iRobot Packbots enter Fukushima nuclear plant to gather data, take photos, save lives (video)
Apr 18th
iRobot recently deployed a pair of robots to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, where intense levels of radiation have made it increasingly dangerous for human rescue workers to operate. The remote-controlled Packbots entered one of Fukushima’s reactor buildings on Sunday morning, in the hopes of providing authorities with a better idea of what’s going on inside the plant’s nether regions. Each Packbot entered the facility with an attached video camera, allowing Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) to receive live interior images and temperature readings of the troubled reactor building. It would certainly be a daunting task for any human to undertake, but the Packbot is specially designed to cope with hazardous conditions (in the past, it’s been used to defuse bombs for the U.S. Army). And the Packbot isn’t alone, either. Authorities are also using a mechanical excavator and transporter to wipe away some of the debris outside the plant, while an unmanned helicopter has been hoisted skyward, to take aerial photos of the area. TEPCO has yet to release information on the Packbots’ findings, but if Sunday’s mission proves to be a success, they’ll be sent in to two other reactor buildings, to do it all over again. Check out a video and an extra image of the Packbot, after the break.

Still need an iPad 2? Head to Best Buy on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Apr 16th
Well now, this is interesting. We’ve been hearing a lot of chatter about Best Buy and the iPad 2, rumors that the company was sitting on a giant pile of tablets ahead of some great event. Well, now we have an interesting tip that says the company will tap into that stock-pile ahead of a big Sunday launch. According to the above image, stores will, in general, have a minimum of three slates each — which in many cases isn’t going to be enough. Good, then, that the company has a guide on how to “minimize customer disappoints.” BBY has earlier said that it is fulfilling reservations first, so if you’re still holding your ticket but not a tablet this might be a good time to give your local big box a ring.
