The $30 Android will never leave you
No special person in your life to buy you a Nabaztag/tag so that you no longer need a special person in your life? Build yourself this $30 Android and make all the loneliness go away. Built into this charming little styrofoam head is a webcam, microphone, speakers, a few LED lights, light sensors and a small LCD screen, and once you install enough conversational and creepy RSS-based stalker software on it we're sure it'll reach sentience in no time. Video is after the break.

In the name of all that is HOLY!! THE HORROR!!
I don't know what is creepier, the talking semi-sentient and apparently insanely jealous android styrofoam head, or the narrator himself.

Just lost my GF. This may be an inexpensive alternative and you don't have to take her to expensive restaurants.
ssuk @ Dec 18th 2007 9:24AM
Yeah, they wont let you in with the bloody thing...
Archietype @ Dec 18th 2007 2:03PM

I'm very amazed how our robotic overlord can keep up with a female voice despite her uber creepy glowing adam's apple...
But, can I play doom on her head?
Luis @ Dec 18th 2007 3:50AM
I just realized, that glowing adams apple. It's right out of Star Trek the motion picture. That bridge leutenant that was turned into an android by Vger the spacecraft. She is also bald like that head, actally looks exactly like this.
Apologies for soundind like an uber geek. But this is creeping me out lol.

So this is what happened after Ilia merged with Decker and V'ger?

This looks like a job for Chumby. You could have a wireless head and place it weird places.

Can my angry mob of peasants join in, please?
Gnaget @ Dec 18th 2007 4:57AM
I have seen a lot of weird stuff, but this takes the cake on creepy factor. I think I'll actively avoid the man who made this....
"Yes, master"
"Please, dump this girl"
3rdsun @ Dec 18th 2007 5:17AM
I wonder if she gives head
Paris @ Dec 18th 2007 6:24AM
You are sick.
bdarma @ Dec 18th 2007 5:33AM

NHAnimator @ Dec 18th 2007 8:44AM

"Frightening android head, please call my girlfriend."
"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

Did someone actually take the time to put lipstick on this thing? And more importantly, why?
ratnikh @ Dec 18th 2007 12:50PM
@ Luis: The narrator is a speech synthesis program, but yes, it is creepy
@ aoeu00: Her right "eye" was punctured because that is where the webcam is
This video is roughly 50% epic, 50% fail and yet another 50% fail.
aoeu00 @ Dec 18th 2007 1:04PM
And this one's for the female crowd..

I would replace her voice for the voice of the computer from Portal.
Pretol @ Dec 18th 2007 2:21PM
This doesn't deserve to be in the news.
But since it did, I have to ask:
Why isn't her mouth shaped in the blow-up doll fashion?
Walt @ Dec 26th 2007 3:10PM
She's hot, HOT I tell you, R2D2. Oh, stop whining, you silly little droid. No, she doesn't look like Britney, what makes you say that?
