Since I've seen far too many things lately to keep posting threads about it, this thread will be updated whenever I see something showing signs of robots becoming more lifelike.

Well, they're not doing a very complete job. Ignoring the top half of the body, even that half is missing something. It doesn't have any underwear.

Damn cheap makers.

I actually don't think I could tell the difference between that and a human without being told, at least not from photographs. Hopefully in real life it would be easier.

I wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless she started moving. I guess I'll start saving money for that persocom.

Good News: Japan will start manufacturing robot girlfriends.

Bad News: I will be unable to afford one for one reason or another, much like those of the flesh and blood kind. Also, my curse will extend to these "females" as well, preventing even fake love to emerge.

Damn, where's a White Mage with a Cursna when you need them.

How so? September 2006. That was 17 months ago. That is less than a year and a half, but more than a year.
