During the week, Sara Williams tweeted about her new born baby.  She had the baby with her husband and Twitter CEO Evan Williams.  To write about what was going on, she used text messaging to notify Twitter about the updates.

Below are some of the messages that both Evan and Sara tweeted.

Evan Williams:
Aug 11th 12:10 PM: Operation Baby Launch continues on track, though a bit too slowly in my opinion. That’s usually the case with big launches though.
Aug 11th 3:55 PM:  “Yes! @sara gave birth to a perfect baby boy. Both are well. 8 pounds, 21 inches! Smiles all around.”
Aug 12th 4:10 PM: “Thx for all the well wishes! Mom, baby, and dad are in the hospital, feeding, recovering, occasionally sleeping…all generally amazed.”

Sara Williams
Aug 10th 11:46 PM: “Dear Twitter, My water broke. It wasn’t like Charlotte in Sex and the City. Now, timing contractions on an iPhone app.”
Aug 11th 1:37 AM:  “The Contraction Tracker was fun until the contractions got painful.”
Aug 11th 4:11 AM: “Admitted to hospital. Got the second-to-last room.”
Aug 11th 5:49 AM: “Epidural, yes please.”
Aug 11th 1:20 PM: “The heartbeat monitor soothes the silence of a room that will shortly be anything but silent.”
Aug 11th 5:12 PM: “@ev is changing the first diaper.”

After reading these messages, I realized how addictive Twitter really can be.  Especially if a woman can sit their tweeting during the whole childbirth process.

In what’s hopefully indicative of future trends, the upcoming Guitar Hero 5 for Nintendo Wii has the ability to stream content — in this case, extra songs — directly from the SD card. Up until now, everything from the card had to be transferred to 512MB internal memory before use, meaning you’d be pretty limited if making that near-endless set list of premium downloaded tracks. With 32GB of space now at your disposal, it looks like the only limit is your bank account and your predilection to Eagles of Death Metal. So when are we gonna see this trick in other Wii titles, eh Nintendo?

Ready for your daily dose of wildly speculative extrapolation and unfounded fear-mongering? Predictive texting is the latest suspect in the ongoing war against things that make children dumb. A new study from Australia’s Monash University has shown that predictive texters finish their exams faster and with more errors than others, because of course, when your mobile finishes your words in a text, you expect it to finish your sentences in a test. We jest, and there may be a sliver of truth to this contention, but let’s be forthright here — you could probably do more damage to your brain with a good night’s alcohol intake than you can with a lifetime of texting.

Texting makes kids dumb — science fact!

The biannual International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence has this year shed light on a new effort to standardize robot instructions around a common platform, so that designers won’t have to “reinvent the wheel over and over” with every project. Presently, robot design is undertaken in an ad hoc fashion, with both hardware and software being built from scratch, but teams at Stanford, MIT and the Technical University of Munich are hoping to change that with the Robot Operating System, or ROS. This new OS would have to compete with Microsoft’s robotics offering, but the general enthusiasm for it at the conference suggests a bright future, with some brave souls even envisioning a robot app store somewhere down the line. Video after the break.
