Two magazine tidbits

[Pleasureunit]

Hola', ya'll. Just recently found two tiny lil' teasers in some magazines. First off, Discover Magazine's March ish features an article by Christine Kenneally entitled: "AIBO as Research Tool". Though the piece is about the toy dog, the intro line is fetching: "Sony's AIBO robotic dog is a peek at a bizarre future when you won't know if the dog--or the pretty girl walking it--is flesh and blood or plastic and memory chips." Unfortunately, no further mentions of gynoids, but there ARE some interesting interior views of this mecanical pooch (sorry, I do not have scanner capabilities).
Also, there are print ads now for the Honda ASIMO droid (this is the four-foot walking unit that looks vaguely Star Wars stormtrooperish) posed amidst a typical happy family. Found myself hoping the wife and/or daughter were also to be revealed as robots, but blast it all, no luck yet...).
