V & S has this story about a cool new weapon:
…the Army has just finished testing out a unmanned ground vehicle, or UGV, that obliterates its foes with electrically-fired grenades.
The robot is the same modified Talon UGV that’s now on its way to Iraq, to watch the back of Stryker armored vehicles on patrol. But instead of carrying a M249 machine gun, like the Iraq-bound robo-grunt, this Talon has been armed by Metal Storm Limited – the Australian firm famous for its million-round-a-minute gun.
American and Aussie engineering are leading the world.

Celebrate now if you want, I know how this will all end, the damn robots becoming self aware and embarking on a campaign to destroy humanity!
Although perhaps if we hurry we can fight off these evil robots with an army of clones...
