Unofficial AT&T U-verse Beta Test Blog

Multichannel News reports that AT&T has been quietly beta-testing its IPTV product, U-Verse, in San Antonio, but it now has a potential nightmare client -- a technology savvy blogger.

Alan Weinkrantz, a local San Antonio PR firm owner, will begin to detail his impressions of the product and relate the "save" offer made to him when he dropped his Time Warner Cable and Roadrunner service at his blog site. He intends to continue his very public ongoing review throughout his four-month trial of the product.

Weinkrantz has technology clients, although AT&T is not one of them, he stressed. "I don't hate the phone company. I don't hate the cable company. I'm just having fun," he said of the blog. So far, he misses his Time Warner-delivered HDTV and his digital-video-recorder service, he said. But he's impressed that his television screen now has its own IP address and he likes having a home media gateway controlling three TVs, he added.

Embodied AI Robots: Market Upside Trends

Embodied AI is shifting industrial robotics from precise to perceptive — from rigid automation to adaptive execution in messy, variable production environments. For manufacturers and logistics providers, this isn't just a technology upgrade; it's a structural change in how work gets organized and business value gets created. Industrial robots have long excelled in static workflows: automotive assembly, fixed production lines, repetitive tasks. Where variability or human interaction arose, they stalled or required prohibitive engineering. Embodied AI Market Development Embodied AI changes this by closing the "sim-to-real" gap. According to the latest worldwide market study by ABI Research, AI-augmented robots have reached genuine adaptive automation with tangible ROI for early adopters. The shift rests on robust algorithms — particularly Dynamic Policy Adjustment and robotics foundation models — that learn and adapt in real time rather than following hard-coded rules. ...
