Japanese get smiling robot tissue dispenser
The current headlines seem to be focused on the extremely impressive things that are finding their way to CeBIT. My headlines, like usual, will focus on the general oddities of the technology world. Like the Japanese robot that smiles as it gives you a tissue (when you sneeze, of course). Personally, I think it's rather charming...which is exactly the thing's goal. This robot has a brilliant little feature which is used for "gathering information about the people it encounters on the job". You can rent this adorable little spy for five days for the low low price of 100,000 Yen (around $835 USD). If you want a quick giggle at Google's attempt to translate the Japanese product page, click here.
