Sony Aibo Hacks Increase Functionality

Posted by samzenpus on from the can-it-bring-me-a-beer dept.

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."

    Bestiality is illegal, right? I think it is anyway. Certainly it's frowned upon. But sex with robot dogs is legal (except maybe in Texas). It seems to me that a voice controlled dog could fill a much needed niche of providing an outlet for those inclined towards bestiality but who don't wish to break the law. Voice control could be particularly useful. It could be trained to respond to commands like "more", "less", "harder", "up a bit" and so on. In fact, it might be more controllable than a real dog and would certainly obviate the need to smear your testicles with meat to gain the dog's interest.

    How washable is the Aibo?

  2. Use the dog as a camara by guardiangod · · Score: 0, Troll

    Use a ZipIt handheld device to view through the eyes of your AIBO at all times.

    Forget Sony's infrared V8 or hidden camara phone, THIS is the ultimate tool of peeping!!

    Imagine, when those unsuspecting ladies pick the trojan^H^H^H^H^H^Hrobot up and hold it to their chest, you, as an elite geek, is seeing the first hand (ok second hand) look of their boobs.
    Or rather, if you like, you could have the camara^H^H^H^H^H^Hdog hump a lady and direct it to look up. The lass would be too daze to know your cunning scheme.

    The possibility is endless ;) /joke
