The real reason for buying the new pet robot.

On: Sony To Release New Pet Robot By Year's End

"A man that hates dogs and small children can't be all bad"

So, imagine this: You are the not-so-happy owner of an Aibo pet dog named, - well "Aibo". After the initial joy about the dog is over, you are starting to get frustrated: You need to walk the dog, feed (recharge) the dog, and the d... dog will pee on your favourite carpet. Personally you'd rather be having a beer.

In comes "The new Sony Pet Robot(TM)": (S)he will be able to do all the chores with your pet robot dog: Walk him, feed him. And also to thow the carpet out when the dog has peed on it.

The pet robot will even take the pet robot dog to agility training every Sunday afternoon while you are hosting a barbercue.

Need I say more?

To quote from NYTImes:

Doctors do not yet know whether Adam's cells will cure his sister, who has Fanconi anemia, a rare, inherited disease that often leads to leukemia

So lets hope Adam don't develop Fanconi amemia him self....

Re:Great!!! More Government!!!

On: New Patent Bill Introduced

Come on! Do you suggest that existing laws should not apply on the internet, just because they are difficult to enforce?

Do you honestly mean that child porn is acceptable or should not be fought against just because it appears on the internet?

Then what about internet fraud or fraud done during internet commerce? Shouldn't we fight that too?

PS. Have someone patented crime on the internet or is that too obvious? :->
