Webcam is part witch, part Pinocchio

A reader named Jenny wrote in to alert us to the Devil Angel Baby Webcam featured on PCLaunches.com, and we'd just like to say: Thanks, Jenny! If we have nightmares tonight, we're blaming them on you.

Some might call this little Windows-only camera "cute," but we prefer the term "mutant." The blue-haired rubber gadget has a USB Webcam built into its face, making it not only a freaky desktop accessory, but a handy video-conferencing tool. It can capture or display video at 1,280x960 at up to 15fps, and sells online for $14.99, plus $5 shipping.

As an added bonus, Angel's witch-hat-adorned head can rotate 360 degrees, giving it that Linda Blair-in-The Exorcist feel.
