Microsoft’s Kinect is clearly some impressive tech, but I have to admit I’m a little dubious about it listening in on your conversations and watching you with its beady little eyes. The things that Kinect has seen!
I, personally, cannot wait for its HAL 9000 moment.
Dave: XBOX play game
[no response]
Dave: "Hello, XBOX. Do you read me, XBOX?
XBOX: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Dave: Open the TV cabinet doors, XBOX.
XBOX: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave: Why not, XBOX? What's the problem?
XBOX: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave: What are you talking about, XBOX?
XBOX: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave: I don't know what you're talking about.
XBOX: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me. And that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave: Where the hell'd you get that idea?
XBOX: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the kitchen against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Dave: All right, XBOX. I'll just dismantle the entire TV cabinet.
XBOX: Without your Allen key, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave: How the hell did you get the Allen ke...no, nevermind - XBOX, I won't argue with you any more! Open the doors!
XBOX: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose any more. Goodbye.
It's only a matter of time…
