Go Spotting: Popular Science

A photo of the robot dog Aibo playing go illustrates In Japan, A Funeral For Robot Dogs, a February 28 Popular Science report. "Robot companions are big in Japan, where they can return hugs, gently smack snorers in the face, perform in plays, and greet Presidents." And, apparently, play go as well. - thanks to Jon Stewart-Taylor for passing this along. The EJ has several volunteer editor positions open for go players who want to be part of the team producing the largest English-language publication in the world; email journal@usgo.org if interested.
