Microsoft Compares Android to an Adorable Puppy

At first glance, this quote by Windows Manager James DeBragga doesn’t make much sense. But it’s actually a relatively reasonable metaphor. He compares Android to a puppy thusly: sure, you can get a puppy for free, but then you’ve gotta housebreak it, take it for walks and train it. It takes a lot of work…

Make Your Dog Bionic with a Solar Panel

Dogs are lovely creatures, but they aren’t all that useful. Sure, they provide companionship, but any animal can do that. That’s why I love turning your dog into a cellphone charger using solar panels. [Recombu via Make]
