Virtual Webcam Girlfriend Is Entrancing, If a Little Perverted [Nsfw]
Gizmodo —
From a technical standpoint, the Dennou AR Figures virtual 3D girlfriends, first announced a few months back, aren't much more impressive than PlayStation 3's Eye of Judgment. You install webcam software to that when your camera detects the special bundled cube onscreen, it fills a 3D companion into your environment. But when that 3D companion is a girl who can be dressed, tickled or, errr, spanked, the concept is born anew. Since the demo clip is ever so slightly NSFW, we've tucked it after the jump. Currently released in Japan, you can pick up your own Dennou AR figure for $125 at ...
Virtual Girlfriend Cheerfully Squeals At Your Virtual Abuse
OhGizmo! —
By Evan Ackerman
People say that only losers need a virtual girlfriend. Bah! How many girlfriends have you had who dressed up in furry outfits and let you smack them on the ass with a giant paddle with a heart on it? Yeah, only four for me, too. But when none of them are around, you need something to keep you, um, entertained, and that’s what Alice the virtual anime girlfriend is for.
Technically, Alice is “augmented reality” as opposed to “virtual,” the distinction being that she interacts directly with physical objects (like you). She exists inside your computer, but interacts with objects with ...

Max Levchin Is Bored With Silicon Valley Startups
Silicon Alley Insider —
Slide founder Max Levchin -- the guy who sold PayPal to eBay for $1.5 billion -- stopped by SAI world headquarters the other day. We learned:
Slide's already opened its New York office, staffed by an 8-person sales force. Max hasn't seen it yet.
Max expects Slide to get even more into developing deeply branded channels within Slide's FunSpace app like Katalyst, the project it just finished up with Ashton Kutcher and Cheetos. "Something you can't get anywhere else," he said.
Max is unimpressed with the level of innovation in Silicon Valley these days. Twitter and Facebook are great, but otherwise there are too many copy-cats ...
Geisha: The Japanese company that turned a virtual French maid into a hit product

Aris folds her tiny hands across her aproned lap and smiles. "If you need me, please poke me to get my attention!" she says in a peppy, high-pitched voice. "Just don't poke me in a weird place! "
As if to deliberately defy her request, Taisei Tanaka, who is sitting next to me in a soccer jersey and jeans, lifts up Aris' poofy skirt with a stick, revealing the ends of her black thigh-high socks and a glimpse of her blue panties. Aris screams at the top of her lungs. "Please stop! This kind of thing is not good!"
Tanaka has every right to lift up Aris' skirt. He is her creator, after all. Besides, Aris is not a real person; she ...
