<![CDATA[ Animatronic Wall-E Entertains Guests At Disneyland, Charges $5 For a Popsicle ]]> What's even better than a Wall-E robot toy made by WowWee? A Wall-E robot toy made by the animatronic people at Disney. This Wall-E robot is supposed to roam around Disneyland/Disney World entertaining patrons, but got spotted on the streets of LA panhandling and glad-handing for cash. You know who else can say their name? Timmy from South Park. Wall-E! [Slashfilm]

<![CDATA[ Hello Kitty Expands Upon Arsenal With AR-15 Rifle ]]> With previous releases, such as an AK-47 under it's belt, Hello Kitty looks poised to roll out a full army. This time around, some gun-loving nut put together a Hello Kitty-themed AR-15 assault rifle for his wife (how romantic) and posted the finished result on the interwebs for the world to see. It's so cute, it makes me want to shoot something. [Rifle Gear via Mobilewhack]

<![CDATA[ BooRu-BooRu Speakers are CuteRu-CuteRu ]]> m00000006359_pop.jpgTake any grotesque alien form, add large, ETesque eyes, and we're in love. It's a genetic weakness sure to be exploited by hostile androids that's already being exploited by Korean radio manufacturers. The BooRu-BooRu speakers not only have adorable sound coming out of their plush bodies, but radio controls on their eyes, ears and...so cute...can't resist saying it...tummies.

With MP3 connectivity (we believe through standard audio jack), the BooRu-BooRu speakers just might take the place of my Spiderman pillow...if I ever find myself hit in the crotch by an open liquid nitrogen tank and my balls freeze, fall to the ground and shatter into millions of tiny ball fragments. $37

<![CDATA[ Haro Gundam Mac Mini Case ]]> haromacmini.jpgIf you've been a Giz reader long enough, you'd remember the Gundam Haro case for mini PCs. Well, Bandai (or whoever made this) has retrofitted it for Mac minis as well. The case itself is actually more impressive in motion than it is in still shots, extending out its "ears," "legs," arms, and lighting up its arms, all while shouting annoyingly in Japanese. We suppose that's what the character's known for in the Gundam universe?

It'd actually be a pretty nice case if it weren't for the annoying animations and all that shouting. Guess it's only for Gundam fans.

Check out the video after the jump.

<![CDATA[ Bearaphin Skins + Emotibuds = Cutest iPod nano Ever ]]> These Bearaphin skins for 2G iPod nanos kind of remind me of the Care Bears, but on a bad acid trip, with their bright colors and animals sketched on their tummies. There's some function to the drug-induced cuteness, however, as the skins protect your screen and click wheel to boot, and you can wrap your headphones around their little not-honey-covered paws for easy storage. Plus, it comes with a neck strap!

emotibuds2.jpgIf your cuteness-addled brain needs still more exploding out of your pocket (or ears), just slap some Emotibuds on your earbuds—they look like they'll fit on most earbuds, so I want to see them on some Shure E500PTH's—and even the most jaded passersby should fawn—or puke—at the sight of your pimped cuted out iPod. All for about $41 total.

<![CDATA[ USB Happy-Kid Webcam ]]> The Happy-Kid webcam, from the fine folks at Brando is definitely happy. It bends around to attach to the top of your monitor in a variety of happy poses. It is ironic that such a cheerful and happy webcam is used to film you and your sick and disgusting Web shows. $19.

<![CDATA[ Friday Cuteness: Sleeping Animal Stays Warm Under a MacBook ]]>
Here is a video of an animal sleeping underneath the warmth of a MacBook. Watch it once for the cuteness, then watch it again to figure out what kind of animal it is. The video labels it as a baby squirrel, but a lot of the YouTube commenters seem to think it is a chipmunk.

<![CDATA[ Sony Won't Allow Profanity, Sex at Your Own Home's Home ]]>

While our brothers-in-arms at Kotaku seem to only care about gardens, neighbourhoods and doing "cute little waves" with their Sixaxis in Sony's upcoming PlayStation Home, here in Gizmodo we only care about one: sex the naughty bits. Apparently, Sony has decided to actively monitor public spaces for profanity and "inappropriate behaviour". And while they won't be policing private areas, they are going to enforce those "inappropriate behaviour" rules there too, following any complaints they may receive from users.

For sure, they want to protect kids and avoid the usual suspects, but wouldn't you like to be able to do and say whatever you want at your own Home's home? And what I really want to know: would people be able to show their privates in private spaces? What about some other kind of «cute Sixaxis waving»? Your answers, after the jump.

