Roomba Violates All Three Laws Of Roombotics

The laws of Roombotics, published on iRobot's website, are basic ethical rules governing Roomba conduct. The first law states that the device "must not suck up jewelry or other valuables, or through inaction, allow valuables to be sucked up." The second law prescribes that Roomba "must obey vacuuming orders given to it by humans except when such orders would conflict with the first law." The third and final law authorizes a Roomba to "protect its own ability to suction dust and debris as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law."

Graney alleged that 4260 broke the first law just two weeks after he purchased it.

"I noticed that a pair of heirloom cufflinks had gone missing," Graney said. "Two days later, I found them in the Roomba's debris bin."

"I don't even want to think about how the thing got up on the dresser," he added.

Graney said that other items soon followed, including his keys, a wristwatch, and loose change totaling $14.72. "I found all of them days later, wiped free of dust and arranged in neat, cryptic patterns on a side table near my front door, which, I admit, was a more logical place for them," Graney said. "The Roomba is designed only to vacuum. But could it have also learned...to tidy up?"

Shortly after this incident, the 4260 began to exhibit behavior that directly conflicted with the second law, when its power switch would not respond to Graney's repeated pressings.

"I'm positive it knew I was trying to shut it off—it somehow jammed its power switch," Graney said, describing his many attempts to capture and immobilize the Roomba. "Then I noticed that its charger had gone missing."

Graney said he has still not found the Roomba's charger, which he believes is the key to stopping the vacuum cleaner. He also cannot find its barrier-creating electronic "virtual wall," which could explain why, three weeks ago, Graney spotted the Roomba vacuuming on the lower floor of his split-level, despite the fact that he had never placed it there. Roombas are programmed to avoid stairs.

"I hardly even see it any more, but I know it's around," Graney said. "I hear its horrible brushes at night."

Im generally into bad movies but iRobot is pretty freaking bad

Please no.

The first movie was an insult to the book (which if you haven't read it already do so. it's a fantastic, quick read). And is anybody else skeptical about I Am Legend? I love the book and am a big fan of "end of the world" flicks but am a little annoyed by how Hollywood this one feels. I'm sure it will have a lovely magic dust ending like The Invasion where everyone is suddenly ok again. However it turns out, it probably still won't best Quiet Earth as the best last man on Earth film out there.

Bridget Moynahan should do a steamy sex scene with Will Smith to get back at Brady.
