Dinglenuts writes "Engadget posted a how-to article on increasing your Aibo's functionality using third party hacks. Given the increasing availability of networked home goods, I'm very interested to see what uses the Slashdot community can conceive for a household controlled through voice commands issued to a robot dog."

    Better hack: remove the innards, place a live puppy inside.

    Makes it far more realistic.

    Aibo needs a guard function for the neighborhood cats. Just bark and move a bit when there's any meowing around. If they pee on my door one more time, I'm gonna' set bear traps.

    Lets make a mobile "keg-bot"

    And make the tap a long tube sticking out, and you've got yourself a Dalek! Throw your computer in there and you'd win the local LAN party's case mod contest for sure!
