Google should start a partnership program for Google+ like they have for Youtube. Popular bloggers should get a percentage of the ad revenue based on the number of people who have added them to their circles times the number of posts. Or maybe better based on the total number of +1s they receive in a given time period.
I think the safest way to assure it doesn't harm humans is to make it light, small and not very strong like Asimo. There's no need to have an industrial strength robot doing the dishes or cleaning the house. If it can lift 10kg (a bucket of water) it's powerful enough for most household tasks and too feeble to do much damage even to children.
Semiconductors can't get smaller than about 5 nm. If intel keeps up it's tick tock planning it will hit ~6nm by 2018. Other technologies may extend Moore's law somewhat but it's unlikely we can make components smaller than an atom (about 1 nm) in the foreseeable future.
I've played the beta for 2 weeks @ 4 hours/day (IAABT). DDO looks great and is well made but I can't recommend it because of an utter lack of content. After the beta I had a level 7 and level 6 toon, having played every dungeon to boredom. Hard core players maxed out their first character in less than 2 weeks.
During the last week of the beta the hardest part in starting a party was deciding what to do: noone cared anymore which dungeon to go to.

a meID/163 before spending time and money on this dud.

I'm very disappointed.
