Farewell Aibo, hello Genibo





You know what they
say: 10 robot-god shut hatch, 20 robot-god open ventilation shaft. Wait, that's not right. No matter -- the late, great
Aibo is, um, back? Korean robotics company Dasatech unveiled the --
ahem -- Genibo, fashioned after Spuds MacKenzie a bull terrier, capable of understanding 100 words and
commands, feeling petting via sensors on its back, and even has Bluetooth. Forget the Roomba cockfights, native
Bluetooth control of our robo-dog? Maybe Sony held back on this because of the robo-ASPCA, but we know what we're doing
with our Genibo: starving it for electricity training it to be a vicious dog fighter. Then putting it out to stud.
