Even though Bigfoot still alludes hunters in the Pacific Northwest, Fisher-Price has decided to merchandise him as a toy. I guess that the T-shirts weren’t enough. You’d probably have to live in the Pacific Northwest to get this joke. In fact, the popular toy company is unveiling the Imaginext Bigfoot the Monster at the Toy Fair 2010 in New York.

Tomy Ene Pocket RC runs on juice and soda
The biggest problem with RC toys is that they run on batteries, and those batteries have to be replaced or charged every once in a while.

Parrot’s AR.Drone flys high at CES Unveiled
What you see here is not a UFO appearing at CES Unveiled, but Parrot’s new product. Yes, this is Parrot, who has produced some quality digital picture frames, Bluetooth devices, and speakers, but never anything like this. This would be like Logitech making an awesome armored tank. There was a swarm of cameras around this identified flying object at the Venetian Casino in Las Vegas, and it was not hard …
