Each week, Ariel Waldman serves a tasting of the latest in sex and tech.
Spin The Bottle With A Circuit Board
It's only fitting that all the good ol' games get updated for the new generation of hormonally-frustrated tweens. Flirtation through mobile phones can only get you so far, thus an electronic version of "spin the bottle" was created. Designed to help kick off that first kiss that you've been waiting your whole decade of life for, this toy uses sounds and lights to alert you. At 17 quid (we're guesstimating double that in dollars), it may be hard to justify your hard-earned milk money on making out, but desperate times may call for desperate measures.
Roomba Increases Suction, No Word Yet on Woomba
Robotic Roombas continue to be all the rage among open interface fans. Announced recently on Amazon, the new 560 Roombas are in. Features include an anti-tangle technology as well as infrared beams for setting up invisible barriers. While the shiny new robot is all exciting, we were a little disappointed to not see any Woomba integration in this model. Woomba, you know, "the robot that cleans your business". Perhaps if we poke our fellow hacker friends enough, they'll help make the little pink robot a reality.
Nerds On Desks
Totally dreamy, Nerds On Desks seems to be the latest (give or take a couple decades) tech fetish craze that we can only hope turns into a Flickr meme. Boing Boing points to the paired Bill Gates and Steve Jobs photos. The starry-eyed CEOs pose to our dorky delight. A quick tag search reveals that no one has yet to satiate this tech fetish meme, but as true geeks, we're used to disappointment.
