The Teddy Borg is Alive!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the always-was-suspicious-of-those-things dept.

It might look like an innocent teddy bear, but behind the soft exterior lurks a GigaFast 5-port 10/100 ethernet switch."

    I have to agree...just what was the point?

    Bored indeed.

    This has to be the gayest thing, ever. We're talking LIberace gay here. If this made /. today, what will make it tomorrow? PaWz 3.0 goes gold! Delicious chocolates for your sweetheart from Godiva!

    Definitely a slow news day.

    someone takes a knife, slits open a bear, stuffs a switch in it and it's news...
    and people are impressed because the letters MIT are mentioned. Good grief..

    Any moron can do this.. there is nothing smart, clever, or special about this.

    How about my 10/100 switch inside my Ovation celeberity Guitar? or a 10/100 switch inside my toaster oven, toolbox, couch cusion (networked couch!) la-z-boy, VCR (I have a 5 port switch that will fit in the slot!) BOOK! I can hollow out a book!

    Please... look to see if they actually did something impressive instead of going posting just because it said MIT on the page.
