HA HA HA...

i saw the QRIOs at the CES 2 weeks ago. i thought they were the hit of the show for me.

the big sony show sarted with 2 QRIOs dancing a breakdancing moves..

too bad i didnt have my video cam with me...

here's a link to an audio less video:

considering the sony aibo (robot dog) retails for $1600, and i talk to a couple engineers there and said the QRIO was like 2-3 more stuff, i estimate them to be in the 5 figure range IF AND WHEN sony does decide to sell 'em...

Logically, the stupid rich people will be the first ones killed when those cute little robots decide that they should be superior to humans because their plastic skin is stain resistant and turn on their nuclear fusion cannons, probably hidden inside those eyes so they can have crazy laser beam attacks.
