Another dinosaur becomes extinct!

Today brings the chilling news of another blow to bio-diversity...well not exactly bio.. but, you get the idea. Engadget reports that Ugobe, makers of this cute toy is filing for bankrupcy. To me its interesting how a company that has a product as popular and interesting at that, can go out of business. If you live in India and havent heard of Pleo, please do a search on "Pleo Robot" to see how popular it is. Still not impressed? Click here for reallya good article about Pleo and whats inside him.

Read about the " credit ice age " that crushed the hopes of survival of this pint-sized robot, despite the CEO stating earlier that the rumours of its demise are exaggerated. I really wish the WWF would step into save an endangered species.

Pleo comes from the tradition of Furby. Caleb Chung, the CEO of Ugobe also helped creat FURBY that became a hit in 1998. Furby was a toy that started out talking Furbish, but soon learned to speak english.
