pram_1.jpgOn the face of it let me admit that it sounds really cool, looks impressive and sounds like what Super Heroes like Batman and Superman grew up in (seen in the movie Shoot 'em Up). But if you ask me, unless I was shifting base to Iraq, I wouldn't subject my baby to this stroller. Imagine putting a live baby in this bullet proof contraption and that too for a demo! The video kind of loses its credibility too. Not only does it gives you the creeps fathoming an experiment gone awry, but also wonder what kind of weirdos would do this to a baby! Incase you are still interested you can check out the details after the jump. BTW it comes with a rainproof cover as well; so considerate! (Video after the jump, they have done the testing with a live baby and live rounds) Interestingly the Bullet Proof Baby Stroller comes with a two-year guarantee, I wonder what will happen to the baby should a malfunction happens after that. The stroller costs $599. The features of the stroller are: - Front swivel wheels. - Shopping basket. Keep your baby and your groceries safe. - Adjustable leg rest. The stroller grows with your baby. - Suitable from Birth. - Soft seat fabric. - Waterproof lined, detachable hood. - Multi lie-back position (does not lie flat). - Plastic grip handles - Lightweight, umbrella fold stroller. - The seat is fitted with a 5-point harness to ensure the safety and security of your child. - Linked brakes for safety. - Comes complete with instructions. - Weighs 15lb.

Sounding like a child who's just been caught with a hand in the proverbial cookie jar, Microsoft issued a decidedly contrite, non-confrontational response this afternoon to the decision handed down earlier today by a European Grand Chamber of the Court of First Instance, thanking the court for its time and promising to take whatever steps are necessary to comply with the ruling. While playing up its commitment to Europe, aspirations for increased transparency, and continuing changes to its business practices, Redmond Senior Vice President and General Counsel Brad Smith also admitted that "we all have to acknowledge that there are some issues that do remain open" and even welcomed "continued discussion to adhere to our duties with the European Commission." Notably absent from Microsoft's response was any mention of an appeal, and while the topic does seem to have been broached in post-statement Q&A, the company's press release conveniently lists all questions as being asked "off mike" -- therefore, the only clue we have regarding future plans is Smith's assertion that "I don't want to talk about what will come next in terms of the legal process." In other words, it sounds like this case may well enter its second decade before a final decision is reached.

EU rules on Microsoft antitrust appeal: Bad news for Microsoft

The 15-month deliberation into Microsoft's appeal to the European ruling in their anti-trust case is over. The news is pretty bad for Microsoft as their appeal has been dismissed. As such, the $688 million fine imposed in 2004 stands and Microsoft must pay 80% of the Commission's legal costs as additional insult. Microsoft did succeed at abolishing the independent monitoring trustee established to supervise Microsoft's behavior. Microsoft can still appeal to the highest court in Europe so this isn't over by any stretch of the imagination.

Okay, we can understand how a few units slipped out of the factory without the OS installed, but come on Team Cupertino, what's up with forgetting to change the re-hashed iPhone code on the touch's password lockout screen? Don't people trying to break into our iPods deserve the same great Apple experience that paying customers get?

We knew it wouldn't be long, but we weren't counting on being able to pre-order Takara Tomy's i-SOBOT in America today. Of course, we aren't kvetching or anything, but Amazon is now accepting orders for the creature here in the US of A, and the asking price is at the low end of what we were bracing for. So go on, secure your place in line for $299.99 -- it ought to ship real soon.
