AT&T completes 100-Gigabit Ethernet field trial using new Cisco gear, proves it does care
Remember those network investments that AT&T was talking up just days before Time Warner slipped over an offer for help? Looks as if the firm wasn’t kidding around, but there’s still nothing here that should get you excited about more available bandwidth in the coming days. Utilizing that fancy new Cisco router, the carrier recently completed a live network environmental trial of 100-Gigabit backbone network technology (far more hasty than that 40-Gigabit stuff that’s around today), but we’re told that the tech isn’t expected to be ready for “commercial deployment” until the “next few years.” ‘Course, we suspect we should be struck by the notion that the internet may actually have the proper infrastructure to keep on keepin’ on once Hulu really does take over the world, but for now, we’ll just have to extract a bit more joy from those vague “little things” in life.

Wearable rescue robot learns a new trick, starts opening doors
Thanks to the robo-wizards at Japan’s BL Autotec, small form-factor rescue robots have a new trick up their sleeves — and yes, they could even have sleeves now — in the shape of a robotic arm that can open doors. To make it easier on operators, the arm’s manipulator is equipped with a camera to spot door knobs and an LED for low-light situations.

World’s oldest ‘flying car’ goes to the auction block
It’s hard to decide if Frank Skroback’s 1934 creation is a plane that drives like a car, or a car that’s supposed to soar like a plane, but it’s considered the oldest known “roadable aircraft” — which we guess is the ’30s version of a flying car. The vehicle is going to be put on sale later this month at Red Baron’s Antiques in Atlanta, and it’s not just some gimmick novelty. While it most certainly won’t fly, Skroback really did take a stab at the whole idea, and the plane-car will sell with blueprints, extensive documentation, the 1921 patent and even a record of Skroback trying to sell it himself.
