Innings of the day
With a sashay down the track and a full swing of the bat, Eoin Morgan deposited Shoaib Malik back over his head for six to power along to his maiden Test century, and dismiss any doubts about his aptitude for first-class cricket. The nervelessness of his performance belied the struggle in which it began, with three wickets tumbling either side of lunch to leave England awkwardly placed at 118 for 4. But with Paul Collingwood steadfast alongside him, Morgan set his team’s sights on domination. Morgan may already be England’s one-day finisher, but in Test cricket he is only just getting started.

ApriPoko may weigh a mere five pounds, but this voice-operated, talking robot functions as a universal remote for multiple home appliances and devices. Its creators, the researchers at Toshiba, exemplify Japan’s obsession for all things robotic, but ApriPoko has gone even one mechanical step further than other robots have gone before.
ApriPoko actually observes human behavior and asks questions in order to learn how to operate various remote controls.
ApriPoko has a memory triggered by sensors that are able to detect infrared rays emanating from the remote. Every time a human presses any button at all, it will ask from a chest-mounted speaker: “What did you just do?”
By answering the dear little devil, for example, “I just changed the channel on the television, this information is then ...

“It wouldn’t have been polite to spit it out on camera,” she said.
Unfortunately, the mosquito dug deep into her windpipe, thereby setting off a really bad asthma attack that almost caused her to choke to death. A four-minute advertisement then aired, during which time she was replaced with a different anchor.
