Is nothing sacred?

Jul 10: Is nothing sacred?

Seriously, this time they've gone too far! I'm fine with robots that play chess, vacuum my floor, build my cars, milk my cows or raise my kids, but an air hockey playing robot is over the line!

Robots aim to top humans at air hockey (via Slashdot)

First, a supercomputer beats a chess master. Then, an artificial intelligence program deals defeat to a poker champion. Next: A robot takes on humans in air hockey.

In a comment on slashdot, Idontgno says it best:

First they're beating us at chess, then at air hockey... pretty soon they're rolling around yelling "EX..TER..MI..NATE", disintegrating us, and avoiding staircases.
