Yamaha Builds A Robot That Drives Motorcycles and Challenges World Champion Rossi

Yamaha pulled a big one in the Tokyo Motor
Show as it showcased its superbike riding Robot rather than
any showing any ceremonious unconventional motorbike.
Named Motobot, this humanoid is improving every day to give
the champion racers a run for their money.
While others were busy showing
what their automobile has got,
Yamaha displayed a marvel of
engineering and AI at the Tokyo Motor
Show. It wasn't just any superbike or a
green fuel motorcycle, but a humanoid
that could effectively control and zoom on
Yamaha's 1000cc R1M.
As humans were already pissed off of the
fact that machines would take their jobs
becoming a doctor, lawyer and architect,
Motobot and the flavour of the
season, self-driving cars, have taken the
drivers' seat as well.
Motobot is the product of an intense R&D
effort in robotics technology and
Yamaha's aim to create a robot that could
cruise any unmodified bike. And if you are
a rider yourself, you would understand
that this task is no easy.

Yamaha released a video showing
Motobot riding its superbike with ease
and in its childish voice even called out
the MotoGP world champion, Valentino
Rossi as he said, "I am improving my
skills every day. I was created to surpass
you." But, unlike other superstars,
Motobot is quite humble and realises that
he needs to learn from the master to catch
up to him.
The superbike riding robot has caught
every speed lover's attention for the
ultimate battle between the man and the
machine on a superbike. However, the
makers are still working to improve
Motobot skills until it touches 200 kph on
a racetrack.
Yamaha wants to use its state-of-the-
art technology to 'pioneer new lines of
business' which has left many wondering
what could it be! Could we be witnessing a
humanoid MotoGP now?

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale.   Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Are You Treating Your Kids Like Your Career?

And, we see this all the time. Hey,listen I've heard evidence of this phenomenon at the hairdresser, nail salon, at high school softball games, or at the grocery store. Mothers move in closer to each other and start to talk to one other very seriously and very competitively about their kids' achievements, successes, activities but certainly not about their disappointments, feelings, or emotional concerns. Nope, those topics are reserved for the night when those parents are alone with both the darkness of the night and their concerns. Now these are kids they are talking about, not careers. I'll tell you though that it sounds a whole lot like they are talking about jobs and job advancement. And, these kids who are their current careers, in my opinion, are at risk to become highly anxious and stressed as they struggle not to let their parents down. Don't kid yourself parents — your kids are desperately afraid of failing you. Want to figure out if your child has beco...
