Submission + - Experiment Develops Robots that Change by 'Consuming' Other Robots (404media.co)

That's how it started. I'd read during the commercial break, and if the book was interesting, I was slow to put it down, especially if the show was not that good.

Of course, with DVRs and Netflix, I seldom have "commercial breaks", but I might still reach for my Kindle if the show has a slow part (most of them do).
