CES 2018: Sorry, folks, but I'm going to pass on this Lovebox gadget

The Lovebox is a better gift than flowers for Valentine's Day,  (c|net, 2/8/2018)

Everything about this box is endearing and unassuming: The size, the curved corners, the silent way the heart spins and the black-and-white display. It is refreshing to see how Lovebox integrates messaging into something so discreet. There's no loud notifications or lights to get your attention -- just a palm-sized spinning heart. 

The Lovebox costs $99.

Calling the B52's!!



"Love Shack" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending September 2, 1989.  It spent 27 weeks on the chart, peaking at #3.
