Darth Vader children's laptop for your little Sith Lord
If you're like us, you want to encourage your children to harness the power of the Dark side and use The Force for their twisted, megalomaniacal schemes, but you also want them to learn something while doing it. Luckily Oregon Scientific understands your plight, and has delivered the Darth Vader laptop to help. Of course, calling it a laptop is a little misleading -- it's more like a Speak & Spell with a glowing lightsaber stylus and accompanying sound effects, but with 50 games for training "reflexes, typing and rhythm," at least it will keep Palpatine Jr. out of your hair.

It's not "a toy." It's a DARTH VADER toy.

And more importantly, who cares? It's a blog website. If they find something interesting (or in this case, something nerdy), they're going to post about it. Quit griping about their "quality control" and just be glad they give us a lot of news about gadgets and games.

Star Wars merchandising is almost as entertaining as the movies. I still kick myself for not purchasing that Darth Maul Shampoo when I saw it at a discount store.
