Hamster Reviews New Kindle Fire HD

Though most tech writers reviewed the latest line of Kindle Fire tablets last month, hamster tech expert Millie likes to take her time with new devices.  That’s why she waited until today to publish her full review of the new Kindle Fire HD.

Verdict?  She loves it.  

“Millie was very pleased with the new Kindle Fire HD,” said her editor, Jane Ford. “It’s faster, the screen is better and you can’t beat Amazon’s library of media content.”

Millie’s review covers the 7" version of the tablet. She’s still working on her review of the 8.9" model because, as Ford told us, “it takes longer for her to navigate the bigger screen.”

Hamster Invents Dance Craze

“The Murray,” a new dance invented by namesake Murray the hamster, is sweeping the nation.  From clubs to classrooms, from The Today Show to YouTube, the Murray is reportedly the hottest new dance craze and everyone is doing it.

When video of Murray performing his now signature dance gyrations first surfaced on the Internet last year, it didn’t go very far.  But after late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel aired the video on his show last month, things really took off.

“Life has certainly changed for Murray,” said close friend Anita Roth.  "He’s getting calls daily from reporters all over the world, invited to perform on TV… It’s nuts.  He’s going to be on Ellen next week!“

Internet historians say they haven’t seen anything like this since the "Hamster Dance” of the mid-90s.

Plastic hamster balls have become cliche. So says French company Hamwishes, which just revealed the latest in hamster mobile technology: the invisible ball.

“It uses a complex array of cameras, mirrors and displays to simulate invisibility,” says Hamwishes spokesperson Jacque Soray. “It will look like your hamster is just crawling around on the floor, but trust us – he’s in a high tech invisible ball.”

STUDY: Most Hamsters Still Have Feature Phones

It’s a well-documented fact that hamsters love cell phones, but a new study from the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds that the majority of hamsters are still using feature phones.

The study, released on Wednesday, indicates that only 14% of hamsters have upgraded to smartphones (and of those, Blackberry is surprisingly the most popular variety by a wide margin), while most hamsters still use so-called “dumb phones.”

“Our research indicates that for hamsters, the most important activity is texting,” said lead researcher Fabio Million.  According to Million, many hamsters are on a fixed income and spend the majority of their money on an unlimited texting plan and then just go with whatever free phone is being offered by the carrier.  

“Hamsters don’t generally go on the web much, so paying for a data plan just doesn’t make sense,” he continued.

Hamster to Tickle Ivories at President Obama’s Election Night Party

The Democratic National Committee and the Obama-Biden Campaign have announced that a little-known Hamster named Brad will provide the main entertainment at the campaign’s election night party in November.  

“Brad is a registered Republican who voted for the President in 2008 and plans to do so again,” said the campaign’s assistant communications coordinator, Tanya Riley.  "He’s also a very talented pianist and will surely have the crowd on its feet with his signature ragtime stylings.“
