The Fuzzy Wuzzy Teddy Bear USB Drive

GeekSugar — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:00:15 -0700

I'm all for crazy USB drives, but a headless teddy bear might be a tad over the top. Imagine sitting in a packed internet café and someone pulls out this cute plush toy, rips its head off and sticks its butt in the side of their laptop? Definitely an interesting conversation starter to say the least! Featured on The Raw Feed, this unique flash drive would probably be better used as a cell phone charm in Japan and not so much a practical USB drive in the U.S. To check out more Flickr pictures of this teddy in action, click here. Unfortunately for all you takers, I perused the net but couldn't seem to find where they are sold- such a shame!

Would You Date Steve Wozniak?

Kathy Griffin was on the Today Show yesterday to promote the A-List Awards, but what was more interesting was when Kathy talked about her relationship with her very tech-famous ex-boyfriend, Steve Wozniak (he rides a Segway! LOL!).

They're no longer dating, and Kathy mentioned that he'd since met someone and became engaged. How does he get the ladies?

Now, Wozniak is undoubtedly a genius computer engineer who co-founded Apple, and let's not lie, the billionaire title is not exactly a turn-off. . . but! The Woz?!

He's a billionaire, he's an Apple father, and he must be hiding some serious charm under that, um, teddy-bear exterior. Tell me - would you date him?

Monitor Your Baby With TeddyCam

Okay, I'll admit it, I got sucked into a late night screening of Meet The Parents the other night and have since been thinking about ways crafty in-laws (or yours truly) can snoop on unsuspecting guests. (I know, I'm paranoid, but sometimes I think I have very good reasons!) If you want to turn the tables on your house guests or just keep any eye on your baby, the Baby Cam Built Into a Cuddly Teddy Bear seems to be the undercover, 21st century way to do it. And, there's that whole added bonus of feeling like you have Robert De Niro's blessing to do so.

The TeddyCam has a camera built into his nose, so it can blend into any room. It also features a built-in 2.4GHz transmitter that sends video signals to the receiver you connect to your TV. Because of the device's cute disguise and actual function I figured it would be pretty expensive, but it turns out it's only $54.

Lulu Castagnette Attempts to Make Kid-Friendly Phone

GeekSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:10:08 -0800

I know kids are totally tech savvy nowadays, but cell phones that look like crib accessories are not my cup of tea. French mobile company Sagem has teamed up with fashion designer Lulu Castagnette to create these My411C model phones, which are being targeted to kids and women - since when is a teddy bear representative of both of these groups? IntoMobile explains that it's not only the exterior that is raising eyebrows, but the features are also lacking as well, as there is nothing unique or special to write home about. Lets just hope this basic phone isn't priced at designer rates.
