Wabbit Karotz watches your home innocently, cutely.

Wabbit Karotz watches your home innocently, cutely.

I’m not so sure what this wabbit is. It’s from Nabaztag family, dubbed the “Karotz”. The WiFi rabbit runs on Linux, with a 400MHz ARM CPU, 64MB of RAM and 256MB of storage, so it should have plenty of headroom for that vibrant hacker community that sprung up around the first two Nabaztags. Karotz can also run off batteries or be plugged in via USB, and has the same RFID reader functionality of the Nabaztag/tag. The biggest new feature is a webcam, which will purportedly have face recognition (to be paired with Nabaztag’s existing voice recognition), along with allowing you to check up on your home from a smartphone app. Read more…

Touchscreen devices are very dirty, maybe kinky too.

In love with touchscreen phones and slates? Think again. Perhaps it’s a good idea to stick to your QWERTY smartphone for the moment. A Stanford University study found that if you put a virus on a touchscreen surface, about 30-percent of it will probably make its way to your fingertips. That’s where the journey starts. Read more…

Shinobii's table tennis bat for Wii hitting shelves soon for $70

This is your Wiimote, and yes it’s also an actual Tabletennis paddle, or we call it, Ping Pong pad. Made by Shinobii Technologies, this TT Champion Bat is said to be a tree 1:1 replica of an actual table tennis paddle in both size and weight. Yes, the weight includes the electronics required to interact with the Wii console too. So, this is pretty much your Wiimote.

There’s also a rechargeable battery within to keep things humming along, and best of all, it’ll soon be available online and at traditional video game retailers throughout the EU and North America for $69.99. Makes me very curious how it feels to play Ping Pong like that?

RIM promises an improvement for BlackBerry app developers, but developers don’t feel good

They’ve promised some new measures to woo new developers, while making the lives of current ones somewhat easier. Read more…
