   I, for one, welcome our new robot masters.

   Sorry, I appear to have Slashdot on the brain. Couldn’t resist.
   I AM finding myself recalling one of the first scenes in Robocop, where they show of the new ED-209 (and he errors in the only way a machine in a Paul Verhoven movie can - with lots of bullets).

   The scariest part…”Unlike domestic bots already released in Japan, the Korean bots will be relatively cheap, since they use the network to perform much of their computational work instead of internal hardware and software.”

   All I can think of is SkyNet in the Terminator movies.
