Microsoft has officially freaked me out. Meet Milo the first real-like virtual human.

Remember when I had the discussion about the upcoming Windows 8 and its ability to know whether or not you were in the room? Well, meet Milo, the world's first virtual person is able to communicate with you fully and considered to be human.  No kidding.  The virtual human takeover has begun.

"The player’s voice commands and physical movements are picked up by an infra-red sensor which works with artificial intelligence to interpret the player’s intonation and meaning, and respond accordingly. Milo works with the soon-to-be released Xbox 360 Kinect controller - as series of sensors, microphones and cameras interpret the player’s actions movements. It has the same reactions, facial movements as a human and after 45 minutes, he recognizes you."



Oh boy, can you imagine how many virtual marriages this will result in? You thought pillows were the hot thing?   All this is missing is his nice-looking late 30's to late 40's hot dad with detachable penis.  It would fly off the shelves. (I want credit for that if anyone sells it.)



Milo has a story too.  "Milo is a story-telling game about a little boy who's unhappy because his family has moved from London to New England in America and his parents are too busy to listen to what's on his mind."  So wait, not only does it talk to you and fully communicate, it has an attitude about the US already.  His dad must work for BP.

What if Milo and I had a disagreement? Will Microsoft add a chip that gives him a Mel Gibson type of meltdown in which he will call you a cunt,whore, bitch when you piss him off?

Milo is supposed to be 4 years old but I think he is lying about his age.  Perhaps four is his Hollywood age. (See, he fits right in to America already.)   This has so many possibilities.  Just think, deadbeat parents would leave their kids with Milo as a babysitter.  (Dont look at me like that, a lot of them let cartoons and reality shows baby sit their kids anyway.)

 Now that I think about it, I want one.
