers that graze on it's surface. I so wish that I had a pet #quadcopter alongside my late pet #cat. Cool is the only word I can have for #robots; ah! #robotics, what a sweet art art thou. Though a little sweeter would be #cognition, whose daughter #ai is a sweet child, I wish was mine. Can #intelligence be #artificial? Or is it just another #random #oxymoron, that a #language is filled with, that #linguistics deals with? Or maybe I'm just writing a #microtale. But then, #microtales are so lovely. Be it in #english or #bengali, rather #bangla, or #hindi or #german; though for #deutsch I still need a dictionary. At least #scrabble and #hangman are still in english for me. But yes, I just happened to fall in love with #html5 and #markdown.

Robot parking attendent has "rage detector"

Kai Saffron at G+:

Just found out yesterday I'm being replaced on the parking lot by a robot.

But it's not all bad:

It's really the perfect job for a robot. My favorite fact about the robot is that it has a Rage Detector, i.e. if someone punches or kicks it, it records the incident of violence and they get the anger management issue-challenged dork on video!
