From TFA: A new robot can recognize the difference between a mirror image of itself and another robot that looks just like it.
ok, nice. But also from TFA: blue, red or green LEDs connected to artificial neurons in the region that light up when different information is being processed, based on the robot's behavior.
so... what we actually have is just a flashing-LEDs-based handshaking?
ok, I do understand that even for a flashing LED protocol to recognize itself on a mirror is no simple task, but to jump from that and claim the robot can recognize "the difference between a mirror image of itself"... Talk about sensationalism.

you'd better take care, my friend. Looks like they're modding down brazilians who know English better than americans.
and how do we know that you are not being coerced into saying that in an attempt by the US government to negate the chinese bloggers' attempt to stop the BBC's excessive "censorship in China" coverage?
One of the best bugs^H^H^H^H features of the first two GTAs was the fun-packed, sync-less net play! I remember playing it in my school's computer lab (which had a very laggy network) with other "students":
Player 1: HA! Burn, mother fucker!
Player 2: What do you mean? I just ran over you!
Player 3: Hey guys, will you stop walking towards the building's walls?
Slashdot Mirror
Found a link to the Mac version torrent.
Just for completeness, I found it on this topic.

Now my Christmas will be GRRRRRREAT!

Yes, you are right. But no, you are wrong.

Why, buy a WordTank! (or any other Denshi Jiten)
Which country is likely to be next? South Korea, perhaps?
I wouldn't be surprised if Apple were to launch an "iTMS Mauritius" or some other unexpected country, tho.

Not only that, but the first two letters brings Artificial Intelligence to mind.
but rather than the Necronomicon, I'd recommend reading the Gastronomicon. Yum, fried Chtulhu tentacles...
