KILLLLLL IT.
Because all robots should be invincible so we don’t stand a chance when they finally begin their assault on humanity, DARPA has teamed up with a group of universities (all of which should expect some hate-mail over the weekend) to create this ‘attack-proof’ robotic worm that looks like a peen. And not a very good looking peen either.
Engineers have created a robot that mimics a worm’s movements – crawling along surfaces by contracting segments of its body.
The technique allows the machine to be made of soft materials so it can squeeze through tight spaces and mould its shape to rough terrain.
It can also absorb heavy blows without sustaining damage.
That’s it, I give UP. I’m tired of trying to inform the masses of the impending robot-apocalypse and not being taken seriously. Why do I even bother? “To give your otherwise meaningless life some significance?” Haha, that is why I do it, isn’t it? Man, I’m one sad sack of shit.
Hit the jump for a worthwhile video highlighting the robot’s penis-ness.
Android conspiracy theories? They go all the way to the top — or will soon, thanks to the US Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The department has given the green light to use Dell’s Mobile Security for Android platform on defense networks. The testing process utilized the Dell Streak, because apparently being giant is an important part of national security.

The controversy surrounding Wikileaks continues, as you always expected it would. All branches of the Unites States military are now banning their personnel from having anything to do with the site, primarily to avoid “electronic spillages,” a phrase I have never heard before. The Pentagon told the Washington Times that those in the Navy should avoid accessing the site so as to prevent the introduction of “potentially classified information on unclassified networks.”
Meanwhile, memos have started appearing online — leaked, if you will—with instructions from the various branches.
For example, this is what the Marine Corps is telling its personnel:
USMC Personnel (Marines/Civilians/Contractors) are hereby cautioned and directed to NOT access the WIKILEAKS website from a personally owned, publically owned or US Government computer system.
By willingly accessing the WIKILEAKS website for the purpose of viewing the posted classified material – these actions constitute the unauthorized processing, disclosure, viewing, and downloading of classified information onto an UNAUTHORIZED computer system not approved to store classified information. Meaning they have WILLINGLY committed a SECURITY VIOLATION.
Clearly the military is not messing around here.
Here’s another warning, this time from another forum:
Personnel are reminded not to confirm nor deny information contained on the website. In addition, personnel should not access the WikiLeaks website on government owned systems, in order to avoid a proliferation of potential electronic spillages (ES).
Judging by Wikileaks’ tweets, the organization doesn’t seem too concerned with the various machinations of the government.
Here’s a choice tweet:

WikiLeakswikileaks
This, despite the Pentagon wanting to compel the site to do “ the right thing.”
That’s the thing: Wikileaks thinks it is doing the right thing by publishing these, and other, documents. I point you in the direction of 2600 Magazine, which hosted The Next Hope conference a few weeks ago, where Wikileaks was the subject of the keynote address (ctrl-f for Keynote Address – Wikileaks). In its mind, Wikileaks does the right thing by shining light where there was once only darkness.
Another oddity about the video: the Pentagon keeps asking for the “return” of the documents. How, exactly, is Wikileaks to “return” digitized documents, documents that are still being served right now. How many people, all over the world, have already downloaded the documents? How many of these people have made copies of the documents? The documents will be traded on BitTorrent, on Usenet, on Rapidshare, on IRC, snippets printed on t-shirts (remember DeCSS t-shirts back in the day?)…
The documents are out there. Full stop. Asking people to “return” the documents, or to “get rid of them,” it’s a complete joke. I’m not saying that’s right or wrong, but that’s the reality of the situation.
This will not end any time soon, that much is sure.
