New AIBO Demo'd

I still dig on AIBO, but until it is smart enough to home in on its base station and recharge itself when its batteries are running low, it's hard to consider AIBO ready for prime time.

    I find it incredible how the slashdot editorship can't manage to correct such a blatant example of apostrophe misuse. It's Demoed. The apostrophe is used to indicate possesion, or a shortening of the word, not randomy when you feel like it might look better. Does the AIBO belong to the demo? Is there a missing letter in that word? Nope.

    Please slashdot, if you want to be viewed as a decent information source, the least you could do would be to at least give articles a cursory check for spelling before slamming them up on the site. Please.
