Yah, I just read about that; it looks really cool. But can it interface with an X-Wing?

It runs Windows?

...

No thanks. I have enough trouble with my inanimate computer. I don't want a psycho robot with a probe arm chasing me everytime Windows crashes.

It looks like it is designed to help in bomb squads...

Cop 1: "...reporting in a homicide at Almond Rock Park. Two kids are dead and the suspect appears to be a 912 Robotic. Witnesses say the robot went berserk."

Cop 2: "Did you get a possible motive for the crime?"

Cop 1: "Not sure... something about a 'Blue screen of death'?"

Reminds me of the robot kits from the '80s like HERO. http://www.robotswanted.com/robotgallery/heathkit/

I wouldn't feel all that much safer using that either...

No, I think it's all wonderful, but I really don't want my intelligent robot to be running the most insecure operating system in the world. Frankly, I'd prefer it if my intelligent robot didn't run ANY commercial OS.

But honestly, when I read the part about it running Windows, that image was the very first thing that popped into my head. Some guy, running down a street, chased by his Robot, which has a probe arm extended along with some sort of electric welder. The man is screaming. The robot had a system crash.

[edit] 'one of the most insecure'? What the hell was I thinking when I wrote that... [/edit]

Does the robot come with a mini-fridge compartment inside to keep one can of beer cold at all times?

And then it could launch bottles to you from across the room like R2D2!
