The HRP-4C Model Robot Is Programmed to Work…It

The HRP-4C robot was not programmed to please families like Asimo. Nor will she save/destroy humanity like a Terminator. Rather, she’s taking the fashion world by storm as Tokyo’s next top model.

Inna Final Analysis: Why Watchmen Doesn’t Quite Work (and Why It Does)

“Half the reviews say it’s too true to the book, and the other half say it doesn’t do it justice,” my darlingdearest said as we left for Watchmen. And both takes could be accurate.
