Nabaztag the WiFi Bunny
carre4 writes "A French company named Violet, the smart object company, has come out with Nabaztag, a 23 cm tall WiFi-enabled bunny that tells you about the weather, traffic jams, new emails through flashing lights and moving its ears. They have a Flash demo with Nabaztag's different messages. The company also makes 'La lampe Dal', a lamp that changes colors based on the weather and 'Le Pad Osmooze', a USB device that releases an aroma when you receive an email from a loved one."

Or how about a cute, plush Tux that burps real rancid herring smell everytime a kernel patch is released? A Hello Kitty the spits up a real simulated hairball when there's a sale at Penney's?
Boy, this technology stuff sure is fun. The future's so bright I have to go barf.

Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
Does it also tell you when the world is going to end?

Uh oh, I think your ex just sent you an email. This smells bad. Really bad.

This does look like a really fun idea, but if only I could get it in something other than a rabbit... Maybe a 23cm Hooters girl?
