Here’s a video report from Reuters on the transforming dress that disguises a scared, vulnerable stalking target into a vending machine you’d find in any Tokyo side street. This is the first time I’ve seen this dress on video. And I like how the reporter calls it a modern day Ninja tactic, while other Japanese men in the segment say it’s probably a better idea to run from rapists and muggers than to lift up your dress and try to disguise yourself as a Soda machine.

The Good: The Hava Titanum HD has component HD support and Wi-Fi via USB dongle out of the box (a must for my Home Theater Setup, where the router is in another room). As a point of comparison, the Sling Pro requires a $50 attachment for HD support and can only communicate wirelessly via power lines. The Hava also allows you to pause, rewind and fast forward, record to your hard disk and burn your recordings to DVD. Video playback is generally smooth and uninterrupted. It supports simultaneous viewing from local (unlimited viewers) and and remote (single viewer) connections. Future expansion possibilities include hard drives and digital tuners.
