UCube Compact USB Digital Speakers Prove Size Doesn’t Matter [TECH REVIEW]

DONA The Panhandling Robot [VIDEO]
Call it a sign of the times or sweet poetic justice, but you know things are getting tough when our technological superiors are forced to take to the streets and hit up their once fleshy inferiors for some coin. While many of us are more than eager to send a throat oyster their way, you’ll at least want to give a quarter (or your entire paycheck) to DONA – the little panhandling robot that’s cute as the dickens! Not only will DONA make you look like a heartless monster for ignoring her, but she doesn’t smell like an ungodly combination of garbage and vomit like most panhandlers; not to mention she won’t whisper obscenities under breath. Watch DONA work her panhandling magic for yourself!

But I doubt this Playmobil Apple Store playset will ever be made real!
