By Geoff Duncan Published August 24, 2006

Are you pumped? Are you at the edge of your seat? Are you excited about the new Fall 2006 television season?!

Well, Yahoo TV hopes you’ll check out their free Fall 2006 TV Preview site anyway. The site is offering exclusive access to pilot episodes from seleted shows debuting on major broadcast networks this season, making Yahoo TV the only way to see these shows before they’re broadcast. Or cancelled. You know: whichever comes first.

“Offering Yahoo! users access to content from new and returning shows is part of our ongoing efforts to give people the most entertaining and engaging online programming possible,” said Karin Gilford, Yahoo’s general manager for entertainment, in a release. “As people watch more video content online, we look forward to continuing our collaboration with the TV networks to provide users with the highest quality TV-related content on the Web.”

In addition to clips, scheduling information, “dish,” and sneak peaks at the networks’ lineups for this autumn, the Yahoo Fall 2006 TV Preview offers the complete pilot episodes for Fox drama Vanished, CBS series Jericho, and NBC’s Heroes up until their network broadcast premieres. The first episode of the new season of Prison Break will also be available online immediately following the show’s second season premiere.

Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

The GOKO M6 Robotic Lawn Mower Brings Industrial Robotics to Modern Lawn Care

7 reasons this AI-driven powerhouse makes hands-free yard work smarter than ever

Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
