Your own walking, talking Bender... Dog...

[on:]

Whilst reading New Scientist on the way into work this morning I came across an article that talked about behavior in dogs and Sony's robot canine pet 'Aibo'.

The article mentioned that 'Aibo' owners have become slightly bored with the limitations of the robot and have decided to hack the software that controls the dog to give it new personalities. Apparently one of the more popular characters you can give your dog is that loveable rascal, Bender!

Now if only Sony would colaborate with MG to bring us our own walking, swearing, drinkin', smokin' slice of the 31st centuary!

They'll probably come out with plastic sets of talking characters in different rooms like they did with the Simpsons.

Sorry Nix. Wasn't sure if this strictly counted as a "Moichandizing" topic... (Now where's my 'Futurama the Flame-Thrower' accessory kit I wonder?)
