So true and well-said. Grad students' first papers should be reproducing results from other published papers and they should be accepted for publication if well-conducted and well-written. Wish I had mod points.
Your "eventually" will be very very long away in the future. Even Lieutenant Commander Data in the 24th century has trouble replacing human. The pool boy example somewhere above is a great example. No robot in the foreseeable will replace the pool boy, even if the robot does pool better than the pool boy. The are many jobs that robots cannot replace, such as pool boy, waitress, sommelier, chef, and many other service jobs. What human needs to do is to adjust how we value stuff in our life.
While they have great fuel efficiency, their power is not acceptable in the US market. People often whine about things like "merge-into-traffic", with good reasons...
IH-10 in parts of west Texas has a speed limit of 80 mph, and it may become 85 mph soon. I have driven that route several times. The fuel consumption of my 2.4L sedan decreases from about 34 mpg to about 29 mpg when the speed increases from about 65 mph to 85 mph.
The very well written story How Digital Detectives Deciphered Stuxnet, the Most Menacing Malware in History on Wired.com describes an attack on an Iranian nuclear plant through inserting frequency changing commands sent to the PLC to damage centrifuges. The papers the OP mentioned are probably something very important if encrypted FPGA bit streams can indeed be meaningfully tampered with easily.
The medium height of 90 cm for human is at about 25-30 months old. I don't think it's a good idea for human children of that age to pilot any real test plane...
The smart phone is not totally a hype. It serves kind of like a proof of concept or a demo. If the reduced model can be run on a smart phone quickly and accurately enough, it can be run on similar embedded devices. This could possibly be commercialized pretty quickly.
Before I came to the US a few years ago, I never heard of such things as "carrier-locked phones." Every phone in my country (in Asia) is unlocked; there are even phones with 2 SIM slots that you can go with 2 carriers at the same time. Subsidies can be done in either the carrier level or the retail level, or sometimes both. All that's required is to sign a contract, and many chose not to. In the US, many more expensive phones still costs $100~$200+ even with subsidy. It looks just plain wrong when you pay for that phone but can't bring it to another carrier after the contract terminates.
I kind of hope it can be in 4 colors -- off/black/red/blue. One of my professors used his Tablet PC as the blackboard for his writing in class, and published them on his website after each class. I also use mine for taking personal notes and designing whatever that needs sketches -- state diagrams, block diagrams, or even formulas. I like it better than on paper, because correcting errors is much easier. But Tablet PCs are so far still too bulky. And I, as well as that professor, do often use more than one ink color, usually 2 or 3 colors, for our purpose.

That's also what amazed me and gave me the doubt of credibility at first. However, Xinhua Net is one of China's official news agency...

Believe is not for facts.
BTW, I don't believe in global warming. Facts just show that it is happening.
How the US has become one of the most scientifically/technologically advanced country on Earth in the past hundred years is beyond me...
Eh.. if you work at Apple, you get to develop the next generation of marketing technology...

Well, they actually plan to do it starting 2018, and we may have a sample around 2022: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_sample_return_mission

I just discovered 4 new plants just by reading slashdot. I'm pretty pleased with myself.
You stared at your monitor for so long that plants grew out of it?
They are navy.
But in this case, Level 3 is not a backbone provider anymore -- it becomes Netflix's ISP/CDN, and it looks like two ISPs connecting to each other...
On the other hand, I'd like to have a replay button for some hot ads...

Houston, not Dallas or San Antonio, was the only major city that was red in one recent national election, if I recall it correctly.
