TiLR: Your new Robotic boss.


Remember the days when you heaved a sigh of relief when you heard someone say “boss aint comin in today!”? The good ol’ days when you had your boss out on a business trip and getting to see his monotonous face on that tiny laptop whenever you had those boring teleconferencing sessions? Yes? Remember mimicking your boss behind the laptop that’s showing his pompous face? 

Well, relish all those moments because a company called Robo Dynamics has created this uglier (depending on which side of the divide you stand) version of your boss complete with eyes- and wheels for boots so that the boss can take a look at what exactly is going on at “work” when he’s not around. TiLR (pronounced Tie Ler) will be able to move about the office, interact with the favorite secretary and hear in stereo, all of your anti boss tirades – thanks to bi-directional video and audio. To make things worse, you will also be able to see his face in full glory on that 8” screen. Telepresence they call it. 

For those who are already lookin’ for a loophole, this thing runs WinXP Pro. If you manage to find the hard drive and crash it…well you have a clue!
