This is ridiculous, if this is a robot, than my car is a robot. If I kick over a mannequin does that make it a robot, or kick a pot off the stove?

I wish people, and the press, would stop publishing petty stupid stories like this. A robot is clearly not an inanimate object requiring direct control by a human, like a remote controlled car, a giant puppet maybe.

I read the article and could not help but think this was a clever parody of the design and build of the Itanium 2.

A bit like Animal Farm.

Wink or nod if your on the same frequency ... 

Don't be too obvious about it or Paul's Ecret Police will descend upon us.
