Virtual Girlfriend

Sven-Erik writes " BBC News reports about a Hong Kong based company called Artificial Life that has developed a solution for men without a partner, in the form of a virtual girlfriend that appear as an animated figure on the video screen of a mobile phone. But there is a downside to the virtual girlfriend - she will require more flowers and gifts than many real women. All virtual girls will look the same - but each girl will behave differently - depending on how much money is spent on her. In return, she will introduce them to different aspects of her life, like letting them meet her female friends - also electronic images. Artificial Life is hoping to launch the new game later this year, on the latest 3-G mobile phones.

It must have been some mistake

[Pan T. Hose]

I don't know--and quite frankly I'm not sure whether I want to know--who is that CmdrTaco, if that is his real name, but I believe it must have been some mistake to post news about "company called Artificial Life that has developed a solution for men without a partner, in the form of a virtual girlfriend" on the Slashdot frontpage. I--and I'm sure I can safely speak for every slashdotter--find this news completely uninteresting and the "solution" unnecessary. Also, it's a dupe.
