world’s first sex robot wants to hold hands
this topic quite attract me on the news in the star online this morning. So, i would like to share with you guys what is it actually..
freshly taken on 6.23am this morning on the star online under the technology news..
In Las Vegas,
A New Jersey company says it has developed “the world’s first sex robot,” a life-size rubber doll that’s designed to engage the owner with conversation rather than lifelike movement.
At a demonstration at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas on Saturday, the dark-haired, negligee-clad robot said “I love holding hands with you” when it sensed that its creator touched its hand.
Another action, this one unprintable, elicited a different vocal response from Roxxxy the robot.
The level of sophistication demonstrated was not beyond that of a child’s talking toy, but Roxxxy has a lot more brains than that, there’s a laptop connected to cables coming out of its back.
It has touch sensors at strategic locations and can sense when it’s being moved. But it can’t move on its own, not even to turn its head or move its lips. The sound comes out of an internal loudspeaker.
Douglas Hines, founder of Lincoln Park, New Jersey-based True Companion LLC, said Roxxxy can carry on simple conversations. The real aim, he said, is to make the doll someone the owner can talk to and relate to.
“Sex only goes so far, then you want to be able to talk to the person,” Hines said.
The phrases that were demonstrated were pre-recorded, but the robot will also be able to synthesise phrases out of pre-recorded words and sounds, Hines said.
This part quite attract me,
Man U, too
The laptop will receive updates over the Internet to expand the robot’s capabilities and vocabulary. Since Hines is a soccer fan, it can already discuss Manchester United, he said. It snores, too.
Owners will also be able to select different personalities for Roxxxy, from “Wild Wendy” to “Frigid Farrah,” Hines said. He’s charging somewhere from US$7,000 to US$9,000 (RM24,000 to RM31,000) for the robot, including the laptop, and expects to start shipping in a few months.
A Japanese company, Honey Dolls, makes life-size sex dolls that can play recorded sounds, but Roxxxy’s sensors and speech capabilities appear to be more sophisticated. Hines’ goals are certainly more far-reaching.
An engineer, Hines said he was inspired to create the robot after a friend died in the Sept 11, 2001, terror attacks. That got him thinking about preserving his friend’s personality, to give his children a chance to interact with him as they’re growing up.
Major hurdles
Looking around for commercial applications for artificial personalities, he initially thought he might create a home healthcare aide for the elderly.
“But there was tremendous regulatory and bureaucratic paperwork to get through. We were stuck,” Hines said. “So I looked at other markets.”
The broader goal of the company is still to take artificial personalities into the mainstream, beyond sex toys, Hines said.
“The sex robot thing is marketing, it’s really about making a companion,” he said.
In a 2007 book, Love and Sex with Robots, British chess player and artificial intelligence expert David Levy argues that robots will become significant sexual partners for humans, answering needs that other people are unable or unwilling to satisfy

movie poster!
finally..i finally did the sci fi text effect and space background...
i did it about 2 hour. took to much time to do that, because not really pro yet in photoshop. so just want to share what i've done this afternoon.
firstly i do the sci-fi text effect since i interested from what i seen in many movie posters, such as Transformers, 2012, Star Wars and Avatar. Those made me interested to try. So, this morning i made s0me research on the internet to find out how to do that. Then, luckily i found it. I read and watch some video tutorial on how to do it. Then, this afternoon i manage to do it. Actually, to do the text effect, i just need to use Smudge Tool which also we can use the Brush Tool. But, i found it more easy to use the Smudge Tool in doing those effects. I dont kn0w what text should i wrote. So, i just took my blog's name psychosocial.
after that, i do the space background. This actually took me a lot of time to do since i never did this before. First of all i choose black colour as the background since the space is black, haha. Then, i make new layer and add vector mask which i've filter by render and choose Clouds. After that, i apply the layer style on it which is the outer glow with puple and blend it screened. I duplicate those layer and change the outer glow with turquoise. Then i rotated the layer about 270 degree to make sure the layer doesnt overlap. Next, i made a new layer to make something juz like the nebula, the red things on the picture. On this layer, i filled with 50% gray and i filter it with render and choose Clouds once again. Like always, i blend it screen again. Then, i use Gradient Tool to smoothen the edges of this layer.
Lastly, i just put my own picture there. Maybe it can be looks like the movie poster also. Thats all. Any comments are accepted and the bad comments are consider as taboo, hehe^^. Just kidding, any bad comments also accepted to improve myself in doing this. Pen off...

