One of the most interesting bits out of last month’s Microsoft Build conference was the How Old robot that spread like wildfire on the Internet. In short, you upload a photo of anything that resembles a face, and the bot will attempt to guess the age and gender of the person identified using face-recognition technology. Now, it appears the company has integrated this technology into its Bing image search, offering to guess the age of the person you’re searching for. So the How Old Robot is built into Bing image search now. Definitely new. (CC: @bdsams @mehedih_) pic.twitter.com/UVyrL0sCSW — Andrew Bennett…

When developer Stavros Korokithakis was refused a landline in his new office by the phone company, he took that anger and put it to good (and ridiculous) use – turning an old rotary phone into a mobile handset. He says the whole project, which uses open-source code, an Arduino, a GSM shield and, of course, that orange rotary phone, took about two days to complete and cost a grand total of $150.
