These adorable Fingerlings robo-monkeys are the latest must-have affordable gadget
Hello little Fingerlings, where have you been all my life?
I am an unabashed robotics fan. I'm also someone who has been disappointed repeatedly by consumer robotics.
While some overpromise and underdeliver others overdeliver and overwhelm. The best of them, like Sphero's Ultimate Lightning McQueen are pricey, and the worst of them, like WowWee's adorable ChiP robot dog, are expensive and confusing.
In truth, consumers can only handle so much when it comes to robotics. They like a little bit of automation and intelligence, a lot of simplicity, and pocket-change prices. For consumer automatons, that's a near impossible mix.

Barbie's boyfriend Ken gets a makeover: Cornrows, man buns and new skin tones
NEW YORK - He’s been overshadowed by Barbie for decades, but now Ken is finally getting some attention.
Mattel is introducing 15 new looks for the male doll, including different skin tones, body shapes and hair styles.
Barbie had a similar makeover more than a year ago, both part of the toy company’s plan to make its dolls more diverse and appealing to today’s kids.
Ken hadn’t changed much since he was introduced 56 years ago as Barbie’s blue-eyed, chiseled boyfriend. Now he’ll be sold in three body shapes: “slim,” “broad” and “original.”
He’ll have modern hairdos, such as cornrows and man buns, and come in seven skin tones. And he’ll also be sporting new fashions: think skinny ties, plaid shirts and graphic tees.
