The picture on this story is of the Predator, an aircraft controlled by human pilots, just by remote control. Therefore, your television is almost as much a robot as the Predator. Thanks for alerting us about the story, it was informative, but I wouldn’t mind if a source of science was a little more accurate.
(I tried to comment at newscientist, but apparently my computer’s anti-virus program won’t let me. Oh, well. In case my comment does show up there, I thought comparing the Predator to a couch was funnier, but it isn’t accurate, which is why I wanted to comment there and here in the first place.)
