Program/World Interface?

I've taken to coding on my droid-phone simply for a couple of sensors [GPS, accelo, touch-sense]

(simple-) Graphics are easy enough, haven't really tried pushing the processing power for fear of disappointment, though it's probably not too bad, a bit like a sleek little sputnik in your pocket ^^
seems to be missing the solar panels though..

So, i guess until we have cheap (as in free) actual robots to play with, We are the robots!?!, albeit very reluctantly..

Well, unless the "program" pays you money.. =) maybe i can get some bartering going =D

Is it better to be The Machine's eyes and ears, or it's arms and legs..?
Or maybe a voice in it's (radio)head..? ^^

aww c'mon don't tell me to post less often =.

Worldly Computing - the beginners guide (?)

step #1> Practical Applications ? [aka Purpose..?]

case study Google / Search Engines -- massively wide-scale information retrieval..

case projection > Recommender Engine? ^^

How can we have robots though, when even a few measly sensors attached to a computer connected to the internet are constantly being hijacked..?

I don't want a robot ruffling through all my stuff and cooking up explosives when nobody's home

And stop flying your "dirt-box" over my house errytime i connect to the net dammit... Isn't there some kind of law against such blatant acts of aggression? Cyber-warfare is still warfare..

Pretty hypocritical of a government to even bother with civilian law enforcement when you don't even go for the criminals in government...
Do you really think terrorists crimes stack up against government crimes throughout history?

Isis could be a very bad terrorist and a fairly average government? We've seen bad policies before..
I mean, what was the Iraq war of 2003? Now when there's an actual war there you won't go near it..?

We were better off with hussein and bin laden in iraq than the current nutters..
And guess who's responsible?
