Lurker, i know your feeling now.................

Nice show. If you think that's something you should check out Honda's next generation ASIMO. It can even run and it is life-size. I've been following his career for the last few years and it's just getting more and more life-like. Interesting stuff.

ASIMO is Linux, QRIO is Windows XP.

I fail to recognize the motive behind your apparent thirst for ABC (Attention By Comparison), but, yeah, whatever you say, bud. I was simply mentioning, while on the topic of a little, technologically advanced robot, that there is also a very interesting life-size, technologically advanced robot some individuals might happen to find intriguing.

Thanks for dissing me.

Just saying, QRIO has rounded edges and is supposed to be cute and user-friendly. ASINO is (from the impression you make on me) faster, stronger, better, and more technologically advanced. Besides which, QRIO is an "entertainment robot", while from what I gather from the quick glance I took at the website, ASINO is more the object of intensive research. QRIO is all plated over with covers to prevent fingers getting caught, and looks somewhat more organic; ASINO is more exposed, and is clearly a robot.

Accordingly, QRIO is likely to be more appealing than ASINO for the average home robot-buyer, and use of ASINO will likely be restricted to those people who don't plan to use it as a household pet.

The comparison between Windows and Linux struck me as rather fitting, but I apologize if it offended you.
