A Chicken In Every Pot, A Robot In Every Home
Palm Addict writes "The New York Times report that "South Korea, the world's most wired country, is rushing to turn what sounds like science fiction into everyday life. The government, which succeeded in getting broadband Internet into 72 percent of all households in the last half decade, has marshaled an army of scientists and business leaders to make robots full members of society.""
"It seems to me that even the smartest robots [spacedaily.com] are still only about as intellectually capable as me and my roommates after a heavy night of drinking." They vomit on the floor, have unprotected sex and post on Slashdot ?
Pot in every home, Robot Chicken on TV.

I don't know that it takes alot of intelligence for a robot to bring you a beer or give you a hand job.
That is what they are for, isn't it?
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!
Give 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist...
I thought the "Killer App" was where the robots go around shooting people...
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
Plus, it would really demoralize the insurgency. They know they can scare us off if they keep killing soldures, but you can never kill enough robots.
Obligatory:
Zapp: You see, the killbots have a preset kill limit; knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.
Bender: It was a dark day for robotkind. Ahhhh, we can always build more killbots.
