Ever wanted a talking internet telephone?  Of course you have.

Well, let me introduce you to the Verballs.  These animated little characters move wave their arms all around when you receive a Skype call and then move their mouths to mimic the speech of whomever you are speaking with.

The website has five different varieties and it looks like they will be widely available on September 1 2006.  Each has his/her own story that can be played via the flash interface on the website.  Get all five and rotate depending on who you’re talking with!  The looks are close enough, it could be almost like talking to Jake in person!

Thanks to The Red Ferret Journal for the pointer.

I grew up on Super Mario Brothers.  I can’t begin to count the hours I’ve lost in the game series depths.  When asked what my favorite of the series is, I invariably answer “Super Mario Bros. 2″.

I never knew.  I never knew that what I thought was my favorite Super Mario Brothers game wasn’t really a Super Mario Brothers game at all.

What I thought was Super Mario Bros. 2 was originally released in Japan as Doki Doki Panic.  All Nintendo did was to replace the characters in the original Doki Doki Panic game with the Mario characters and shipped it off to us unknowing Americans.

Why did we get the wool pulled over our eyes?  Nintendo thought the real game was just too hard for us.  Yep.  Too hard.

Turns out, some of us have played the real Super Mario 2 at one point or another.  It was released as “The Lost Levels” on the Super Mario All-Stars cartridge.  The look and feel of that game is truly in Mario Bros. style.

All this makes me curious to play Doki Doki Panic.  Maybe Nintendo should have released that into the U.S.  and given us the original “lost Levels” Mario 2.

Doki Mario 2 is still my favorite by the way.

Just when you thought those chinzy, three ‘C’ cell batteries required, light saber replicas were the closest you’d ever get to being a card carrying member of the Light or Dark side.  Enter the Light Laser Saber.  Now you can be as Jedi as you want.

The site and the pricing still seem to be in the works, but the concept is certainly there.  Each is hand made.  The light source is a Wicked Laser in either Green or Red. It would appear that the lasersaber will use the classic green and the pulsar red lasers and not the blue lasers as the blue laser only comes in the more expensive options at Wicked.

On a bummer! note, the laser saber does not come with sound effects, so the trademark SHHOOOZZZ and SHIIZZ will still have to be made by your Jedi sound effect system.

So, what are you waiting for?  Head on over to lasersaber.com and get yourself on the list.  They’re still on a first come first serve basis, so the faster you email, the better.

E-marketing or online marketing is the process of marketing in which the product is introduced on internet via web site design by purchasing a website hosting package. For this entire process you need web development software to design your website.
