Customised Toy
One for the kids. Scout the Puppy is a ordinary looking stuffed toy, except that it has a USB connection. Yes, you read that right, Scout's USB connection allows parents to hook him up to a computer to personalise him, entering information like the child's name, favourite colour as well as the ability to download tunes from an online server that can be played back to keep the kids happy later on. Scout will interact with your child using the pre-programmed data, including inserting your child's name in generic phrases! And best of all, no house-training required!

Just what we wanted, not only does Google know everything about my life, it knows where I am as well!
