Search giant Google recently purchased Boston Dynamics, a military-grade robotics company. (If you're unfamiliar with Boston Dynamic's work, please check out these videos of its robots in action.)

Give me a bi-pedal robot (or one with a U3-X like mobility system) that is robust enough to do those sort menial tasks with the ability to learn new things and I'd gladly pay $20 to 40K.
Google Robotics joint venture with RealDoll? They would have plenty of buyers at any price. Even if you didn't have sex with it, I'd rather have an attractive rubber lady doing my housework than a plastic box. LOL
Warehouse automation, y'all.
In other words, ¿Por qué no las dos? [Cue fiesta]
Google + NSA in tow...more to spy you with.
