Oh yes, it really will type along with your typing and talk to you, in your choice of English or Japanese. Or you can just let it play with its own screensaver.

_P.S. DO NOT DISTURB THE SEXY
Too fucking funny. It's a scan of the three-page invitation to P. Diddy's MTV after-party, including dress code and grooming instructions. Don't forget to wax the curlies, ladies, and remember to RSVP at (212) 381-2002.

_"Specialist in Suicide/Homicide/Unattended Death Clean-Up."
So you've got an active little business cleaning up traumatic death settings. How exactly do you market your outfit? Relying on that yellow pages listing under "carpet care" isn't going to hack it. Hmm, maybe billboards of sad young people holding teddy bears and doing the thousand-yard stare...

UPDATE: Two days later, the Post wakes up to the story. Their angle: NIMBYism. About a vending machine? Whatever.

Another take from Reuters.
