- patio11 17y agoWithout specific reference to a company called Cyberdyne or its flagship product HAL, I will note that Japan is the second biggest market in the world for Hollywood cinema, and leave it at that. Anyone who thinks cultural diffusion is a one-way street should ask their friendly neighborhood biologist what a sonic hedgehog is.
- litewulf 17y agoHm, actually I said that because the first time I read Cyberdyne I just thought it was something Orwellian, and used the powers of Google to realize it was from Terminator. (And I'm too young to have seen any movies with HAL in them ;))
- rudyfink 17y agoWell, their robot suit is called HAL. Does that change your mind at all?
- die_sekte 17y agoI certainly would stay away from a robot suit called 'HAL', knowing that it would kill me when it senses that I try to power it off.
