Now this isn’t really the toy that you and your merry pack of colleagues should get while working in the office as it certainly won’t catch the affection of your boss’ eye. The USB MSN Missile Launcher now functions with MSN, allowing you to take aim at your friends on MSN thanks to the webcam retrofitted onto the USB Missile Launcher. There is a 5 meter range with this thing, and having just three missiles per round isn’t going to cut it, so you will need to take aim carefully. Guess you can finally bring a semblance of the Worms game into the office (or home) with the USB MSN Missile Launcher. Interested office juveniles can pre-order a set for themselves today, and shipping will commence on the 18th this month. The USB MSN Missile Launcher retails for $49.00 and comes with three foam missiles, while an additional pack of 3 missiles will set you back by $3.

We Are Doomed

The end of the world is nigh. Robots that look cute and nothing like the machines they are, will be taking over the world – and all while we are misdirected by their "cuteness."
Meet the UGOBEâ„¢ Life Form which defines itself as, "looks, moves, and behaves in ways that trigger a ‘belief of life.’ Specifically, Pleo has organic body language, exhibits evolving emotions, is aware of his surroundings and has recognizable behaviors that change over time."
Scary, huh?

Tengu Lip Syncing USB

USB ports are precious commodities, but unplug something to play with Tengu, the USB lip syncer. Just a plaything, but it will lip sync whatever is coming out of your speakers with its digital mouth and facial expressions. Video

World Listens While Argos iTeddy Defines World Peace

Okay, so Argos hasn’t really invented a teddy bear guru. Instead, it’s the iTeddy, an MP3 player with LCD, speakers, and 512MB of RAM (which seems a little light, given all the space available). The media player is detachable, and there’s an SD slot. Should be available soon for $123.


RC2 Makes Super-Cool Toy Robot

I can just imagine the conversation with my wife, as I try to convince her to let me by this RC2 V_Bot for our terribly misbehaving son. "But honey, look! It’s three toys in one! It morphs into a car, a Transformer, and a speaker station! I mean, come on, how much cooler could it be?" After I recovered from the wounds, given the thing’s $267 pricetag, I’d come to my senses and remember that my son hasn’t been a paragon of good behavior lately. But maybe someday!
