The clip is actually molded into the top of the pen itself. You would need a pair of pliers and a vise to bend this clip.

Aw, how timely. Shortly after the Pleo lineage fell victim to economic pressures, an all-too-cute video has surfaced showing a remaining creature being controlled by a Wii Nunchuk. In reality, the underlying abuse here is quite sad — for those unaware, Pleo was designed to be entirely autonomous, and the first step to regaining control over it is to implement a “Pleo Stunner” in order to shock him into silence. From there, an XBee-based solution is used to tap into his control system and override each single instinct the poor sap ever had. If you’re into this type of sadistic torture (or you’re just an aspiring dictator), check the read link for all the instructions you need to fulfill your own evil desires. For those just interested in a good chuckle, the vid’s after the break.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Catching a glimpse of the Lexus LF-A is hard enough without resorting to spy photos. Fortunately, “this very special specimen is a Lexus LF-A with a shell of transparent acrylic.” Click here for first picture in gallery.
Lexus has referred to this project as an exploration of “L-Finesse” design language, and has tastefully named the art piece Crystallized Wind.

Adam Frucci of Gizmodo shows what happens when you eat the world’s largest Cheeto while using a $1589 Optimus Maximus keyboard. It’s not pretty to say the least. Continue reading to watch.
But I persevered. It was stale and horrible. I’ll never eat Cheetos again. But hey, who am I to turn down a challenge of this magnitude?

We’re not the biggest theatre-goers around here (though we’ve been known to take in the odd
Phantom of the Opera performance), but this is one play we would jump at the opportunity to see. Called — quite fittingly —
Robots, the musical stars three autonomous robots developed by Bluebotics, a company which specializes in service bots. The story revolves around a lonely human man who lives in isolation with just his robots, and what happens when a woman threatens to visit him in the not too distant future. Yeah, like we haven’t heard this one a million times. The play opens on Might 1st at the Barnabe Theatre in Servion, Switzerland, and will run until May 17th.

This little bot– the NXTway-GS — is a self-balancer, and he’s pretty adorable, to boot. Thanks to some clever modifications, he’s now controllable via
Wiimote. Using the
LEGO NXT system, and some custom firmware, the tiny dude is connected to a computer via Bluetooth. The video of the robot in action is after the break — but if you want to see full instructions for making one of your very own — hit the read link. And may we advocate you slap a powdered colonial wig on yours?
