Asher spotted this cool video about a practical use today for Google's self-driving car. We announced our self-driving car project in 2010 to make driving safer, more enjoyable, and more efficient. Having safely completed over 200,000 miles of computer-led driving, we wanted to share one of our favorite moments.

If you're hanging out for a Raspberry Pi, there's a delay over CE certification. The issue centers around two companies -- RS Components and element14/Premier Farnell -- that have confirmed they won't distribute the device until it's been anointed with the CE label. Raspberry Pi had previously argued that its PC is not a "finished end product," and that it, like Beagleboard, could therefore be distributed without the CE mark. Its distributors, however, disagreed. As a result, the team is working to get their computers CE-compliant "as soon as humanly possible," and are already pretty confident that they'll meet category A, and perhaps even category B requirements.

If I had this magic pizza button I'd probably double my weight in a month. It was bad enough a few years ago when I discovered a local kebab shop would deliver a kebab to my house for $5 total. They went out of business pretty quickly and I like to think it wasn't entirely my fault. Ordering pizza just got a whole lot easier thanks to a refrigerator magnet that lets you order your favorite pie for you at the press of a button.

Martin spotted this video of an elephant playing with a tablet PC. Peter the elephant plays with a Samsung Galaxy Note. This is all real, no film trickery, post-production or hidden cuts -- he's just a very clever elephant.
