			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://nerdyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/robotsex.jpg" rel="lightbox[467]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-468" style="float: right;" title="robotsex" src="http://nerdyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/robotsex.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="148" /></a>The Internet first revolutionized the tech sector with great boom, as it stood for the availability of information and the possibility of maintaining communication with people over 10,000KM away. Then came the webcam so we can chat with people over the Internet while seeing them face-to-face, just like the other person is in the same room with you. Now, not only can you buy yourself a real life functioning robot, but you can also make love to it too.</p>
<p>Where did it all go wrong?</p>
<p><span id="more-467"></span></p>
<p>This honestly scares me. <a href="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080626/robot_love_080626/20080628?hub=SciTech" target="_blank">CTV.ca</a> covered a story stating that in the near future of 2050, we will be able to forget about the hardships and the trouble with finding a nice, honest, stable partner, and now will be able to find one just as easily in the next Sears catalogue.</p>
<p>You know society is doomed. Not only are we not investing the time, money and effort into producing a better society for all, but we&#8217;re literally playing God. We&#8217;re creating a cyborg that will please us in ways that we deeply want to be treating, and not only that, you can program the machine to be either naughty or nice! Now you can always have that slave girl with the childhood complex or have the Russian dominatrix by your side at all times&#8230; and best part of all, when you get tired of this one, you can trade it in for a new model!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m actually serious people! That&#8217;s what truly frightens me! We&#8217;re in a society now where tattoos, piercings, and child molesters are common place, so why not throw something else to keep it fresh right??</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still in shock and awe that researchers, scientists, machinists, engineers, and doctors have nothing else better to do then to make a over-priced sex toy, then doing something good for society like finding and making new cures for diseases, designing and building safer machines to work on, nor helping sick people. This article sure is definitely interesting, but seriously&#8230; What the hell??</p>
<p><a href="http://nerdyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/sam_angry_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[467]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-470" style="float: right;" title="sam_angry_2" src="http://nerdyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/sam_angry_2.jpg" alt="" width="119" height="117" /></a>All I have to say, is if the public demand skyrockets for these things (which it inevitably will), make sure you install the latest security patch or update, and don&#8217;t forget to provide regular maintenance on your new found glory. Remember that bodily fluid and electronics never mix, EVER. And honestly, who wouldn&#8217;t want to be with a guy like me (see picture &#8211;&gt;), then a Roomba that will always vacuum for you on command, and be utterly loyal, faithful, and dependable??</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>Now that I think about it, I think I need to get myself a carpet cleaner. More to come later!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" style="float: right;" src="http://gibbs.nerdyblog.com/avatars/sam_angry_1.JPG" alt="" width="120" height="120" />I was having a great day. I got all my chores done, playing my video games, talking to my woman, and then I get this message from Drew saying that the Iphone is coming to Canada.</p>
<p>Great.</p>
<p>Not only did my heart sink, but I knew the impending doom that&#8217;s about to happen.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I like the concept of the Iphone, and I know that it will &#8220;revolutionize&#8221; the cellular industry as we know it. It&#8217;s too bad the client base it&#8217;s aimed incorrectly.<span id="more-463"></span></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t like the Iphone for two reasons; A) It can&#8217;t do basic functions correctly (STILL no MMS, no Copy and Paste); B) Apple fanboys won&#8217;t shut the hell up about it.</p>
<p>When this blasphemous device came out in the states, the first things I heard were, &#8220;When&#8217;s the Iphone coming to Canada?&#8221;</p>
<p>That really destroyed the whole notion and the whole hype. I cannot stand how Apple fanboys will go to any lengths to prove that the Iphone is the be-all and end-all to all phones, but yet you still can&#8217;t send a picture to a friend of yours over the air without incurring redonkulous data charges.</p>
<p>Yes, the Iphone will make Rogers drop their data prices. Yes, Rogers is the first ones to carry it. Yes, we are getting the second generation Iphone. Yes, the phone consistently uses data. Yes, the Roger&#8217;s &#8220;Iphone Data Plan&#8221; will cost you an arm and a leg. Yes, replacing the screen on your Iphone will cost more then the phone itself. Yes, there are security issues with the device if you ever to plan on using this phone for business. Yes I&#8217;m about to blow my brains out.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not the only one that thinks this way: please, check out my friend Maddox in his posts <a href="http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=macs_cant" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Why do you think the Iphone flopped in Europe? One letter and two numbers: N95. Europeans have had touch screens, 3G, wifi, all this crap for a long, long time, and honestly, this is old news.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t mind me folks, maybe I&#8217;m just a bitter flunkie that thinks this is just hype&#8230; or maybe I&#8217;m just one of the few that thinks that everyone should shut the f**k up, enjoy the idea and move on with their lives.</p>
