DayPortPlayer.newPlayer({articleID:”15837″,bannerContainer:”OverrideAdArea”,playerInstanceID:”1″,domain:”keye.dayport.com”,rootCategory:”79″,categoryID:”5″});I don’t understand a word of the video because I don’t understand the language of surrender, but I don’t need to in order to see that the dogs trapped inside of this $30,000 contraption for the four minutes of washing and drying aren’t exactly experiencing jouissance. They’re dogs, not designer jeans, people. And the guy that climbed inside to show it’s safe is probably a plant who loves pain. [Key TV via Spluch]

Okay, technically it’s a list of features Gadget Lab’s readers want, but you guys probably want them too, right? Stuff like iChat, cut and paste functions and the ever-craved “media disinterest.” Anything you want that didn’t make the list? Better still if it’s genuinely awesome but less likely to happen than Apple joining the Open Handset Alliance. [Gadget Lab]

The MiniMechadon walker works pretty much as advertised: It walks, awkwardly and prodding, just like the AT-STs you know and love. Cobbled together from a gumbo of parts, circuit boards and brass tubing, it’s not quite as sparse as its film counterpart, what with the disco feet and all, but that’s kind of why we dig it. The one thing the Empire didn’t have enough of was style. Hit the jump for a shiny still shot. [Mike Smyth via TechEBlog via Technabob]
