Bark Spot Bark:

Way to cute!

Advanced technology, new software applications and a pearl black color have been incorporated in the latest version of the robot, offering more personalized interaction, new tricks and even the ability to house sit. I'm not too sure about the house sitting part, but the stylish color variation does provide a welcome alternative against the other pearlescent-white AIBO robots in the product line. - blog

My favorite part? The house sitting.... when it start's to vacuum my house, do the dishes, and calculate my tax return, then it will be the perfect robotic dog! (Excluding its mandatory 'chase neighbor cat' functionality.)

And you thought your GF was passive aggressive...

Oh yeah baby! I have found my new cyber role model.

"The Hong Kong company Artificial Life, which developed the new game, says the girl will appear as an animated figure on the video screen of a mobile phone... On top of a general subscription, men will be charged a fee to buy flowers and gifts for the virtual girlfriend. If players neglect her, she will refuse to speak... unlike other computer games, it seems that cash, not skill, will enable players to climb the different levels in the game." - Article

I wonder if the creators of this game are the same folks that wrote the Rules book.

Love those mp3's

I adore mp3's. Almost as much as I adore ubs gadgets. :) In the running for the rubby ducky.....

The technology is quite simple: The listener goes up to the touch-screen kiosk after the show and buys the pen drive with a credit card from a dispenser alongside the screen. Once that's done, the pen drive is inserted into a slot and the recording -- in the form of MP3 files -- are loaded onto the device's 128 MB hard drive. - article

Only problem I see is the lines at the kios. Hopefully soon you can grab the music online at artist's websites as well.

Rubber Duckie your the one....

I love fun stuff for my computer. For example you can make your hard drive smell sweet.“… Arvel USB Fragrance-Oil Burners, an aromatherapy device that creates a tranquil feeling that even the worst computer crash can not disturb…” OR... Do you live in the bitter coldness that is Greenland??? “MIB's USB heating blanket, perfect for keeping warm during the winter months”

Seriously though, it just doesn’t get better then A Duckie Memory!

Ernie (or was it Burt?) would be proud. :)

Cool....

Within the first three minutes of meeting me, most everyone will get my casual statement "Have you seen my phone?" I understand I sound like a 5 year old with a new toy but come on; my phone is just so cool!

It took me awhile to be convinced that not everyone is as astounded by my cool phone like I am. It seems most people are more concerned with signal connection then game play.

"People are looking for practical applications," says Neil Strother, the author of the report. They primarily want e-mail access and location-based services. "They want to know where the closest gas station is and how to get there." When asked what they would like to do on their phone besides make calls, only 11 percent of respondents said they would like to play games. - Article

If the lack of sales of the ngage is any indication game play might be put aside for OnStar. Oh well, I'm going to play Rainbow Six on my cool phone while I still can.

My cool phone!

Mirror mirror on the wall...

Ladies, are you tired of primping, trying to watch TV while chatting online all at the same time? Every woman's desire to multi-task in a more efficient way about to be taken up a notch. Enter the Mirror/TV/Computer Monitor from Philps. - Picture

A Mirror TV is basically a two-way mirror with an LCD screen behind it. When the LCD is activated, you see the display. When it's turned off, you see your reflection. A special lamination developed by Philips makes all of this possible. - Article

Wait till this thing hits rear-view mirrors in minivans.
