    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha

    We can't cure the common cold, but soon we will have flesh eating killer robots. Awesome.

    Well, I don't know that we can't cure the cold, but I have never heard about it. Never heard about "biomass" eating robots until today so who knows?

    “We completely understand the public’s concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population, but that is not our mission”

    David Stern should put out a press release announcing that.

    Who even knew about this robot to be worried about it consuming human flesh?

    All companies should. Well, except those who really are designing robots that feed on the human population...that'd be deceptive.

    I'd feel more reassured. Sometimes the idea that Apple is developing a cute, user-friendly flesh-eating robot keeps me awake at night.

    I always wanted to build a robot that was interested in flesh, but it was supposed to look like Kate Beckinsale.
