Posted By: Zodingliani Chinzah | Jul 4 2006
Maybe it happens to others too;the screen display of Instant Messanger online buddies invariably escaping notice. Therefore, to help people like me take note of every buddies on line, comes a new invention by Jack Schulze from Schulze & Webb. Called the Availbot, it is a presence-aware, peripheral-vision USB toy that stands when your buddy is online and falls when he leaves. It can also be desinged to look just like the friend.
Great idea! Guess, we'll all like it; there is a child in all of us after all!
