I saw a similar thing at a Mars chocolate factory in the 1990s: a lone worker with a conveyor belt of chocolate bars to one side, and a robot opening up boxes to the other. The worker was grabbing handfuls of chocolate bars and filling up t

Wait a while...it took about six months for one to happen here in Sydney. Well worth the wait - half an hour of exclusive use of a Hololens. All the while being recorded for market research purposes, but that seemed like a fair trade.

I got a Nest thermostat a few years ago when I was working from home and sat at my desk most of the day. This meant that I seldom walked past the Nest, meaning that after a while it would assume there was no-one home so would turn the heati

No need to stay sat down. On a long flight I take a few walks, loiter in the galley area, get the blood flowing in the legs with a session of raising myself up/down on tiptoes repeatedly... Really seems to help.
