- Independent robot is all GRACE and charm - A group of scientists
who set out to build a robot with human social skills may have actually improved on
humanity: Their creation courteously steps aside for people, smiles during conversation
and politely asks directions. The 6-foot robot, named GRACE, for Graduate Robot Attending
Conference, will wander a symposium on artificial intelligence that begins this weekend,
where it will demonstrate its good manners. It will try to sign in at the registration
desk, find a conference room, give a speech and answer questions.
- Criminal investigation into Korean human cloning - South Korea
is launching
a criminal investigation into a claim that a Korean woman is pregnant with a cloned
embryo, it was announced on Friday. The claim was made by the Korean office of a human
cloning company called Clonaid. The company was set up by a US-based religious cult, the
Raelian Movement, which believes that humans were created by extraterrestrials using
cloning.
- Sony loses Australian copyright case - A federal judge in
Australia ruled Friday that mod chips sold for the original PlayStation do not
infringe on Sony copyright protections under Australian laws, which are similar to the
U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The decision comes a week after a Canadian man was
sentenced to probation and fined $17,000 for selling mod chips and pirated games for
Sony's PlayStation 2.
- Fighter plane's laser may blind civilians - American
defence contractors are developing a laser weapon for fighter aircraft that may be
powerful enough to blind people on the ground, even if they are relatively far from the
target, New Scientist can reveal. The
100-kilowatt infrared laser, which is being developed for the F35 Joint Strike Fighter
by defence companies Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, is far more powerful than any laser
ever used in war. But because it is designed to attack targets such as other fighter
aircraft, ground vehicles and anti-aircraft batteries, it is exempt from the Geneva
Convention's ban on blinding weapons.

In my eyes, all Americans are like Lance Armstrong, you first have to rip their balls off, before they can become men... |
