Botropolis: This week in robotsAnother week has come and gone. As usual, we’ve been keeping tabs on all things robot over at Botropolis. We haven’t had any reports of muscle-bound freaks appearing naked in the street and asking after John Connor, but hell, it’s only 2009. Still, we’re keeping our eyes peeled and we are your first line of defense. When they do strike, we will be ready with up to the minute updates. Here’s some of what we covered this week.

Magic: Octavia the robot gets fooled.

RoboFlush: For the extremely lazy.

T-Shirt: Robots In Disguise.

Fall Out Boy: New Robot Comic Books.

Clairvoyant watch for the rich & foolish

Posted in Watches by Conner Flynn on March 25th, 2009

Clairvoyant watch for the rich & foolishRemember mood rings? Even if you aren’t old enough, you’ve heard about them. Yeah, this is like that, only geared toward rich idiots. This watch is timekeeping merged with fortune telling. Swiss watchmaker Borgeaud has gone all superstitious and teamed up with Indian fortune tellers to craft a watch that will foresee the future.

Whenever things are about to take a turn for the worse in your life, that kidney-shaped section on the watch will turn brown. (Many people do this same voodoo with their underwear. Though unknowingly) The Borgeaud site states that “the watch automatically displays a daily 90-minute period called the Raju Kaal, which is believed to be a terrible time to make important decisions or start new projects.” Once the dark forces have left, the watch will then return to its normal color.
