As if its launches at MWC or the rumors of it quitting the handset business weren’t evidence enough that Motorola is on the slide, Giz brings you cold, hard proof that the once-mighty handset division of the company is now fallen: a diamond-encrusted Bluetooth headset. The Motopure H12 is available in two versions: Lots of Diamonds; and Even More Diamonds. Top-end model (that’s nearly three-and-a-half carats’ worth of ice) will cost you $17,000. Wait a couple of years and you’ll probably be able to buy the division for that. [Aving]

As a Wii owner, I’ve been using the Wii-mote sans wrist strap since the thing snapped within a week of using it. Since then, never have I ever had a problem with accidentally hurtling it into my TV. However, that might be because after reading all the horror stories of Wii-punctured flat panels, I picked up a couple rubberized battery covers for some extra traction.
The total out of pocket cost to me for piece of mind was $6.99 plus tax for two battery covers. If you’re looking for the same piece of mind, you might be tempted to purchase similar accessories. Bah, I state. Why not just buy a Wii-proof TV instead and feel content to beat the hell out of it with your game controllers?
Panasonic hopes that you’ll take my advice and buy its tougher-than-normal LCD screens, which were recently announced in Valencia. The magically coated panels are tough enough to withstand up to 4 joules, which is probably really impressive if you’re into the joule scene. No word yet on price, availability, or consumer interest.

YouTube is borrowing a page from parent Google with today’s Valentine’s Day inspired logo. Just thought you’d all want to know. Also: There are close to 2,200 clips that are returned when you search “Shatner” on YouTube. Some are better than others. ShareThis

Just wanted to state thanks for reading us today when you should be scrambling around, trying to find a way to impress your certain someone, which you won’t do, because his or her friend bought their signif a ride in a horse drawn carriage, and while your homemade dinner and high-priced wine and diamond necklace seemed perfect, it just doesn’t compare, of course you tried your hardest, but it will never be enough.
You complete us!

At this point, I think it’s safe to state that we’re living in the future. And what kind of sucker in the future carries his own luggage when there are robot slaves to do it for them? Luckily, the Kita Kyushu airport in Japan is now offering RoboPorters to help travelers tote their baggage. As of right now, it just knows how to bring people to bus stops and taxi stands, so you can’t use it to get to your car, but it’s a hint at what’s to come in the even more distant and lazy future. Hooray! [Robot Watch via Digital World Tokyo]
