I saw this before and I thought it was pretty cool, a robot sidekick called Brian The Brain. He has an encycopedia and all kinds of other things, you can ask him questions and his brain glows. I think his voice could get annoying but I love the idea of saying "Brian, order me a pizza!!" and he'll dial the shop :)

Fricking cool!!!!! Check him out on Gizmodo here

Saw this story in The Times this week and thought it was funny. It was a survey in a surfing forum of which people preferred surfing or sex. I think surfing won.
