Am I the only one that finds this cool? He's poured hours of his life into his hobby and people simply find it disgusting. Jeez, it's like building your own computer or constructing your own car. Some people don't understand it, but when you put a lot of time into a project like that you get attached to it more than a more common variant (be it computer, car, or woman). Personally, I'd like my own robot woman... 
Life imitating art? A real live Stepford wife. With some tweaking she'll turn into Priss from Blade Runner. Sounds like he's looking for funding from deep pocketed sponsors *cough* Honda *cough cough*

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
We'll wait for the ghost in this machine. You just mark my words. It won't be long and this robot will... *gasp* ...start mixing him the wrong drink.

No, I don't find it cool.
The fact that she looks about 12 years old is alarming. The fact that the "perfect" female companion has no independent will, no independent thoughts, no challenging philosophies, no creativity, no spirituality, no mystery, no depth of personality, no self-confidence, says something extraordinarily disheartening not only about that man, but about the legend he tells about the ideal "woman".
As a technological feat, it's amazing. But that's not how it was presented. It was presented as an ideal companion, a human female substitute!
But at least we know how the Cylons were invented. Fraking toaster.

Actually now that you think about it she's already drained him of his life savings and caused him to have a heart attack... maybe she's more real than we give her credit for!

All she needs is a forced software update every 28 days - and that should complete the illusion.

I want to go to there...
With interchangeable mouth-bits your realdoll can make all those expressions. Otherwise she's kinda stuck at
Are there add-on orifices available as accessories? Sure, the bumhole is a pretty obvious one, but I'd like to put a big, warm one at the ear. Why the **** not. You're already having sex with a machine. It's not like you can get any weirder.
I agree. And this very board will probably be wailing about the Yes vote for Prop 01000.
