Like most serpents, Roboboa is just a little mysterious. He’s a smart desk light, a scanning room guard, and….a disco marquee? Roboboa is the latest creation of mad robotics scientist Mark W. Tilden, creator of the Robosapien, Robosapien V2, Roboraptor, and Robopet to name a few. (I still remember having a blast with Biobugs, Mr. Tildens pre-Robosapien creations.) It’s…

Zombies freak me out. You know how much they freak me out? Enough that I know that the best way to escape them is on bicycle, and the first weapon you should find to defend yourself with is a katana or sharp sword, which never needs reloading. If we ever have to deal with a zombie outbreak I’m ready….

If you’re thinking AT&T is going to keep its hands off the online music store business, you’re gravely mistaken. A month after it launched iPhone, which, mind you, is activated by iTunes, AT&T is launching its own music store. Called eMusic Mobile, the store offeres DRM-free music downloads priced at $7.49 for five downloads. It sounds weird. AT&T’s new music store doesn’t seem to be interested in selling music at all. Only Samsung A717, Samsung A727, Nokia N75, and Samsung Sync support the program needed to browse and purchase music from the store.

At&T’s store will start selling over 2.7 million songs, the biggest online store operated by a wireless provider.

Imagine being portrayed as a jealous and ultra-violent scorned lover who takes it out on its user. A black Macbook is shown biting at a leg of a coed who was making a video on her Nokia N95 thanking her parents for buying her the phone.

Nokia might have gone overboard on this cheesy marketing scheme. I’m not even sure, the point they’re driving at: N95 will take the place of computers in people’s lives is a viable assumption.
