Might make a great (and unobtrusive) security camera or webcam..." I just want them to produce the Cerberus ? version.

    If former decade was about internet boom and network connectivity, the next will definetely be about robotics. The problem about robotics today is that they are tough to build - I mean the development of both hardware and software was until now the domain of academic work.

Just imagine the possibilies of entering mainstream at an affordable prize. The whole robotics market and development will boom and soon you will able to program your own humanoid machine to do some serious work for you around the house. History repeats itself. Our society will again be built on slaves (for some time). After that ...
