Thats really expensive
should cost less
mostbrobably barley anyones gonna buy it
you could buy a couple of houses with 1,000,000

I would buy it if it was 500 or less cause thats a rip off

1 million dollars.

an object for the super rich kids of the world to throw around, and hopefully post YouTube videos of this thing on fire, aka Furby 3.0

lololololol! Brilliant! But still, I hate you guys!!! :-) I’m a real science journalist / documentary film producer and I fast forwarded to the end of the Yorkie video and only watched it a few seconds — and thought the dog was a FAKE — it’s eyes weren’t moving — and I just spent 20 minutes trying to find other footage of this thing. HYSTERICAL! : ) My husband just came in and made me watch more of the video to show me the dog was real. So funny — I know, it’s frightening I get paid to work for PBS when I can’t distinguish a real dog from a robot. PLUS I grew up with Yorkies. Time for early retirement. Loved your last line: “Thanks for bringing the prototype by!” You are too funny — Your new biggest fan, CA

The disappointment I felt when I read that the dog was a joke was only made worse when I saw that they weren’t even making robots all. They’re making a furby that interacts with flash games and downloads audio feeds. Bullshit.

Actually it’s a terrific Idea, I’m currently working on making just such a robot ( a secretary/Ipod base/feed reader that can hold and charge my phone and look like a neat work of art while it tells me news and weather). I bought a iRobot Create and plan on making a neat art shell, with that software as a base, I think I could do it well. I wish they would have come to me to create the prototype.

Well, if I understand correctly, these folks want to do a bot that interacts with the net, using the premise of branded toys. It’s an old idea. Can you see kids and adults carrying around teddy bears that yammer about the local Starbuck’s special?
