Aquavision Towel Warmer With TV and Mirror

Freezing your freshly washed parts off as soon as you step out of the shower? With Aquavision’s towel warmer, you can wrap yourself in pre-heated goodness so you’ll never wake the dog with another loud post-bath sneeze.

Not only does this warm towels, it also has a TV and a mirror. Bathe while watching TV, then look at yourself when you’re done to see what an extravagant bastard looks like.

Microsoft Fingerprint Reader Firefox Extension

Microsoft Fingerprint Reader may look cool and be very useful in storing your passwords, but it’s lousy when it comes to working with Firefox. We found this out the hard way last year when we purchased a reader and it didn’t work a lick with Firefox.

Now there’s a Firefox extension that allows a workaround for the reader software to recognize Firefox as a valid fingerprint capable app. Wee! Yet another way for us to pretend we’re Tom Cruise.

USB MyPet Puppy and Monkey Webcam

Lovers of cute things (and the Japanese) will snatch up this USB MyPet Webcam that comes in both monkey and puppy models. Supporting up to 640×480 at 15 frames per second, this webcam is perfect for the girlfriend that hates tech.

Readers could also use it to spy on a victim who doesn’t know this is a webcam. A very dumb victim.

South Korean company DasaTech is looking to fill the robot-dog-void left when Sony discontinued the AIBO recently. Looking at the sample video, we can say that the Genibo’s motion isn’t very smooth — more like quick and jerky. Pretty much what you would expect of a robotic dog that hasn’t been a couple cycles of product development.

These look like they would be pretty fun for kids, and Japanese studies have seen that robotic dogs have garnered smiles from patients suffering from Alzheimers. We just hope this one doesn’t do “two hour yipping sessions”, or else we’re going to hear a lot of “ROBO PUPPY MISTREATMENT ALERT!”
