 Google has purchased seven different robot companies for a secret robotics initiative and placed Android founder Andy Rubin at its head. While it's unclear what kind of robots the company will build, several people close to the project say they'll be humanoid and likely used in manufacturing, specifically electronics assembly. Rubin's new role comes as no surprise. In fact, the name Android was originally his nickname when he worked at Apple. Work has begun on the next generation of USB and just like the best athletic shorts, it'll be reversible. The new version, called Type-C, will be around the size of a micro USB. The connector is expected to be finalized by mid-2014, but in the meantime, the USB 3.0 promoter group will need to include a specification for adapters and cables so that the current versions won't immediately be rendered obsolete. Just think of all the seconds I'll save by not scrambling to figure out which side of the USB is up. And finally, Zack Snyder has his Wonder Woman. After rumors that the iconic superhero would be joining Batman and Superman in the Man of Steel sequel, Gal Gadot has been announced as the lasso of truth-wielding Wonder Woman. The Israeli actress and model is best known for her role in the last three Fast and Furious films. No word yet on how Zack Snyder plans to reimagine so many well-known characters at once, but we'll all find out when the film hits theaters in 2015. And that's it for today's top stories.
