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?

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. 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...

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...

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is the way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again. Increasingly, SERP features (local packs, Knowledge panels, featured snippets and so on) are stealing searchers’ attention and clicks from organic listings.

It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it?