HOME - MORE QUESTIONS/ANSWERS FROM SONY [Threespeech via Playfuls]

For clarification, here's part of the original Q&A that Threespeech had with Sony:

How much freedom will people have in their private spaces?

"Our policy is not to actively police private areas, and a user cannot be invited to another user's private space until they have accepted an invitation to be on their buddy list. However, the complaints process will still operate in these private spaces, so if people feel that they have been subjected to inappropriate behaviour while in someone's private space, they will be able to lodge a complaint by the usual process."

What means of moderation will be in place for abusive language?

"We will have a basic text profanity filter, though, as noted above, text and voice will be turned off for users not of age."

You can read it the rest following the link.

<![CDATA[ Teledildonics Advanced Again: The Hug Shirt ]]> If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then the Hug Shirt adds a sensual experience to the equation, working with Bluetooth and special HugMe Java software to let you push buttons on your cellphone to hug your significant other miles away. As long as both of you are wearing this shirt that has sensors and actuators that simulate a hug, you can spread the love far and wide, transmitting data such as hug pressure, skin temperature, heart rate and hug duration.

Although it's just a design concept so far, it's yet another advance in the march toward total teledildonics, which we've been relentlessly tracking for you for a while now. Check out the pics of this babe getting hugged all over:

2hugs.jpg
3hugs.jpg
4hugs.jpg
5hugs.jpg
6hugs.jpg
This isn't the first we've seen of this concept. A year ago, someone thought of this idea of hugs-over-SMS using some sort of weird handheld device, but that just resulted in a text message on the other side. Now the touchy-feely extends to a shirt that actually tries to hug you. Where will it go next?

<![CDATA[ Kitty vs Frontrow, Follow up ]]> macbookkitty.jpgThere was some concern from our commenters yesterday after we posted the Kitty vs Frontrow video. Don't worry. The MacBook made it out okay! Michael C, friend of the MacBook owner, had this to say:
I thought I should let you and your commenters know that is my friend's macbook pro and no the kitty did not scratch up the screen and my friend didn't start the music...the cat did that :)

Everyone can breathe easy now. The MacBook made it out scratch-free.

<![CDATA[ Crane Adorable Humidifiers ]]> craneadorablehumidifiers.jpg

Usually we resent product names that tell us how we should feel about them, but the fact that Crane's line of animal-shaped humidifiers are adorable is beyond disputing. We have a dog and also live with cats, so we'd probably end up with the two at left, but the elephant and panda are nice too.

The frog, however, is so cute our heads would explode if we had to see it every day; we recommend you also avoid it. Here at Gizmodo, we care about your safety.

<![CDATA[ Gundam Kitty ROAR! ]]> Bew bew bew! You baddies better watch out, this Mobile Suit Gundam kitty is coming to kick ass and take names. This Gundam features all of the usual quirks of most other Gundams, like rockets, lasers, and super powers but also includes one more special ability. Kitty Gundam has the ability to be so damn cute that there is nothing left to do but surrender yourself to the almightiness of it. Expect to see the full length movie, Kitty Gundam, Not Your Mother's Saucer of Milk, in the near future along with the short animated series, Kitty Gundam EVO: Days of Reckoning. [Thanks, Alzorz]

<![CDATA[ When is a Shuffle Not a Shuffle? ]]> shuffle_clone_270.jpgWhen it's a Shenzen CrownFast Technology MP270, silly! This direct-from-pirate-heaven-do-not-pass-Go audio player is so Cease and Desist-tastic that it's almost like someone in China doesn't care about 'merican lawyers. Let's take a closer look, shall we? The control pad - pretty Shuffle-istic. The lanyard and cap? Nice and Shuffle-y. The switch? Looks like a Shuffle to me. But what's that blue thing? A screen? All this and a screen, too? This could be called the Mighty Shuffle!

<![CDATA[ Furgles CD Holder ]]> When life gets me down, I always like snuggle my Furgle CD holder. I give it a big hug, pull my DVD of Pocahontas from deep within its warm guts, and have a nice night... just the two of us. By no means is the Furgle supposed to replace that emptiness in your life, but being that it's cute and holding 24 CDs and/or DVDs, how could life get any better? Next time you are at Home Depot, give up on your attempts to look masculine and purchase the first and last fluffy CD holder that you will ever need.
