Yes pretty good stuff really and they were my two faves too plus the suturing droid too natch.

On a related note the news that the US fusion project thingy has for the first time created more net energy than it used fell a little flat, could very well be a very important milestone, But not a lot in the mainstream media apart from a fluff piece by the Beeb.

However my money is on the South Korean KSTAR which IIRC has tied up with european agencies like CERN, exiting stuff.
