Puppy Has Fun on Local Wine Tour
Ollii the pug spent this past weekend doing something he’d never done before: going on a wine tasting tour to a number of a local vineyards. And he loved it, according to friends.
The dog spent Saturday afternoon making his way through the Showangunk Wine Trail in New York’s Hudson Valley with friends Annie and Lisa.
“He didn’t actually drink any of the wine,” said companion Annie Williams, “but he devoured all the free cheese.”

REPORT: Kittens Love Windows 8 Touchscreen
Though sales of Windows 8 have been generally sluggish, the operating system has found a home amongst one user group: kittens.
According to a study released today from the NPD Group, cats are especially taken with the operating system’s focus on touch. Windows 8 makes up a majority of laptop sales to cats.
“Cat’s have historically had trouble operating the keyboard,” said NPD researcher Chad Mills. “They didn’t really get into computing wholesale until the iPad was released, but there still wasn’t a desktop suited to a touch interface that made sense for them. Windows 8 changed all that.”
Windows 8 computers have been selling fast among felines. The Best Buy in Levittown, NY reports that all laptop sales to cats this year have been Windows 8 machines.
“But to be fair, that’s like two computers total. Cats don’t shop here very much,” said store manager Selma Shiffley, which is surprising, because Petco is right next door.

STUDY: Dogs Also Look Silly Wearing Google Glass
A new study from the University of Waterloo in Canada has concluded that dogs looks even more ridiculous than people when wearing Google Glass.
“Wearable computer is clearly the future,” said lead researching Avery Bayard, citing the aforementioned Glass, as well as Samsung’s Galaxy Gear smartwatch. “But the manufacturers have work to do to make them attractive.”
According to their research, a majority of people thought that Google Glass just looked strange on those wearing it. That number was even more pronounced for dogs.
“There are definitely advantages to these devices,” said Bayard, “but fashion isn’t one of them.”
