Check out these movies of a new robo pet. It's a cat, and it has real looking fur, etc:

Sometimes when it moves, you can see the joints jerk, but still...

The article says it's $1,500 in Japan.

Do you have the Quicktime plugin for your bowser? That be the format.

Or the inevitable "reformat". SO it hasn't been long since you re-installed Windows, but reformatting has been much longer?

I've got 2 computers to feed!
Is it too late to take advantage of the $52 deal for XP Pro (including shipping and lava lamp)? Full version, from what I understand.

Nope, see it is no where neat real. ;)

They sould have it do some of those things. Just put some liquid inside to make it pee at random times. Put some razors on it's claws, also.
