A whole lot better than that other thing they developed, which sounded like it ran on a swarm of angry bees!!! Was like a chainsaw on steroids! It was more of a military pack mule.

One of the ladies I worked with back in the day of DOS 3.3 would apologize to the computer every time it beeped due to her making an invalid entry or causing an error. I kept telling her that the computer did not even have a microphone to here her apology and even if it did I would not care since it has no feelings to hurt.

So you apologize to your rental car when you drive it hard and hit a hard bump?
In the PC world we live in now it wont take long until you will HAVE to apologize! Soon it will be defined by law that computers have feelings! Our feelings wil be the feeling sof the computer, so hurting our feelings will hurt the associated computers feelings.

It is a crappy world we will live in soon if we dont make it stop or at least have a little resistance against the development!

If people don't like seeing street signs in Spanish or Chinese, they're really going to be pissed when they start putting up street signs in QR Code.

You have to say, that's getting pretty impressive. Readily available gyroscopes and fast processors really changed the game in making an upright two legged robot. You can only hope that power and AI are going to be fundamental issues not solved anytime soon. But you know it is coming - give it another 100 years ...

I can't wait to go to "West World" - but before Yul Brynner goes sideways.
