Best computer news

This purportedly popular fellow has been enshrined in plastic from its celluloid beginnings. Fashioned by Cube-Works into a peripheral, the anime dog, Dodobongo, is a USB watch dog for your PC. He comes with a food bowl which doubles as a sign holder for those times you leave your computer and put Dodobongo in charge of security. He’ll bark or wiggle his head in response to motion. He’ll also waddle up to you to the length of his USB tether. Be aware of the space you put him on, he doesn’t seem to pay much attention to where he’s going. This depressing character is the brain child of design team Uruma and Delvi. They refer to themselves jointly as UrumaDelvi. They are a pair of very modern designers that seem to have a genuine following, something akin to the Blue Dog craze in the US that lasted a year too long.

While he may not be as strong as some security systems released lately, having this on your desk should deter many a hacker or promotion. There’s not much that a USB dog barking and roaming around your desk doesn’t tell about you except that you have ONLY useless information on your computer. It may not be a high profile successory if this is going to make your daily routine even a little bit brighter, do it. Dodobongo can be had from Amazon Japan for about $40 not including shipping. Video demo after the jump.
