Facebook rolls out hashtag support for mobile web and related searches

Clickable hashtags are a major new Facebook feature, and now the social network is bringing them to the next level by rolling out related searches and mobile availability. We're talking about its mobile site and (unfortunately) not its iOS and Android apps, making the former a better choice for browsing public status updates on the go. The introduction of related searches also makes it easier to discover new conversations, as searching for a particular hashtag brings up similar ones. Facebook analyzes which terms are often posted together, so looking for #equality also brings up posts tagged with #lgbt or #pride. These updates will soon show up on your accounts if they haven't yet, and unless you despise hashtags, they're icing on the cake.

Video: A robot that plays ball, ?eats? cereal, dries dishes

Three friends at the University of Toronto put together a robot for a final course project that does a lot more than a Roomba.

Paul Grouchy, a student of Creative Applications for Mobile Devices at the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and friends Rene Rail-lp and Hao Yan culminated coursework with an "Android Robotic Manipulator" -- tough work for a final, but it wasn't all about screwdrivers, soldering irons and servos.

Watch as they interact with their new animated friend -- playing ball, eating cereal, even drying the dishes.

Verified video uploaded to YouTube by Paul Grouchy.

On the slightly serious side, their design shows the amazing potential for robotics -- and as soon as it can be taught to clean toilets, we'll put together some investment capital.
