That headline is one of those insane things you never anticipate to write, or even read, in your lifetime, but newly restored Houdini movies show that he’s the first person EVER to fight a robot on film. If you’re at all interested in robots, Houdini, or some combination of the two going at it, get a copy of Houdini: The Movie Star on Amazon. Now, who’s the first person to have sex with a robot on film? Charlie Chaplin? [Boing Boing]

Bloops! The EPA has fined IOGEAR $208,000 for claiming their mice controlled germs. Their crime? “Unsubstantiated public health claims regarding unregistered products, and their ability to control germs and pathogens.” So that’s why I got all those cold sores!

Chinese-language site HKEPC is reporting that Intel’s first mobile quad-core processor will be the 45nm Penryn-based Core 2 Extreme QX9300. The chip will clock speeds of 2.53 GHz, have 12 MB of L2 Cache and 1066 MHz FSB. The QX9300, however, won’t be part of the Q2 Centrino 2 launch because it is a 45W processor and current motherboards are designed for 35W chips. [HKEPC via Register Hardware]
