    "The OMG factor on this dude is off the charts. You'll swear he's human, right down to his facial expressions. How does he do it? Revolutionary character-engine artificial intelligence software. Micro-camera eyes. More than 30 robotic micro motors. All running off a PC laptop (included, of course).

    Teach him to wink every time the wife walks by. Name him Mortimer. Pack him up in his suitcase and take the show on the road. OS platform? Memory cache? USB ports?"

    The comments here are hilarious: http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/06/75-000-robotic-swami-head-would-like-a-word-with-you/#comments

    Ok, that's just a little weird to have in the house. I already see the makings of a Twilight Zone short or Tales from the Crypt having that thing around.

    That would just be weird to have in the house.

    Maybe put it at the front entrance when you host a big party or something would be fun though.

    Seems like it could be an interesting thing but dunno if it's worth $75k though, for that much I want the thing to pass a Turing test. My personal choice would be the giant robot arm.

    Is that the Burger King doing a little moonlighting?
