Starting Our Christmas Robot Wish List Early (Video)

Yes, we know that it's way too early to be thinking about Christmas wish lists. But, what the heck - we just saw a video clip (see below) of the Mr. Clock Radio robot and figured it's as good an excuse as any to get the jump on the holiday season.

Not only would this make a neat Christmas present, it also appears to offer endless opportunities for creative hacking. What would it take to link up that talking robot head to our PC and have it giving email arrival alerts, doing Elvis imitations, or just causing general havoc? We can hardly wait to find out. So, if you have even the remotest thought about sending a Christmas gift this way, Mr. Clock Radio would definitely find a welcome and appreciative home, well stocked with other interesting and challenging robotic friends.
