The thing I found interesting is they say in the article:
"More importantly, we have found that people forget she is an android while interacting with her. Consciously, it is easy to see that she is an android, but unconsciously, we react to the android as if she were a woman."
Sounds like they might have actually gotten past the Uncanny Valley, if people are knowing it's an android, yet accepting it. I would think this is because they are hitting the right cues that were being missed before!
But people often treat puppets as real even when they can see the puppeteers. Although in that case they are interacting with a real human, albeit not directly.
Two things bother me about its design, though. One, the Enter key. The enter key is the most important key; why is it that every other company thinks they can change it and it won't bother people? My enter key is a one-row two-column rectangle to the left of the apostrophe, and that's the way I like it. On the layout they show, the Enter key is a big 2x2 rectangle, and they put, of all things, a backslash key and a blank key where it should have been. I suppose I could remap it, but there's no reason for that.
The Where once was a comma article on the site explains that standard keyboard layouts are not wide enough to comfortably accomodate the length of the Russian alphabet.
"Prior to installing Firefox 1.0.5, please ensure that the directory you've chosen to install into is clean and doesn't contain any previous Firefox installations."
and this,
"When upgrading, all your Extensions and Themes will be disabled. This is not an issue, but it may appear to be one (hence its listing here). For rationale, see "Extension and Themes" above."
Surely that's a contradiction. If you install into a new directory then you aren't going to get your old extentions.
"Websites that proved difficult for Firefox users to navigate included the government website Jobcentreplus.gov.uk..."
It's buried away in the FAQ, but "you can also search the Jobcentre Plus jobs database by visiting http://www.worktrain.gov.uk/", which does work with FireFox.
It's not perfect. There are too many pages before you get to results, they don't make logging in very easy and it doesn't handle having multiple tabs open well, but it's better than the Jobcentreplus.gov.uk site and seems to find more relevant results.
Having said that I still seem to find more jobs I want to apply for on http://www.jobsite.co.uk/ than any other site.
A colleague asked me for an easy way to convert Excell files to text the other day, I knew it could be done in perl but I was too lazy to work it out. So thanks, you've saved me some time and my colleague a heck of a lot more time.

NetCaptor also handles it properly, and NC uses the IE engine.
Don't forget the line returns :)
print join("\t", @data) . "\n";
Thanks, that's actualy been of some use to me.

Was it part two?
