The Teddy Borg is Alive!
probabilistic writes: "Check out what bored MIT students are up to -- a few of my friends, in their never-ending quest for network connectivity and female companionship, created the Teddy Borg. It might look like an innocent teddy bear, but behind the soft exterior lurks a GigaFast 5-port 10/100 ethernet switch."
I to wondered what the heck "Teddy Borg" is for....
Then I saw the poll at the end.
Desirable to geek chicks.....
Guess this is why I'd never get into MIT. These guys KNOW how to get laid!
"Bother," said the Borg. "We've assimilated Pooh."
Let's see them put a network switch inside a *real* bear. Then I'll be impressed.
He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.
Yah. I was thinking I could do the same thing with a wireless hub and a stuffed bunny (anntenne in the ears).

Well, if you didn't have an iPod, you could bring one into a computer store and leave it innocently hooked up to the ethernet port of one of the demo machines (and put a hard drive inside it, of course) and steal office apps.

What's the point of this? Maybe networking a bunch of animals together? Or the proverbial Beowulf cluster of stuffed animals?
Wow, I can see this. Put MicroATX PCs inside teddy bears... one paw for power, the other for net... create beowulf cluster...

Just watch out when your male cat starts coming in to hump the nodes. Gives a whole new meaning to "wiping data".
STOP . AMERICA . NOW
Close...

that is my Bear-Wolf cluster.

I made a quilt full of old ATX boards. it is a Tera-Mr.Floppy SuperComforter.

Put one of those wireless netcams in it. Give it to the hot chick down the hall, Instant Free DormPorn. Of course this is very illegal and I am not responsible for the beating you will recieve from her boyfriend and subsequent jail time if you get caught.

Yeah. I stopped reading right there. I don't want to know how to access the bear's ports, thank you very much!

I think they were bored. Now, I think it would really funny to put a small embedded processor in the bear with an IR receiver and transmitter. The IR receiver would harvest the signals from your TV/VCR/DVD remote control, and then the bear got "bored", it would replay those IR commands in random order
Or for the more ambitious, it could have a more powerful processor and an 802.11b interface. It would listen for wireless networks, and try to gain access. Then, of course, it would automatically run exploits against any host it found.
Either one of these bears would make a great gift for an unsuspecting recipient

you could also call it a server "farm"...
