I am not sure that the iPhone is all that over priced. I payed close to $500 bones for my Cingular 8125 and all it can do is check my email and make crappy phone calls. The iPhone on the other hand was made for music and videos but has seamlessly intergrated the use of a phone within it. I am hopeing the quality of the phone itself is of good quality but if not I bought a $500 iPod video ($300 on its own) that can check email and play games. So what if I paid $200 for the email and games.

Have you noticed the world has become a more violent and scary place then what it was when my mom was a child. I often find my self pondering as to why this may be... I mean I am not quite sure about the video game blame, I think that was made to be an easy way out of trouble and I personally call it "Blame Shifting" Why? Becuase they can't take the responsibility of their action. I mean induviduals should know that games are NOT real and that what is fun and able to be done in games usuall

Feed UK scientists building robot village -- can we come? (engadget.com)

We've had it with all these sucky carbon-based lifeforms we have to smell and talk to every day. Some scientists at University of Abertay in the UK are setting up a four-year study of 60 miniature robots in a "village" setting, and we're hoping they've got room for a blogger or two. The bots will be split into groups and programmed to observe and imitate one another performing different tasks. Since the imitations will be slightly different each time, the scientists hope to be able to develop a sort of robot "culture" to try and understand how culture emerges in natural and artificial societies. Then things will get really crazy, nerd style. The scientists will alter conditions -- don't say we didn't warn you -- to see how the robots will adapt, and will alternate between states several times over a period of months to see just how much they can screw with the hapless bots. Perhaps this doesn't sound like so much fun after all, we're out. If you see a small, disgruntled army of 60 or so miniature bots wandering around your corner of England in the next few months, we suggest you run.
