EEEp. HIV and Robot Sex.

A super strain of HIV hits NY. And more: Robot sex is in the near future! From the Guardian:

Kim Jong-Hwan, the director of the ITRC-Intelligent Robot Research Centre, has developed a series of artificial chromosomes that, he says, will allow robots to feel lusty, and could eventually lead to them reproducing. He says the software, which will be installed in a robot within the next three months, will give the machines the ability to feel, reason and desire.
