Walking Dead Animated Teddy Bear Girl makes it just in time for the Season 4

walking-dead-animated-girlSince we are about to approach the end of October, that can only mean one thing – Halloween is well on its way, which means one ought to start making the relevant preparations in place, such as party favors, candy, and of course, presents for those whom you think deserve one. To set aside $199.99 for the Walking Dead Animated Teddy Bear Girl is a sign that you are an avid fan of the rather graphic comic series which has since seen a TV series (the fourth season is about to premier!) and a computer game to boot. This is an officially licensed Walking Dead memorabilia, and would definitely be an unforgettable addition to your Halloween collection as it comes in a life-size reproduction of a zombie girl.

To make things creepier, “she” is voice activated, pretty much in the same way that noise more or less attracts zombies in both the comic and TV series. Something about zombies do bug me, however, why can’t we wait until all of their teeth have rotted out, that they are unable to sink into our juicy flesh? Well, that is just one aspect of my doubt for this genre of undead, but then again, millions of Walking Dead fans cannot be wrong, and the awesome first time we saw Rick Grimes in the TV series get confronted by a girl wearing teddy bear slippers, and yet is deadly, is one that remains seared in my memory. Since she’s sound activated, it would be the ideal tool to have to scare trick or treaters who walk up your home. Powered by a quartet of AA batteries, she won’t rot – ever, and does not need to survive on human brains.

Fitbug Orb Activity Tracker: The Affordable Workout Tracker (with a Catch)

There are plenty of activity trackers around to get the job done to track physical activity, and most of them aren’t cheap. For the more budget-conscious, there’s the newly released Fitbug Orb, which looks like it could be a good option.

The Orb is quite discreet. You can wear it on your wrist, belt, a lanyard, or have it clipped on. It works as a pedometer, tracks aerobic steps, time, distance, calories burned, speed, and even sleep.

Up front, the Fitbug Orb costs less than half than the more costly alternatives, however after the first 12 months, you’ll have to spend $3.99 a month if you want to keep using the online tracking service at fitbug.com and access their coaching plans. Of course, in 12 months, the next hot fitness gadget might be out and you will have gotten a year’s use for under $50 total. Not bad.

The model that will be released works only with iOS devices, at least for now. The Fitbug Orb retails for $49.99(USD) and is available for pre-order for late 2013 delivery.

VMWare Gets The Mac Market To Themselves

VMWare Gets The Mac Market To Themselves

Microsoft has announced that they will no longer be offering Virtual PC for Mac computers. While this may seem disappointing for some people you will soon have your hopes revived. VMWare is currently accepting registration for users to Beta test the Mac version of their virtualization software. By registering you can be among the first people to try out this awesome release later this year! I would much rather see VMWare enter this market over Microsoft because of the experience that they already have. The only thing that will keep Virtual PC afloat is the fact that Microsoft is offering it for free for Windows users. A Vista compatible version of Virtual PC will also be released in late 2006 or early 2007 at no cost.

Ballerina Tree makes for an interesting decoration piece

ballerina-treeThe Christmas season is one that is supposedly full of joy, and of course, you would do well to make sure that the overall feeling of festivities all around are adhered to with the right kind of food and snacks served, in addition to getting the mood up with the correct decoration – in the house, as well as outside of it. For those who want something different from the usual shebang when it comes to sprucing up the home with the Yuletide spirit, how about getting the $299.95 Ballerina Tree?

The Ballerina Tree happens to be a rotating 6′ Christmas tree which has been specially modeled after the classic jewelry box ballerina. This brings the best of both worlds together, where it delivers a whimsical take on a traditional indoor tree. Sporting some rather lifelike PVC branches as well as twigs which have been reimagined as a ballerina dancer’s long limbs, you can be sure that some of your more curious friends might even want to run their fingers through it as their brain tells them that it is the real deal. As for the green PVC pine needles, those have been fashioned into a tutu. The dancer’s bodice and skirt will arrive in a festive red tinsel, while the whole pre-lit display would radiate with the elegant light of 200 white LEDs. The lights themselves have been rated for 10,000 hours, so you know for sure that the Ballerina Tree is going to last you for a good many years down the road.

Valve Demos Steam Controller: Jack of All Games

Yesterday Valve released a video showing a prototype of the Steam Controller – which is designed to be used with the company’s upcoming Steam Machines – being used to play a handful of games. The demo focused on the controller’s “legacy mode”, in which the controller emulates a mouse and a keyboard, letting you map keys and cursor movement to the controller’s buttons, triggers and trackpads.

In the demo, the controller was used to play four mouse-heavy games: Portal, Civilization V, Counter-Strike: G.O. and Papers, Please. The games were chosen to show the accuracy of the trackpads, as well as how well it works with menu-heavy games that were meant to be used with a keyboard and mouse.

As was mentioned in the demo, Valve will release more demos featuring a variety of games. Even if you’ve already decided that the controller isn’t for you, remember that Steam Machines will still support mouse and keyboard combos. In any case I think that the Steam Controller is mainly for console gamers, to get them to try the PC games on Steam. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Valve is working on or supporting the development of games that were made with the Steam Controller in mind.
