If it's going to basically be your personal assistant, why does it need to look like a child? Sounds creepy.

This could be the ultimate answer for couples who don't want kids but who want their nagging parents off their cases. Just avoid contact for 6-8 years then invite them over to meet your "child".

Between this and the fact that all these people who walk around with those phones attached to their ears look like Borg to me, I feel like I'm watching all the horrors of film come to life before my eyes.

This does sound a bit scary. I think the word I am looking for here is YIKES!!
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

I'm reminded - again - of Malcolm's line from JURRASIC PARK: "You scientists spend so much time trying to figure out if you CAN do something, that you never stop to think whether or not you SHOULD."

wow... this is really strange, but kind of cool? I don't know... I would want to see a picture first, and it's expensive! Geez, but I guess they will be for the elite.

Well, Japanese cartoons don't look human either, so how realistic can you expect them to be with a robot?
