Nifty Technology of the Week (8/26/05)

Behold, my friends... the cellular squirrel! news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/techn...749507.stmThis delightful little electronic mammal is designed to answer people's cell phones for them, to save people the trouble of listening to annoying ringing. Apparently, it has some small capacity ofr judgement about the caller:"The squirrel answers phone calls, works out if you are busy or asleep, evaluates how important the incoming call is and takes messages.When it wants to alert its owner to a call, it waves and moves about rather than making a sound. And, it is ridiculously cute."At the present time, though, the squirrel needs to be connected to a computer, so it can't just be carried around. Which is probably a good thing, because think how ridiculous you'd look toting a wriggling animatronic squirrel under your arm.

Creepy. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Ah.You see, we don't get the BBC over here in the states unless we pay extra money for it, and even that's just "BBC America!", the dumbest thing ever. Americanized Britain? Why don't you just put up a channel of all-spongebob, all the time? It'd make a tad more sense, and the smart ones of us who actually want to watch the channel wouldn't feel offended that the cable company doesn't think we're intelligent enough to handle pure raw Britian.Bastards. Blindness Is A Blessing
