Don’t say we didn’t warn you about the impending robot apocalypse. One of the most terrifying robots on the horizon has to be Boston Dynamics‘ ATLAS robot. Terrifying because they are teaching this thing to do all kinds of new tricks. Like how to run and jump for instance. Great job, robot geeks. Now they can chase us down and jump over obstacles. It’s like you want them to kill us all.
Much to our horror, the company recently released footage demonstrating the robot’s improved jogging and jumping skills. Now Auralnauts has released their own edit of the video, which envisions that ATLAS has escaped from his human masters. The clip will have you laughing, but also crying because this thing can really run:
The commentary from the robot’s pursuers is hilarious, but the video is a bit open-ended. Did ATLAS get away, or did they take the shot? I have no idea. I really want to know. All I can say for sure is that in a few years these robots will be running after us, then locking us up in human zoos for their own amusement.
We better start kissing their metal butts and ingratiating ourselves with our new overlords.

Overnight the internet became obsessed with an audio clip called Laurel VS Yanny. Today we’re going to make the distinction simple – with pictures and everything. In a nutshell: both “yanny” and “laurel” are in the original sound clip – and it wasn’t originally meant to be a trick. It’s just the way the audio clip was processed that makes … Continue reading

The notch design we’re seeing on smartphones is here to stay. This is because this isn’t so much a design choice but a necessity. More companies are starting to launch full screen smartphones and because many are trying to eliminate as much bezel as possible, it means that there needs to be a location to house the speaker and front-facing camera amongst other sensors, hence the notch.
Unfortunately it looks like Nokia and HMD Global can’t seem to escape that reality with the launch of the Nokia X6. This is the company’s latest smartphone which features an edge-to-edge display (save for the lip at the bottom) and a notch at the top, although thankfully in this case it does seem to be smaller than some of the other models we’ve seen.
In terms of specs, the Nokia X6 doesn’t appear to be the most powerful smartphone in HMD’s lineup. We’re looking at a 5.8-inch display with a FHD+ resolution, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. However given its design, we suppose it’s actually not too bad or a mid-ranger.
We’re also looking at a dual rear camera setup which combines a 16MP and 5MP camera, a front-facing 16MP camera, and like we said for a mid-ranger it’s not too bad, especially when you consider that it only costs around $205.
