I wonder if Motorola has any idea how creepy their Droid ads are. They're so sci-fi robotic that all I can think of are the scary-as-hell fictional computers who come to life and try to kill you. Don't you want a GLaDOS in your pocket

Don't you know? Computers are too stupid to kill you. (Though, ironically, that's exactly why HAL killed everyone...hm...)

Yes, but the ads want us to think we're in the age of intelligent computers. Or they sure look like that's the intended effect.

Is it? I never actually saw the movie. Still doesn't bode well for the Droid, does it?
