How about playing fetch the cat with it, I'm sure that won't end up in tears (of laughter when a stressed out moggy launches itself at somebody's head). Especially with the automated looking for a face feature.

Before some poor lonely old buffer ends up in the dock after being caught shagging one?

If it can happen to bicycles...

I cannot wait until these are ubitquitous...

SWAT stages a raid on a normal looking suburban house, obviously the nefarious headsquarters of a filesharer of the current sub-grade pop "music", truly a Terrorist(tm) plot to overthrow our Democratic Copyright Freedom(c). Four armed men in classic black outfit and bodyarmor stand ready with weapons at their sides.

They bust in the door, sweeping the room... and the forward guys get grabbed in the @ss by the elderly home-owner's helpful robot(s) every time a laser sight sweeps by. Hilarity ensues.

I would p*ss my pants to see that on COPS - is it CONS(TABLES)over there? :)

Better yet, what happens if you deliberately point the pointer at someone's foot? Or better yet, at their crotch?

Forget the old people, I wants one.

Perhaps it should be referred to a a lazy pointer.

Or is this more relevant to the deathray jumbo story..?

BH cos it kinda looks like the laser warning sign...

I can just see some randy guy at a nursing home pointing the laser at the arse of a nurse.

But seriously, do elderly people want robot helpers, or do they want people helpers?
