myLot Topics| Hi-tech robots help US troops | | I was reading my new issue of Newsmax. Vecna Robotics is developing a new robot to help our troops. It is called the Battefield Extraction Assist Robot, or BEAR. It can climb hills, move up a winding forest path, climb up and down stairs. It is equiped with cameras and mikes and can switch from wheels to tracks depending on the terrain and can carry up to 500 lbs. It is scheduled to join military units by 2010. Can you imagine? Little robots scurrying around carrying the wounded. Sounds like Sci-fi... | |

SINGAPORE: One car dealer calls it a tsunami, another describes it as the point of no return.These best sum up sentiments, after COE prices hit fresh highs on Wednesday in the first bidding tender since a reduction in COE supply kicked in.The biggest increase was in the big-car category, where the premium jumped S$9,412 to S$45,501. The COE for small cars meanwhile rose S$5,612 to S$34,001.The premiums for both categories hit fresh highs that were last seen some eight to 10 years ago.To put the figures in perspective, the COE for small cars was about S$5,000 about one year ago. Now, it is seven times more. For big cars, the COE is now nine times more than what it was a year ago.In the Open Category, where the COEs can be used for any vehicle type but end up usually for cars, the premium climbed S$6,999 to S$49,000 on Wednesday.Meanwhile, the COEs for commercial vehicles rose S$3,621 to S$36,511.For... | |

After restricting DC to 171, Delhi Daredevils seemed to be in with a good chance a winning, but made a mess of the chase to loose by 10 runs. Are the wheels coming off Delhi's IPL this season? Or is it the missing effect of Gautam Gambhir?Expert opinions please:)Cheers!

| | the wheels on the bus go....... | | I was peacefully sleeping this morning when suddenly I heard "the wheels on the bus" It was extremelu loud so I got up to find out what on earth was going on. To my surprise it was my son and my mother. She came by to see her grandson and they were playing with one of his toys. So my fellow mylotters what was the first song you heard today? | |

| | | The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round... | | ...or the vinyl on the turntable goes round and round...I've been spending my time on youtube lately listening to records.[em]happy[/em]There are just TONS of videos that are of people recording their vinyl into a digital format, and I love the way it sounds.There's just something totally different about vinyl vs CD or MP3, and I've always thought the sound was so much warmer, that it has more presence to it. Plus, let's face it...I am old, and there are some things I like better the old ways.I LIKE analogue signals...your can compress the hell out of them and STILL get a great sound.Digital...well, there are just some things it doesn't do right.And if you are recording with tape, you can saturate the hell out of the signal, and it just makes it sound better.Try it with digital, and...well, it sounds like it belongs in an outhouse.So, since subscribing to a few youtube channels that are nothing but vinyl recordings, I have been immensely enjoying myself.Check some youtube vinyl out...you might be amazed at how it sounds.[em]happy[/em]
