Fuji has come out with this cute little robot. Don’t be fooled! Just because it’s cute doesn’t mean that it can’t try to take over the world. Sure, they’re small now. That’s just like the door hardware to world domination- they start off all cute and 15″ tall… then, we start buying bigger robots… they wash our dishes , drive our cars… before you know it, everyone has at least one, if not two or three robots.
Then, one day, when the numbers are right, BAM! Mass robot rebellion. There’s blood everywhere, cars are crumbled in the streets and everyone is dead. All thanks to this cute little robot. See what you’ve gone and done?
Just in case you wanted to actually read about this robot, here you go, but don’t say you weren’t warned!
It should come as no surprise to anybody that the world’s first sex robot is a woman. I mean, everybody knows that we’re obsessed with sex. Now, imagine a guy who needs to lose a little weight… do you think he’d rather shell out a few grand on top of the line ellipticals , or a new sexbot? Also, this is one workout that you won’t get burned out on. On the gross side, you’re going to have to clean it.
Ewww. I hear that next year, this same company is coming out with a version for women- it doesn’t have a penis, but it does the dishes and takes out the trash. I kid, I kid… actually, it does household chores for the first year or so, then at some point it stops doing housework and it just sits around the house watching football and drinking beer.

Ever wonder how technology will change surfing? No? Me neither. And now I don’t have to, as I’ve seen the future of surfing, and it looks like it could become a very expensive video game. I mean, look at that place- this guy can’t even afford area rugs ! Ah, the lengths guys will go to for a bit of video game action.
Speaking of video games, I’ve been addicted to the most recent Banjo-Kazooie video game on the 360. I begrudginly admit that this game is loads and loads of fun. Of course, you have to like driving a little to enjoy this game. The real appeal is creating new machines out of a bunch of parts- it kinda reminds me of playing with LEGOs.
I would proudly rock out to this sweet looking retro transformers MP3 player. It is totally awesome, and reminds me of the ipod of my day- the walkman. I spent many an hour walking around, riding the bus and rocking out with my headphones on. Batteries were in high demand, and I would sometimes rewind my cassettes by hand to save some juice. That isn’t an issue with this SD-card enabled MP3 player. All it needs is a little cassette that turns into some sort of quadroped, and I think I might just jizz in my pants from retro-nostalgia glee.
I can sum up my thoughts on Motoman in four words: Most. Romantic. Robot. Ever. Seriously, I’ve never met a robot that actually cooked breakfast for me them morning after. They usually just slip out quietly, leaving a twenty on the nightstand. All this time I thought robots were going to take over the world, when it turns out that they just want to take me home. Oh sure, they’ll sweet talk you about going on vacation to the Outer Banks , but the only place they really want to get is in your pants. But not Motoman, with his rough, yet gentle “hands” that can assemble intricate machines in minutes.
Ah Bender, the drinking-est robot known to prime time television. Now he has a soul mate in the real world: a robot that serves beer! These two would be a match made in heaven, provided they could bridge the cartoon-reality gap. Only in my dreams, only in my dreams. Until then, this video of the beertending bot will have to suffice!
I'm crazy about technology... literally! Here at Pixel-Shack, you'll read about hot tech trends, zany gadgets, sweet rides and the occasional video game related tidbit.
