Here, boy: come to the toy store; please!
Article Abstract:
Tiger Electronics has been plagued by trouble in the development of its $200 robotic dog i-Cybie. As electronic toys for children have become more complex and technically advanced, the challenge is not only in manufacturing the product, but imbuing the product with life-likeness and soul. Tiger began the process of developing a robotic dog to rival Sony's Aibo in May 1999. After spending $2 million and 18 months on the product, Tiger hopes to start manufacturing in March 2001 and hopes to have the dogs in stores in May 2001.

Museum raiders; as artists draw inspiration from video games, curators are starting to play along
Article Abstract:

Sometimes the works are video loops, paintings or prints. Jon Haddock's re-creations of famous photos were in the Whitney Museum of American Art in Manhattan in a show called 'BitStreams'. Miltos Manetas' film loop, "Flames," was featured at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
