The Gadgets WeblogTalk of Tech Tools and ToysI Know There is a Line - Does the Female RoboSapien Cross It- June 30, 2008 This Femisapien, made by WowWee, is odd; it just is. You see, it is a female robot complete with a dancing mode, female walk, emotive sound language, and a kissing mode. No, I am not making this up, and yes, it is a bit creepy. The Femisapien has a few modes: Attentive mode where she wanders, observes and dances in an interactive way. Learning mode where you teach her the dances you want her to do. Responsive Mode where she dances those sexycreepy little dances you taught her. Love mode (not..http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/i_know_there_is_a_line_does_the_female_robosapien_c... DXG-567V- June 27, 2008 It must be a new trend to make these easy-to-use cameras that easily upload video footage to YouTube. The other day, I covered the Casio EX-Z9, and now there is the recently released DXG-567V. Like the EX-Z9, the DXG-567 has a simple three-step process to upload this HD camcorder&39;s footage directly to Internet video sites. Another terrific feature is that a user can connect the camcorder to any HD TV to view its footage. You can purchase the DXG-567 at general markets like Best Buy and.http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/dxg567v.php HP Releases the Tempting TouchSmart 2 PC- June 27, 2008 I am a Mac person. To be honest, unlike some Apple Fanatics, it is less about the OS (but I do love OS X) and more about the physical designs and looks of things. The fact of the matter is that the new iMacs are just sexy. My MacMini is perfectly small and practical. Windows Machines, for what ever reasons, have never tempted me- until now. The HP TouchSmart 2 PC is now shipping, and it is the first Windows OS michine that has tempted me. The styling (a bit iMacish), touchscreen, small...http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/hp_releases_the_tempting_touchsmart_2_pc.php Live Luggage- June 26, 2008 On the Live Luggage website, this quote is given: "How is it we put a man on the moon 40 years before the idea of power assisted luggage". To be honest, I don&39;t know why we never tried to market automated wheels on suitcases before. The Live Luggage also has "anti-gravity handles", and the power will last about 2 hours. I am assuming that it is charged by hooking it to the wall. I don&39;t travel much, so I don&39;t think I could justify a purchase of the Live Luggage, as it costs...http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/live_luggage.php JVC LCD Flat Panel is Bigger, Lighter, Better- June 26, 2008 JVC is hitting the streets soon with new, large, light, and sexy flat screen monitors.

I have 3 at home, an iPhone, a desktop at work, a PS3 and a Wii. Even if you don&39;t count the gaming systems and the iPhone, I am still 4 computers.

I didn&39;t understand why a person wouldn&39;t just take a laptop into a classroom and type their notes. Then, headlines on campuses banning laptops in classrooms started circulating the internet. Now it makes more sense. The new Lightscribe Pulse Smartpen, which looks like a pen so it won&39;t get banned, is capable of recording hours of lectures while simultaneously digitizing your handwriting. That way, you...http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/50226711/go_back_to_school_with_a_lightscribe_pulse_smartpen...
