Yes, you heard it right. The telecom giant

first humanoid robot with emotions. This
four feet tall, 61 pounds of adorable
humanoid robot recognizes tones of voice
and facial expressions in order to interact
with humans. And the best part? Well,
Pepper tries to make you happy!
Pepper features cameras, lasers and
infrared sensors on its head so it can
detect human faces. Also, it is equipped
with artificial intelligence to interpret and
even react to anger, happiness,
nervousness, sorrow in humans around by
recognizing their voice tones, facial
expressions, and language.
Pepper is designed for all household
activities like serving as a nurse,
babysitting, gardening or even making
sandwiches! Besides, it is highly curious
and tries to talk to you, learn about you
and adapt accordingly. Also, it can speak
17 languages and is backed by 12 hours of
battery.
A $1,650 consumer version was
announced back in June. SoftBank has
announced partnership with Foxconn and
Alibaba. SoftBank is highly optimistic
of Pepper being the first step in spreading
robotics worldwide.
Imagine a world in which every household
would be equipped with such cute robots
to understand your emotions, especially in
old age homes, where Pepper can not only
make them happy, but also aid in
household work.

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...
