Quote of the Day

Instapundit Glenn Reynolds cracking wise about a story of a Chinese fellow who built a super robot with lifelike mannerisms.

I predict very rapid progress on sexbot technology, driven by China’s extreme gender imbalance. 

That's his prediction, I predict exports of this technology will be very popular among the poorly socialized in other countries, including the U.S. Besides sex, I see them providing "companionship" and care for the lonely, especially the elderly. I propose a generic term for such units: "soft hardware."
