Plustech Walking Machine

oy_walker.jpgJoel is out gallivanting across New Orleans and has presumably found his way to CTIA, where he'll be reporting from soon. Meanwhile, he's left the lot of you in my capable hands, with this message: Caveat emptor. That being said, let's get down to it. Plustech Oy (a John Deere subsidiary) has unleashed their Walking Machine¡Xan indispensable, six-legged log-hauling machine that I would also assume can eat orphanages and other small buildings with ease. In reality, the Walking Machine can determine ground pressure and adjust the machine's six shoes appropriately, allowing it to traverse various terrains. It's also able to detect and avoid obstacles, simply stepping over things in its path. All that conveniently controlled by a simple, single joystick.

See Inside Your Fish Tank

underwatertank_small_1_.jpgSo we missed this when Red Ferret Journal first talked about it last week, but shiny shiny just picked it up, bless their hearts. The Underwater Tank is an aquarium with a reverse periscope, allowing you to peer into the hearts and souls of your fish, with a feeder positioned right near the scope's lens, letting you watch them eat.

The periscope lets you inspect your fish at their own level, and a fish feeder has been positioned right by the scope's lens, so you can watch your fish feed. Use slow gentle movements so you don¡¦t create turbulence in the water and disturb or frighten your fish.
Or you can look at this the way I do: as a $50.00 Fish Blender.

Sony PSP Size Comparison

PSPcomparebig.jpgBrian at Kotaku got a loaner PSP from Sony. That means that now, according to a tradition that spans 50 years, since the time of the first transistor, I must kill him.
