Used "Goo Gone" many times for similar things and it removes even very old and dirty sticker glue just perfectly.

I use Goo Gone for getting stickers and adhesive residue off of books and such, and since it doesn't damage paperback books, it should be fine for plastic surfaces. It's available at most any hardware store.

Visit your local Home Despot or whatever, grab a small bottle of Goo Gone. It's pretty much apply, wait a few moments, and then wipe away and the problem's gone.

The closest the academic world has come to these subjects in recent memory was Douglas Hofstadter's standing-room-only Spiritual Robots Symposium back in 2001.

So academia is staying away from this? Could it have something to do with how flakey this whole thing is? Watch out for the grey goo, and make sure your tin-foil hat is fastened tight. And if the goo comes, maybe some Goo Gone will do the trick.

It has all the trimmings, like those "made for windows 2k stickers" that get the screen all nasty when you close it.

for those annoying stickers

GooGone

Using Velcro (with its adhesive backing) would be fine if it weren't for the residue and stuff, right? Well, try getting it off with Goo Gone. It does a great job of getting adhesives off. It does warn that it "may dull some plastics", so try it on an inconspicuous place first (like the inside of the battery cover, but please don't squirt any inside).
