69 5 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 We have a dyson, unfortunately not cordless. Cordless is a great idea. And I see it fits in a bracket that gets put on the wall. Also see it's 70,000 yen!! Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 they are not inexpensive, but if you compare it with a Rainbow: It's seems much more affordable. Link to post Share on other sites
ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 That looks heavy. My parent's one back home is ridiculous, the weight of the thing. My Mum can hardly drag the thing around now, in fact I don't think she does - it has become a Dad job. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Experts lobby UN for 'killer robot' ban 14 November 2013 Last updated at 15:43 GMT Campaigners against the development of fully autonomous weapons, known as "killer robots", have urged the United Nations to draft an global treaty outlawing their use. Professor Noel Sharkey, from the International Committee for Robot Arms Control, travelled to Geneva to lobby members of the Convention on Conventional Weapons. It will vote on Friday on whether it should consider imposing a moratorium on unmanned weaponry. Mr Sharkey told the BBC's Today programme that the launch of pilotless planes like the US navy's X-47B moved the world a step closer to the deployment of fully autonomous weapons. It made aviation history in July by successfully landing on a aircraft carrier, without any human involvement. I'm all for banning killer robots. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 They were freaked about the "fully autonomous" bit meaning no human decision making. Great for hunting Taliban, but what if they go berserk. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Robots will be smarter than us all by 2029, warns AI expert Ray Kurzweil By 2029, computers will be able to understand our language, learn from experience and outsmart even the most intelligent humans, according to Google’s director of engineering Ray Kurzweil. One of the world’s leading futurologists and artificial intelligence (AI) developers, 66-year-old Kurzweil has previous form in making accurate predictions about the way technology is heading. In 1990 he said a computer would be capable of beating a chess champion by 1998 – a feat managed by IBM’s Deep Blue, against Garry Kasparov, in 1997. When the internet was still a tiny network used by a small collection of academics, Kurzweil anticipated it would soon make it possible to link up the whole world. Now, Kurzweil says than within 15 years robots will have overtaken us, having fulfilled the so-called Turing test where computers can exhibit intelligent behaviour equal to that of a human.
