More fun with your PSP from Wireless Watch Japan...
Now WWJ has found out that Sony's PSP goes one better with a trick that will make technogeeks sit up and beg -- the Japanese version of the PSP apparently (and unintentionally) works electronic wizardry on Aibo the wonder 'bot as well! Japanese entertainment weekly Famitsu put the PSP through its paces in their 15 April issue and sure enough: pressing combinations of buttons on the PSP will make Aibo do different tricks -– no hacking necessary!

This post at VentureBlog made me LOL:
Excerpt:
After a meeting I had earlier today, I thought it would make sense to share some practical advice about presenting your company to the venture community. As a general rule, it is best not to clip your fingernails while pitching your company.
I can't believe someone would actually do this. This is just like a guy in my department, but our guy is worse. The first time I ever met him was in a meeting of 4-5 people where he started clipping his toenails in front of everyone (he was wearing sandals). And he wasn't even pretending to be discreet and keep it under the conference table, he pulled his chair back and clippings were flying everywhere. I couldn't pay attention to anything in the meeting that day, I was so shocked that someone would behave this way.
The second meeting had a couple more people, and he started eating an orange and spat the seeds on the carpet after every bite. Thankfully it was away from everyone and towards the whiteboard, but it was weird that no one said anything. He's been here a really long time and I think people have just accepted his behavior.
I've only had one other meeting with him (thank goodness!), and we're located on different floors, so I'm able to avoid this guy most of the time.
