Georgia Tech develops poultry deboning robot / chicken nightmare machine

If you have any chickens in the house, you're going to want to keep them away from the computer. Georgia Tech researchers have developed the device that will haunt their feathered dreams. The prototype Intelligent Cutting and Deboning System has a built-in 3D vision system in order to help it cut and debone a chicken. The robot uses collected data and custom algorithms to help reduce bone fragments and increase yield on birds, whilst ensuring that no fowl with ever get a full night's sleep again. The school has begun testing the system, as evidenced by the unfortunate bird picture above.

Motorist dies after being poisoned by airbag in minor crash

According to the coroner's office, Ronald Smith of Mardsen, South Shields in the UK "died as a result of the car crash and more pointedly because of the explosion of his airbag, and exposure to noxious substances.". According to IOL Motoring, Smith had been involved in a six-car accident in November of 2010 on his way home from work. While he wasn't physically injured in the crash, Smith inhaled the noxious contents of his airbag, which he said amounted to gases and a bunch of white powder, when an errant shard of glass punctured the bag.

Meet Magnus Walker, the world's most unikely Porsche 911 collector

Like it or not, we're all guilty of falling into the traps laid for us by stereotypes. For example, if we were to say the phrase "Porshce owner," odds are you'd have a very specific type of individual in mind. and that individual would likely look nothing like Magnus Walker. Walker is a thoroughbred car guy with an incomparable passion for the Porsche 911. As a clothing entrepreneur, he's about as far from the typical 911 owner as it gets.

Volkswagen Scirocco GTS commemorates 30-year anniversary of original

It's been 30 years since the very first Volkswagen Scirocco GTS rolled off the assembly line. Featuring little more than a slightly reworked front valance and some trippy decal work, the original Scirocco GTS was likely most notable for the fact that it was the first in the family to rock a blacked-out B-pillar. Now Volkswagen is paying homage to the machine with a new Scirocco GTS. Unveiled at the Auto Mobil International, the modern hatch rocks the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, complete with 210 horsepower, as the rest of the Scirocco range.

Verizon's FiOS delivers 75Mbps, 150Mbps and 300 Mbps speeds

Verizon Communications wants to serve its customers better from next month onwards (which is happening in a couple of days' time, actually) by delivering superior home Internet download speeds of up to 300Mbps. Should this happen, and the real world performance figures jive as close as possible to what was advertised, then it is safe to assume that this will most probably be the highest speed US residential service to date. Other rivals in this highly competitive area that Verizon is involved in include Cablevision Corp., Time Warner Cable Inc., and Comcast Corp., not to mention being the very same rivals in the TV segment as well.

Canadian carriers put Galaxy S III launch on June 20th, back dual-core 1.5GHz chip for LTE models

Canadian carriers flocked to the Galaxy S III before we'd barely even left our seats in London to try it, and it looks like they're also more than a little eager to provide launch details ahead of their American counterparts. Telus and Videotron have both confirmed the leaked June 20th release date, and Telus has gone so far as to reinforce suspicions that LTE models will use the Snapdragon S4 instead of the Exynos 4 Quad - it expects the phone to use a "1.5GHz dual-core processor," which sure sounds like Qualcomm's latest to us.

Fiat says it has 'no plans' to take Mazda stake

Fiat Chairman John Elkann says his company has no plans to purchase a stake in Mazda, according to Reuters. Instead, the Italian automaker will focus its efforts on increasing its share of Chrysler to more than 60 percent. Right now, Fiat owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler, though the European company has made it clear that at some point in the future, it would like that figure to be closer to 100 percent. Fiat and Mazda recently announced a plan to partner on the development of a new convertible sports car platform that will serve as the basis for both the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata and a new Alfa Romeo model.

Customs stops delaying HTC One X and EVO 4G LTE devices after 'review'

HTC-branded crates have been trickling through customs for ten days already, following a total clamp-down earlier in May, but it's only now that they're able to pass through without lengthy extra checks. The manufacturer says it has "completed the review process with US Customs" and that it is "confident that we will soon be able to meet the demand for our products." That obviously raises the question as to why the HTC One X and EVO 4G LTE devices were held up in the first place.

Ematic introduces the eGlide Steal Android tablet for $119.95

A couple weeks back, we reported on the Ematic eGlide XL Pro 2, an Android 4.0 tablet that will retail at $219.99. If you thought that the asking price of $219.99 was a bit expensive for your liking, the company has recently announced the eGlide Steal. For a price of $119.95, users will be able to get their hands on a tablet running on Android 4.0, but given the tablet is quite a "steal" (pun wholly intended) at that price, concessions had to be made in terms of hardware, so if you're looking for a power house Android tablet, the eGlide Steal might not be for you.

Rumor: production for new iPhone to start at the end of Q2, or in Q3

Today's rumor about the upcoming iPhone claims that production for Apple's new smartphone will only start in late Q2 or in Q3. Unfortunately that time frame is vague enough so that it doesn't actually give us any solid indication of when the new iPhone will be released. Though with production only starting at the end of June at the earliest, a reveal next month at Apple's annual WWDC seems very unlikely. Of course, this isn't the first time we've heard something like that.

Consumer Reports tests small eco models, best only saves $145/year in fuel (video)

The good people at Consumer Reports appear to have a dim view of fuel-economy packages on small cars. The organization recently tested the Ford Focus SFE, Chevrolet Cruze Eco and Honda Civic HF to determine whether the cars' annual fuel savings actually offset the additional cost of opting for the package to begin with. During their mixed city and highway loop testing, the Ford actually fared the best by returning 31 mpg overall. That's three miles per gallon better than the standard Focus SE, and represents an annual fuel cost savings of just $145.

Now, thanks to the FCC's documentation, it's been confirmed that the i747 will indeed be a phone sold by AT&T – its HSPA bands prove it.

Next-gen iPhone backplate component spotted – could this be it?

Now thanks to the folks at iFixyouri, they have sent 9to5 Mac a photo of an iPhone component which could very well belong to the next-gen iPhone. Neither iFixyouri nor 9to5 Mac has claimed that this backplate does belong to the next-gen iPhone, but based on the photo and the speculation and rumors, it certainly does look like a promising candidate. Regardless, we suggest taking this with a grain of salt until it has been confirmed.
