digicosm2 writes "In honor of AIBO's fourth anniversary, Sony announced some new AIBO-related things today, including a new 'Cyber-Blue' color. But more interesting is the 'AIBO EYES' software, which allows you to control AIBO from anywhere in the world, via email. You can even receive snapshots of your home from him to your mobile phone! Might make a great (and unobtrusive) security camera or webcam..." I just want them to produce the Cerberus ? version.

  3. Aibo? Sony? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Aren't these the people who sued a web site owner for releasing code he wrote to make his Aibo dance, under the DMCA? Should we really be promoting a company that files criminal charges against geeks for making their robot dogs dance? Shouldn't we at least force Sony to buy an Aibo ad on Slashdot to support our efforts to fight their perversion of law?

    A vote for Aibo is a vote against geek freedom. Pick your side.
