ChouChou Electric Butterfly flutters to life inside a jar
Most robot pets may not be easily mistaken for the real thing, but that's not likely to be the case with the ChouChou Electric Butterfly, which might even have a few people reaching to free it from its jar. Unfortunately, it's the jar that keeps the butterfly "alive" -- it has some AA batteries in its lid that apparently allow the butterfly to respond to vibrations and flutter about. That may not sound like much, but the effect is pretty striking -- see for yourself after the break. Of course, just because it's simple doesn't mean its cheap. You'll have to shell out a hefty $76 to bring this one home.

Droid X can now be counted among the rooted (update: video!)
It's recently come to our attention that Birdman over at the AllDroid.org forums has rooted the Droid X. By all accounts (which, at the time of this writing, consists of two forum posts that exclaim "it works!") things are going beautifully, so what do you think? Ready to pierce the soft underbelly of your smartphone's OS? Been dying to get a hot session of ADB going? Hit the source link, and remember: if you brick your phone, you only have yourself to blame.
Update: We've added a video of the process after the break. Thanks, Steven!

Steve Ballmer’s shocking autograph of MacBook Pro caught on video
But, no. He pretty much just signs the laptop. See it all happen after the break.Steve would fly into a blind fury, grabbing the laptop and smashing it against a far wall with the force of ten men, laughing as the computer shattered and sparked out of existence. He would then leap towards the young man who'd made the request and pin him to the floor, pulling out a Bowie knife while whispering that he would like to "Gut [him] like the pathetic animal he is." Next Ballmer would dash out of the room only to return with a canister of gasoline, some hairspray, and one of those long lighters, all while shouting that he would "Show the world what [he's] really made of." Ballmer would escape from this scene of utter destruction in a helicopter, but not before circling the college campus (or wherever this took place) and dumping toxic waste on hundreds of students.

Enna is an Attractive Linux Media Center Application [Downloads]
Linux only: Previously mentioned media center GeeXboX has finally released a stable version of their new interface, called Enna. Used with GeeXboX or as a standalone application, it handles all your music, photos, videos, and even ebooks—with style.
Enna features a very attractive interface, with direct access to all your hard drive's media in a very user-friendly way. It even automatically fetches covers, fanart, and information for you—and you don't have to switch in and out of a "Library Mode" to see them, making navigation a bit nicer than some of its competitors. It's also added books as a medium—and while one may wonder who would want to read books on their television screen, comic books are another matter. Enna currently supports GoComics and OneManga as content providers, meaning you can read your favorite comics in a whole new way.
Other than the bookstore, though, and an arguably more user-friendly interface, Enna is still relatively young, and it's missing some of the more advanced features, such as UPnP and DLNA support, that front-runners like XBMC and Boxee have to offer. However, these and many other more advanced features are planned for the future, so Enna still has a chance of rivaling the top players one day—just not quite yet. If you do use Enna, let's hear what makes it your media center of choice in the comments.
