Meet Nabaztag

You may be wondering if this is the next generation of Furby...but no, this is for adults. And, no, this Rabbit is not used to pleasure your vagina. Though it could be confused for that based on part of it's description...

"I'm 23 cm tall, I wriggle my ears, I sing, I talk and my body lights up and pulsates with hundreds of colours."

This bunny is actually used for communication...and pretty much everything else. With WiFi access, Nabaztag can sing, talk, or light up to let you know about the stock market, the weather, or traffic jams.

You can also use Nabaztag to communicate with your friends. Nabaztag will notify you of or read your e-mails, text messages, phone calls, etc. You can also send MP3s through it. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. You can let someone know that you're thinking of them by moving your Nabaztag's ear...and their Nabaztag's ear will move to the same position!!!

Some testimonials/scenarios from the site...

"All of a sudden, my Nabaztag starts flashing and sings "I JUST CAAAAAAAALED TO SAAAAAY I LOOOOVE YOUUUUUUU ". It's my boyfriend Nick sending me a song. He's thinking of me! My heart just skipped a beat."

"'Hey mah friend, why don'ta you come outta your burrrrow for a dreenk with-a your amici...' Nabaztag is talking in the raucous tones of your pal Umberto. He wriggles his ears, just like Umberto talks with his hands."

"Paris, 15:09. My Nabaztag's ears are moving. Virginie has just got to her office in New York. It's a secret code between us. When she moves her Rabbit's ears, the ears on mine move at the very same time."

Bunnies are going to take over the world.

netzero, for realz this time

Google, Blogger's parent company, is planning to take over the world one market at a time. The company that runs the world's most popular search engine is working on creating a WiFi network that will cover all of San Francisco. Not only will the city become one large hotspot, but also access with be free.


WiFi, the San Francisco treat


Google will support the endeavor with online ads, and there is speculation that similar hotspots could be set up around the country within a few years.
AOL, I think it's time to call it quits.

and you thought the nano was cool...

Word on the street is that Apple has something brewing.

Have you noticed that the music video section of iTunes is scarcely being updated? I have. Everytime I go to the page I encounter the funny face of Jermaine Dupri looking down on me. What's up with this? AOLMusic and mtv.com suck for Apple users, leaving them unable to experience their favorite pop music videos. iTunes used to be my salvation...until they stopped these updates. WHY, WHY, WHY?????

The answer is not too far away. Apparently, the video section of the music store is going to be reinvented in the near future...allowing usage of the new iPod Video. Right now...it's just a rumor, but the new iPod Video could be out as soon as next week.

The iPod Video will be similar to the 60GB iPod, but thinner. The click wheel will be smaller (similar to the iPod Nano), leaving room for a higher-resolution color display longer than previous generations of iPods.

Here is a picture of the supposed new iPod...
