Why did I read this as "Go make yourself a kid?"

I wonder what the resolution of that thing is and the type of material.

They're right though. It is like creepy crawlers for a new generation.

The pic at the top of the article really looks like a fake advert out of a cheesy sci-fi setting, like BTTF2 or something.

Wait a minute, so we really are living in a sci-fi world. Awesome.

Sooo ... how locked up is the design app? It sounds like you're limited to what they have in the library, and combinations thereof.

I don't like most kids, so I read it as, berkeley off kid, go make it yourself.

Cool idea though. There should be 1000s of them sitting in closets, unused, by next February.
