I still remember those days when Furby came out, it was quite pricey as I was still in high school. I was pretty good to buy them for your GF…haha….but I wasn’t so much porpular in Malaysia I think but they are doing well elsewhere. For those who don’t know here is a pic.
Now Furby is back in a new version that has 500KB of memory, which is six times what the original had, and uses voice recognition to respond to its owner.
The latest Furby has a wider range of expressions, movement and vocabulary. It can laugh, smile, frown, gasp, yawn and express fear or boredom using its flexible beak, ears and eyebrows. Most intriguingly, the new Furby responds to vocal commands. If you ask Furby to tell you a joke, it will most likely deliver a knock-knock zinger.
This Furby has back, mouth and stomach sensors that respond to petting, feeding and tickling. A communications sensor in its belly can detect the presence of companion Furbies. The motors and chips inside, including a 14-megahertz processor, are powered by four AA batteries.
All priced at USD$39.99, hey it is a little cheaper now as the peg is gone.

It is great that we are able to surf and even blog online. But too bad we need to pay for it, quite expensive when we are using Ringgit Malaysia to pay. I guess is worth it when you have a lot journey and flying just issn’t any fun anymore when the journey is too long and all you can do is just eat, watch and sleep.
How it works:
Boeing uses a two-way satellite link to communicate with a network of ground-based stations. To use the service, you must create a profile for the access point in your computer’s wireless configuration client, and then visit the Connexion Web site to sign in. Connexion costs $30 on most international routes, $20 for flights of less than 6 hours, or $10 for 60 minutes of access, with each minute thereafter costing 25 cents.

Oh…did you see the remote control or do you need me to mention that as well.

This monitor seems pretty cool. A whole new meaning to the old conventional box TV in a black box. They have a lot of design with sports theme, cartoon theme, and also stylish design. This company is originated from Taiwan. I believe someone would just bring this into Malaysia soon.
Their homepage provide a lot different design. http://www.hannspree.com

Wow…this is just great. $10K to 20K is a bunch of money and this person blogs like 8-12 hours a day for 2.5years. I think he deserved it. He even got slashdotted, where I read his article. He earned them from few website. Including his Problogger.Net and you can see from the screenshot he taken which amount to USD14,436.45.
In Malaysia, this is what I call “WAHLAUEH”.

Actually it is just a fan that comes with a bottle, I think. But you can enjoy cool air because you are going to freeze the water.
Simply fill the supplied bottle with water, freeze it, place it back in the chamber and turn the power switch on. That’s it! Now you are ready to enjoy a cool, relaxing gentle breeze any time, anywhere and since it uses only natural water for cooling, the Desktop Air Conditioner is economical to use. Ideal for use wherever personal cooling is required. Requires two (2) D cell batteries. Quiet operation ideal for cubicles. DC Jack in back for use with optional adapter (sold seperately, 300mA, 3 volts).
