I said “cable-laying,” get it? Anyhoo, if you’re in the market for a huge remote controlled submersible robot that weighs 50 tons and can bury oil and gas pipes at the bottom of the ocean, look no further than the Ultra Trencher 1 by a company called SMD. It uses propellers to submerge itself to depths up to a mile and then uses ninja-like high-pressure “jet swords” to cut a trench in the ocean floor. Pipes can then be safely buried out of the way of shipwrecks, fishing equipment, and currents.

Some time ago the AI claimed that Apple’s Mac Mini was going down the pooper and that it would soon be pulled from the lineup. Well, as anyone can tell that never happened. In fact, Apple is finally going to give the little white box a major overhaul instead of the measly changes it’s incurred over the last year or so. The overhaul entails a move to the 45-nanometer Core 2 Duo mobile chips with speeds starting at 2.1GHz with 3MB of shared L2 cache, 800MHz front-side bus and the MacBook’s current integrated graphics card, the Intel GMA X3100. No word on when this will hit the masses, though.
The iMac is also looking to jump from Merom to Penryn chips in the near future.
