@Gordonium: Labs are too busy sniffing out bombs and drugs, guiding the blind, and helping disabled veterans to play video games. They're also too smart to pay $120 for a game that kinda sucks.
I think that this dog has made several cognitive breakthroughs. It understands that the screen is connected to the board and that the board can control the skater. Even understanding the "concept" of controlling something externally is completely alien to a dog.
@Gary_7vn: And could you imagine what an awesome feeling it is to wake up every day and be able to say "My dog really is better than your dog." And this time, you meant it. For real and for true.
My great dane went through the same phase. He actually ate a hole in an outside wall of my house! I broke him of chewing on electrical cords by wiring an extension cord he already chewed(unplugged fortunately) to an electric fence charger. Only took one night to fix that problem. #nature
Puppies just do this shit. Now, if your dog is 3 and he does this then I'd have to agree with you.
My puppy, now a little over a year old, ate 2 pairs or prescription sunglasses, $200 and $400 (somehow he got them off my desk, still haven't figured that out), chewed through the cord to our Dyson Vac, $40, ate a lamp cord (yet to be repaired) has shredded numerous pare of socks and underwear (always dirty, go figure), ate the power cord on my brand new mac book power supply ($79), he got the charger to my wife's bluetooth charger, and to her cellphone as well (we had a spare) a couple of rugs, and a bunch of other shit I can't remember. Now he doesn't do any of that stuff. #nature
I worked in an auto parts store that had an ancient TRIAD computer system. It used two huge hard drives, mirrored: one went home with the boss every night.
All was well until data started to disappear. TRIAD's computer techs went nuts for three days looking for the problem. Finally, the boss came out and said, "It's fixed, but the data that disappeared is gone."
I asked what had happened, and he said, "It was a bug on the hard disk."
I wasn't satisfied: "What kind of bug? An electrical problem? A software error?"
He was pretty exasperated. "Come up here and look, smartass."
There it was: the electrified remains of a small insect, fused down into the magnetic media. #nature
@Snes: My pitbull had a habit of eating her leash. So I tried to use Tabasco to stop this. I came home to find only the metal pieces remaining. #nature
I don't understand what's so gross about this. A dog is a mammal and so are humans. For the most part, we eat similar foods. If it's clean enough for your dog, it's logically clean enough for humans as well. Ever heard of the 5 second rule?
Yet another friggin germophope!!! The only difference is that now someone managed to give you the ability to post useless opinions on gizmodo. #autofetchmotionpetballpettoy
@drsmith: It's because even humans being mammals just like dogs, there's a difference: We can communicate and express our own tastes regarding food.
Grossness isn't only about germs and being clean enough. For instance, pee is mostly germ free and, at least for most of us, it's still gross to drink it.
Safe to say you don't have a two-year-old, Rosa? My sister has to wear out my niece every night to get her to sleep--they even call it "running the puppy." This sounds like a perfect gadget for them. #autofetchmotionpetballpettoy
@met2art: Hahaha - Oh god, just imagine what would be happening in that scene when the timpani starts doin' its thing in the song. #autofetchmotionpetballpettoy

tl;dr - Gross isn't the same as "not being clean". #autofetchmotionpetballpettoy
