  6. Re:Strange solution on Flippy the Robot Takes Over Burger Duties At California Restaurant (ktla.com) · · Score: 1

    A 10-year old kid can be trained to flip a burger.

    Now why must the robot be equipped with 2 hands? I agree with your sentiment about 10 year olds doing the same thing.
     
    Don't take away the human if you're technically replacing him. Might as well put an H1B hopeful in there. Add an extra arm, or something, so the robot can do Facebook! or post memes on imgur =)

    Not sure why the headline felt the need to mention that this company is Chinese though. What relevance does it have?

    Yes; good question. This isn't a war, where the arms supplier makes a difference. These are phones, FFS. If you aren't even aware that Xiaomi is a Chinese firm by now, go crawl back underneath that rock from whence you came. Or get some sun once in a while, the food isn't the cause of that stench in the basement of your mom's dwelling.

    I for one *do* purchase CDs (especially for artists who have died) Granted, they may have passed on, but hey, in my time of need their voice was there.

    The fact that they use Post-Its to write their passwords down has been normal behavior for some time now it seems. Why is this guy put front and center? This charade should end -- so don't even start --or end -- with him.
