Get Your Floors Clean and Cute With Hello Kitty Roomba

For homemakers who always wanted a Roomba but thought it too uncute, iRobot and Sanrio have partnered up to create a Hello Kitty-branded version of their robotic vacuum cleaner. So now not only does everybody's favorite expressionless cat protect your computer, play your music and blast away your enemies, she'll also clean your floor. Who's a good kitty? Only 500 units are made, and each will cost roughly $810. Figures—it's only available in Japan. [iRobot Japan via Dvice]

NEC Goes Hello Kitty on us with LaVie G Laptop

I have encircled my right wrist with thumb and forefinger of my left hand and am chanting, "Calm. Calm. Calm." However, it is not working. I am not calm. I am SHINING with angry pink Swarovski fury.

Hello Kitty Keyboard

I think this one is aimed at only the most hardcore geeks around. In a beautiful shade that can only be described as Pepto Bismol Puke, the Hello Kitty keyboard will bring hours of happiness to your working day. It's got quick-start buttons for email, Internet and multimedia access, a sleep and wake-up button and color-coded keys to help you learn to type. All this, plus a wrist rest, will set you back $35. Oh, and you can roll it up —after you've taken a hammer to it, that is. More »

Rent a Snario Fembot: $3,500 For Five Days

This Sanrio Actroid DER2 has more facial expressions tha previous Actroid DER, plus it's thinner and smarter (which is what really matters). She can coordinate her motions with her voice using pneumatic pressure actuators, and is generally a pretty good substitute for flesh-based Wal-Mart greeters. More »

Apple Develops Hello Kitty Television

Oho, I got you good! Apple has nothing to do with this disgusting television. It just looks like an actual apple and comes plastered with cutesy Hello Kitty images. This TV is manufactured by Sanrio and obviously isn't pink enough to be a real Hello Kitty product. More »
