    Robot help for the future

    I knew that robotics had come along way but I didn't know they were this close to launching a fully functional domestic assistant.

    See above URL (which is a superbly designed web site imo too)

    That's a cool bit of rendering

    I like the apple rip-off commercial too hehe

    Can I get my NS-5 to do my taxes?

    Actually...Yes! The NS-5 comes equipped with AddEmUp the most widely deployed Accounting and Tax software for personal and small business use. Once sync'd to your account records, the NS-5 will file your taxes and receive a wire, via satellite, within 15 minutes with [fingers crossed] your return.
    ROFL!

    Found the movie info btw

    Scrap what I just said, the screenplay is written by Akiva Goldsman, who has written such gems as Lost in Space and Batman and Robin. 'Last one to bag a bad guy buys the beer'.
