Professor Ishiguro believes that it may prove possible to build an android that could pass for a human, if only for a brief period. "An android could get away with it for a short time, 5-10 seconds. However, if we carefully select the situation, we could extend that, to perhaps 10 minutes," he said.

hmmmm.... 10 minutes, you say?

Great, talk about breakdowns... at least this one just costs a chunk up front, with scheduled checkups...

Let's call her Neo-Woman, and put a ticker around her head, so we can catch sports scores.

All I can think of is that Citibank commercial where the woman is sitting getting a manicure and the voice of a teenage male is saying "and 20,000 bucks to complete my robot, my GIRL robot. This is gonna be the best prom ever!"

Sad, very sad.

Thank you God for giving me the confidence reach out, take the hand of a real girl and give her a kiss....

Where's the "down" button on this thing?

If she comes with a mute button I'm in!

A competent programmer ought to be able to write code modules like:

GetBeerFromRefrigerator()

MakeSammich()

etc.

For what that thing must have cost they could have at least made her Hot. I mean Denise Richards can only fool you into thinking she is human for like 5-10 seconds too. Hot dumb broads is a competative market. Fugly dummies....not so much.

Why doesn't someone make a droid that can slide under my teener and adjust the valves in a flash!!!!

I was always partial to the silver android from Lost In Space... the chick android, not the "Crush, Kill, Destroy" dude...
