Upgrade Your Dog
ptorrone writes "Engadget has glimpse in to the future, a future where your dog has a cell phone, webcam and electronic tag, and maybe even talks to you. Maybe. Some of this dog-tech isn't available yet, and some of it is (in Japan, of course). The overview includes some interesting iterations of pet technology, and they even made their own version of a dog webcam along with the first ever canine photographer's photo gallery." I'd rather see more of these things applied to infants.
...Yellow Dog Linux, maybe?
Of course, every few years, when you upgrade your dog, you can use some parts from your previous dog, and sell the rest on ebay.

My dog already seems to be fairly well equipped...
Oops, I promised the producer I wouldn't say anything.
Can they implant something that house trains my puppy? Two weeks now and he still shits and pisses on my computer...

Let us know how it works out.
maybe even talks to you.
Thet do that normally after a while. Be patient.
There's only one thing that dog should be able to do, and as far as I can tell, that's been covered already.
That's right, Rolfie. Come to papa with his brandy.
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
This sounds neat and interesting....until you realize (afterwards, of course) that the dog was in the room watching you have sex.....

I was just reading about how nerds will rule the world because "A nerd, ...is someone who concentrates on substance.".
And then I read this. And I think to myself... is there more than one definition for "nerd"?
I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.

I'm a proud parent of a newborn young girl. The first thing I did after getting her home from the natural birthing center was to install a subdermal electronic tag so she can't escape. Second, since I'm a good dad, I bought her a cell phone (an N-Gage even!) with a 700 minutes/month plan. Third, I enrolled her in ESL classes, cause she sure damn can't speak English yet. I don't understand a word she says!
Until later,!

I already get tons of e-mails telling me they can upgrade my "dog" by adding a few extra inches.

Your Soviet Union wants steak.
Your dog wants the $50 mail-in rebate coupon.
Your dog wants first hydrant, err, post.
Your dog wants karma. (Or would it be your 'Slashdog'?)

When Dog came back two hours later, the pager was not to be found. Expensive lesson for all involved.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
