And in other news...

Sex robots. If there's one thing that drives technological innovation, it's sex. Needless to say the idea of sex robots has been around for quite some time (Spielberg's A.I. for example), but so far the tech just hasn't really been there to pull it off.

Well ladies and gents...but mostly gents...for a mere $7,000 you can have your own lifelike talking sex robot that comes preloaded with 5 distinct personalities, A.I. software, and personable traits like talking in her sleep (which can be turned off).

The wave of the future, my friends.
