Boston, MA — The Free Software Foundation presented the first 3G robot to be run entirely on free software in a ceremony today at the Boston harbor. GNUBot, as the robot is being referred to, is the product of over 2,000,000 different programmers around the world who have been writing the code since the early 1980’s.

Richard Stallman, the 91 year old founder of The Free Software Foundation, was ecstatic. “Once again, we have shown that free software can accomplish anything that proprietery software can. The possibilities for the GNUBot system are endless. Everything that people have come to expect from third generation robots can now be accomplished without being held to the shackles of Proprietary software. The GNUbot is Freedom.”

The GNUbot is configurable with most 3G robot models and the software can be found on all Bit Torrent trackers. It has been 2 years since Exemp, the software that powers 85% of all third generation robots was released by Microsoft. After a flurry of great news, Exemp has been the subject of many problems and complaints the last 6 months. Apple’s 3G offering still has no final release date with reports now saying their 3G entry won’t be ready until the third quarter of this year.

Cupertino, CA — Today’s events at Apple inc. headquarters celebrating the eightieth birthday of founder Steve Jobs featured a reflection on his contribution to modern life, and the announcement of a new product to the ever expanding iPod family. The new iGlasses are glasses with a special screen on them that shifts between clear lenses, customizable levels of tinting, and a screen to show video from the internal 4TB hard drive. It is completely voice controlled with the exception of a single button near the right temple. Apple anticipates shipping the iGlasses in the fourth quarter of this year. Pricing details are currently unavaileble, though it is anticipated that like most apple products, it will drop in price after 3 months.

This is the first new addition to the iPod family since Suri Cruise replaced Jonathen Ive as head of design at Apple inc.
