Some of the best posts we made this week involved real “reporting” involving “interviews” and “actually talking to humans” — go figure! Today Matt and Devin sat down with magician and atheist Penn Jillette and I spoke with iRobot’s CEO Colin Angle about the future of iRobot and personal robotics.
In hardware news, we took a gander at the LimePC, a single board computer that is about as big as an iPod nano and fits into almost any case — from ultra-mini PC to an iMac-like slab.
Oh, and LG let us take pictures of their watch phone.
CES seems like a fun place to be right about now… hopefully I can make it for next years. I enjoyed CG’s articles of the event… will we see live steaming next year with John Biggs wearing a headcam?

“magician and atheist”
thats a weird thing to write..
would you write “magician and Christian” if he was one?
introducing him as an atheist? is that really neccessary?
Mind linking to the Penn Gillette article or do I have to sit here and wonder what was said?
Yeah, the Penn Gillette link is pointing to itself/this post.
This reply written by Jack, Christian . .
Unless the phrase is “and fellow atheist” I find the superfluous description is often being added by someone who is uncomfortable with atheism.
Good job, Colin. Just let the robots grow up a bit, then we will show this theistic world who is the boss.
@ those concerned with atheism: it’s relevant because he’s a noted, outspoken atheist, and it’s relevant. He talked about atheism, I thought it’d be good to point it out. And, yes, if he was an outspoken Christian and talked about that pointedly, I’d have mentioned that, too.
@ Jon: Yes, live steaming video. Head cam? Not sure. We’re working on a way to bring you the Steve Jobs keynote live on Monday, at least the live audio with photographs. No promises, but it’d be cool, yes?
@Matt
Photographs and audio… nah, I prefer to wait for the real keynote and be “un-surprised” by what is being offered yet again… among the dumbest moves by Apple recently, killing streaming keynotes was one of the bigger ones in my opinion. I am one of those super-duper-evil guys who switched from OSX to XP and never looked back after having a mac for 15 years of my life

It’s Penn Jillette.
@11 you’re right. It’s been a long week.
