The following headline caught my eye:
Japan drafts their own version of robot ethics
I don't know about everybody else, but seeing this sort of news just makes me nervous. It might have to do with the fact that we're quickly gaining on the so-called "not-too-distant future", and such laws are now seeming like an awfully good idea.
I wonder how long it will be before our new robot overlords start to pass their own laws on human ethics.

It makes me wonder what the Japanese are up to - I mean, it's a little "what do you know that we don't," don't you think?
That said, I love Japan. It's like looking at the future. A weird, wacky future.
By the way, we really liked your posts about the India trip - it sounds like you guys had an adventure!
I always got a kick out of being in Japan, at least during those times when I wasn't either stuck on bullet trains or rushing off to meetings via subways.
Japan has a whole different take on the world around them, and being there is really quite fascinating. I saw all sorts of wacky things out there that just don't seem to appear in the rest of the world. Loved it!
India was definitely an adventure - more so than a vacation. I have yet to get to the more trying parts of the trip, but I promise to get off my tuckus and wrap it up in the next week or two...
