Remember that Hello Kitty Robot we wrote about back in 2004? Of course, you do, you Hello Kitty obsessed soul you! Well, it looks like the makers are finally getting ready to sell the thing, for 50% more money than they were originally asking. If you want to pick up one of these interactive cuties, it’ll set you back $6,300: then again, you do get stereo cameras, voice recognition, ultrasonic and “lift-up” sensors as part of the deal. Money can’t buy you love, but apparently it can buy you a whole lot of simulated affection.

TabletPCReview got their hands on the HP Compaq 2710p tablet PC recently, and have given their first impressions of the unit: in a sentence, it’s not very well featured, but it is well designed and has decent performance. In a little more detail, the review mentions that the hinge component allows very little wobble of the — grainy but bold — widescreen, the pen is made out of decent plastic, and the 2710p “did great” performance wise. We have a little inkling that “great” is only great in the context of other tablet PCs, but if that’s what the competition is, who’s complaining?

So I began to connect the two, because it seemed quite logical at least that if they are looking for large amounts of Internet data to sift through and vacuum up, what would be a perfect place? It would be in the Internet room at a place like AT&T. And lo and behold, the NSA guy shows up. …
