Domestic robot to debut in Japan
I suppose this might have been posted to LBN or Science forum but given that I've been rereading the Asimov novels I just couldn't resist posting this here.

When I get my next bonus I'm getting one and naming it Giskard! ;)

"A robot that recognises up to 10 faces and understands 10,000 words is to be offered to Japanese consumers looking for a high-tech helper in the house."
