Harass me with your holiday gift questions
On Wednesday, Nov. 28, Keith Shaw took part in a live online text chat session with readers, fielding questions about gadgets, personal technology, and holiday gift ideas. The transcript of the Q&A will be posted here - check back soon!

Taking a long-deserved break
After being buried in hundreds of boxes over the past few months by eager technology vendors wishing to be in the Cool Yule Tools holiday gift guide, I've decided to take a quick break. Sure, you may think my job is really cool in that I get to open up boxes and play with tech toys, but consider that I also had to test a lot of systems with Windows Vista on it this year. Now tell me I don't deserve a quick vacation.

Update: Robot company gets $5M order
A few months ago I wrote an item about the Adept Quattro s650 robot, and how the look of it reminded me of the 1984 film 'Runaway', in which scary spider-like robots threaten society.

Use your Bluetooth headset as a walkie-talkie
The new Dragon Bluetooth headset ($119.99, available now) by Callpod not only provides noise-cancellation features and simultaneous pairing between a Bluetooth mobile phone and a PC using Skype, but the coolest feature may be that it can pair with a second Dragon headset for two-way radio communications over a 250,000 square-foot area.

Let your cell phone call you fat
This week Sensei launched a mobile phone application that allows users to have a "personal digital coach," which will give you motivational messages when you're at the store eyeing that box of Ring Dings.

Elsewhere on NetworkWorld.com: When toys and collaboration merge
Need an excuse to buy the Xbox game Rock Band for your – ehem -- kids? Collaboration expert Sue Hanely is giving you one. It is the perfect example of collaboration, where gamers work together (instead of try to kill one another).
