navibot

These are fun, but useless for real cleaning. They don't clean anywhere near as deeply as something like a Dyson.

I have a Roomba, which looks the same and sounds the same as this (despite the assertions this is something new, the Roomba knows where it is and remembers the room layout).

The problems are, its wheels get full of dog hair, it doesn't do medium long pile carpet well, but above all it is too flippin small!

It fills up too quickly and can't self-evacuate. Make the "bag" area bigger...

LOL

navi-bot? the name has nothing to do with some recent movie featuring 10ft blue aliens. No connection what so ever. Just like it was a coincidence that everything was called a neo-something right about after the matrix came out...
GET CREATIVE

Why the ceiling?

I don't get the mapping of the ceiling thing at all as well, you don't have furniture on the ceiling and isn't it as such going to an utterly useless map other than giving it a size of the room and allow it to know the centre of the room or something? or am I missing something here?

All I keep on thinking of is the things going to spend all day humping the leg of a table as the ceiling hasn't a table on it :P

Video player used by The Inquirer?

I apologize that this is totally off-topic, but is that video player used by The Inquirer, specifically http://www.theinquirer.net/postVideoPlayer07.swf free to use? What is the homepage of that player?

Sky is the limit

I wonder what behavior it has outside, or in vaulted ceilings?

can it map the arc of a vaulted ceiling?

The Dark Roomba?

The future becomes clear:
The prelude to Skynet will be a bunch of discoid PervBots peaking up ladies' skirts.

Mapping the ceiling

Bravo to whomever thought up mapping the ceiling (an employee at Samsung or someone else).

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