nervous
hmm...i recently watch 2012 this midnight alone since i've heard this movie so interestings. I just watch it online because no money to buy DVD even the pirate one. If i'm not mistaken this movie was released last year on 13 november. Its kind a late already, but i really interested to watch it since that time i was busy struggling for last spm. What so interesting in that movie is, the CGI is really2 nice and i dream of making it one day. CGI?? It is stand for computer generated imagery. It is application of the field of computer graphics or more known as 3D graphic to make special effects especially in movies. I really likes graphic. Thats why it attract me a lot to watch it..
BUT! What does i means with the topic NERVOUS??
so, i would like to share somethings, from my research this morning. But it was in Malay Language, and I think its okay for my friends to understand.
RENUNGKANLAH BERSAMA-SAMA
Cuba kira...1 Ramadhan pada tahun 2012 jatuh pada 20 Julai hari Jumaat, jadi 3 Ogos 2012 bersamaan 15 Ramadhan jatuh juga pada hari Jumaat. Sama dengan hadis Nabi mengenai huru hara besar yang akan terjadi pada tengah malam pertengahan bulan Ramadhan iaitu hari Jumaat 15 Ramadhan di bumi ini yang akan mengejutkan semua orang yang sedang tidur, berkenaan satu suara yang amat dahsyat akan kita dengar di langit, bukan Kiamat tapi huru hara tersebut akan melenyapkan umat manusia di atas muka bumi ini sebanyak 2/3, yang tinggal cuma 1/3 sahaja. (seperti yang NASA pernah maklumkan pada 21.12.2012 planet X akan melintas/mendarat di bumi ni) Adakah kita semua ini tergolong dalam 1/3 tu? Allah sahaja Maha Mengetahui. Cuba kita lihat hadis Nabi di bawah ini dan kenyataan mengenai kalendar Islam 2012.
Nu'aim bin Hammad meriwayatkan dengan sanadnya bahawa Rasulullah S.A.W. bersabda: "Bila telah muncul suara di bulan Ramadhan, maka akan terjadi huru-hara di bulan Syawal...." Kami bertanya: "Suara apakah, ya Rasulullah?" Baginda menjawab: "Suara keras di pertengahan bulan Ramadhan, pada malam Jumaat, akan muncul suara keras yang membangunkan orang tidur, menjadikan orang yang berdiri jatuh terduduk, para gadis keluar dari pingitannya, pada malam Jumaat di tahun terjadinya banyak gempa. Jika kalian telah melaksanakan solat Subuh pada hari Jumaat, masuklah kalian ke dalam rumah kalian, tutuplah pintu-pintunya, sumbatlah lubang-lubangnya, dan selimutilah diri kalian, sumbatlah telinga kalian. Jika kalian merasakan adanya suara menggelegar, maka bersujudlah kalian kepada Allah dan ucapkanlah: "Mahasuci Al-Quddus, Mahasuci Al-Quddus, Rabb kami Al-Quddus!", kerana barangsiapa melakukan hal itu akan selamat, tetapi barangsiapa yang tidak melakukan hal itu akan binasa".

this things actually made me really nervous and i cant sleep now. So, i just post this entry hope can share with everyone about this. To those been watching this movie, i believe they also agree with the logical in this movie scientifically. For me, we can believe it. but we only need to set up our faith..
Just sebagai seorang Islam ni, kita wajib percaya kewujudan Hari Kiamat, tiupan sangkakala, mati dan dihidupkan semula, berkumpul di Padang Mahsyar, timbangan Hisab, meniti Siratul Mustaqim, balasan Syurga dan Neraka itu semuanya benar. Bila segalanya akan berlaku? Tiada siapa pun yang tahu. Wallahu' Alam...

missing her again
Missing someone gets easy when they are away from us. Sometimes, when I think of all the memories I've had, I'm blessed I've known someone so special, it stays forever in my mind and it fits exactly in the size of my small heart.
This evening she's going back to school and she doesnt bring along her handphone. That made missing her so much. If she bring along her phone, surely i can sms or call her. I felt this holiday so short, for us but not for me. Because i still have about 3 months of holiday to wait for spm result come out. I really miss the momment chatting and sms with her especially chatting. This holiday was the first time we chat together with webcam.
The hardest part of missing her is when I know things will never be the same again, there's no longer that sweet smile on the sweet face, a hand to hold and a heart to understand, let alone I can't do anything about it but to move on and forget things behind.
And the most paintful part of missing someone is when all I can think of are the memories she left me. Cause that's the exact moment I will ask myself... "Will those memories ever come back again?"
Its about a year i havent meet her since our last date on the January 2009...really miss her so much...
