A Flickr gallery of science-fiction imposed vintage postcards. It's neat, but I have but one thing to say. FAKE!111!!!!
A walking humanoid robot that is able to use its whole face and body to express emotion was unveiled today. How is this creepy monstrosity going to help the elderly by effectively miming disgust?
