Here we have a robotic penguin named MyDeskFriend from Arimaz. MDF is an interactive robot that connects to your Facebook account and is akin to the Tamagotchi, but the level of interactivity goes beyond yourself and infiltrates your entire Facebook friend list.
The desktop companion is able to read Facebook messages to you and it has the ability to memorize 10-15 voice commands. It’s free to roam about your desk and the five IR sensors ensure it doesn’t roll off and start a ruckus with the dust bunnies near your power strip. The little bastard even responds to physical poking and shaking. If you manage to piss it off its eyes will glow red and destroy your retinas. So make sure its eyes are always yellow or else.
MyDeskFriend is shooting for a September launch for $99. I totally want one.

creepy indeed
This will be great until all the teens and 20s get sick of their parents friending them, move on to another social networking site, thus rendering facebook as barren as myspace.

What happens if you feed it after midnight?
I am pretty sure this will catch on really well… if it is marketed properly!! I want one, and I wanna sell this!
