We’ve seen plenty of speculation on this date, but thanks to a quick email from Microsoft reps — and a handy post on the Windows Blog — we now have confirmation.

End transmission… and bust out the champagne.

I remember a time long ago when I used to visit these very strange stores. I guess you would call them stores, but they were really more of a rental shop. Anyway, you would walk in and find the walls lined with movies that you could take home for a few days in exchange for several dollars. Of course if you didn’t bring them back by the designated time, you would be charged a fee. I hated those fees. Eventually technology advanced and no one needed to visit these stores anymore. You could either watch what I wanted by streaming it online, or with a few clicks have the movies sent to you via snail mail. Those companies that didn’t evolve to embrace the new technologies eventually died out, leaving only empty buildings in their wake.

It’s stories like that which I’m going to be able to tell my kids not long from now. Blockbuster, the largest movie rental store looks like it will be closing up in short order. They really don’t have much to offer the tech-savvy customers anymore, and rely on those that either haven’t hopped on the streaming bandwagon or are too impatient to wait a few days for their movie to arrive. Even if Blockbuster manages to find some more funding, I don’t suspect that they (or other movie rental shops) will survive more than a few years.

This week on BotJunkie, we kicked things off watching a LEGO NXT bust some spastic dance moves, learned how to use a robot to hit on chicks, read about a Roomba that hides from you when you’re angry, got introduced to the latest version of Toshiba’s round and chubby ApriAttenda robot, wondered how it’s possible to effectively spy on anyone with a robot blimp, contemplated spending a little money on a $1 robot t-shirt, enjoyed St. Patrick’s Day just a little bit more thanks to a performance by Bar2D2, worried less about our mortgage thanks to a transforming robot home on wheels, were impressed by a transforming robot jet toy, watched a PackBot follow a human and respond to gestures, drooled over some juicy tomatoes tended by robot gardeners, laughed at an Army Future Combat System promotional video that probably isn’t supposed to be funny, wondered whether pollution sensing robot fish taste any good when filleted, saw some oh-so-cute pictures of a miniature Wall-E, watched a hacked Roomba drive off with a baby, and finished off the week with a Sony patent for a video game robot.

And don’t forget about Friday’s Bot With Stuff (DeLorean edition!), after the jump.

They finally, really did it. Have you been lugging around that G1 and a GPS unit, grunting disdainfully every time you have to bust the latter out? Well it looks like TeleNav has heard your cries of disgust. The company is officially launching its turn-by-turn GPS navigation for the Android-powered device come February 24th. The software will feature full color 3D graphics, speech recognition, one-click rerouting, and traffic alerts, as well as weather updates, gas prices, and restaurant reviews (the PR claims over 10 million business and services). The service will launch with a 30-day free trial, after which it’ll run you $9.99 a month. While we can’t say we’re too stoked on the price, it’s still not too terrible of a fee to pay to actually put that GPS chip to use (and save some room in your glove compartment). Convergence: we’re almost there.

If Apple’s sat back and let the iPhone hacking community do its thing in peace (well, relative peace) so far, this little gem just might be what the doctor ordered to stir up the crap. Crackulous — available now in beta form through Cydia — claims to be able to strip the protection off most apps downloaded from the App Store, meaning that just a single user needs to take the plunge and buy a target app once to get it busted and into free circulation. You need a jailbroken iPhone to get Crackulous loaded, naturally — you’ll see Apple make a Windows Mobile-powered device before you’ll see Crackulous in the App Store — but seeing how PwnageTool is dead simple to use, this puts most users just a couple graphical tools away from foolproof piracy and the golden opportunity to take a few hard-earned bucks out of a programmer’s pocket.
