Baby Seal Sends Text Messages to Scientists
Before setting the newly feral seal free, researchers strapped it with a transmitter that will relay the seal's position, depth, times spent in and out of the water, and swimming speed all via standard SMS messages. Thankfully for the researchers, the whole thing is automated.
The seal might have trouble banging out "I'm on the island of Rhodes" with those tiny little flippers.

Friday YouTube Fix: Woman Taunts Polar Bear
YouTube ... ain't it grand? Without its endless, ever-expanding library of videos from around the globe, we'd have to live in Japan in order to to watch a female game show contestant tease a captive polar bear -- in a seal costume. Why didn't they ever do stuff like this on 'Fear Factor'?

Gadget Silences Noisy Neighborhood Dogs
Does your neighbor's dog bark incessantly all day and night, or worse, tell you to kill? Put down the arsenic-laced Scooby snacks and instead pick up Bark Free, a nifty little gadget that silences the sound of a dog barking from 30, 50 or 60 feet away depending on the model. When Fido barks, Bark Free flips on and emits ultrasonic sound waves, which are undetectable to the human ear. When the barking stops, the sound is switched off. Though not harmful to the perpetrating pooch, the ultrasonic sound is rather unpleasant for him and he quickly learns not to bark in the vicinity of your yard. Prices range from $70 to $120.Man, cats are gonna have a field day with this one.

Fido's Dog Tag Goes High Tech
Is that engraved, dog bone-shaped tag dangling from your pooch's collar a little too low-tech for ya? You're not alone. A company called eTags has developed a more high-tech option dubbed the Dog-e-Tag. It's a $30-$40 electronic tag that includes a four-line LCD screen that you can program with your pet's name and your phone number. But, with up to 40 lines of information available to scroll through, you can also stack it up with your street address, e-mail, any medical problems your pet has and whatever else you feel like punching in ... your pooch's preference for Evian, perhaps? The tag is water-proof, shock-proof, cold-proof, and comes in six different colors. Battery life is rated at two years and, when it dies, you can pop in a new battery on your own. Take that iPhone!From OhGizmo!
