On the robot dog front, I think I'm lots more impressed by women such as Manuela Veloso [0], who's largely responsible for CMU's amazing contributions to RoboCUP over the years. She's also advised lots of students doing work in a broad range of computing topics, and is generally pretty cool. (She was the advisor of one of Harvey Mudd's four women faculty (out of a total of 10.) That said, positive press about women doing anything with technology is a good thing. I'll take cute robot dog stories over ``I'm afraid to download music, I might crash the national grid!'' stories any day.
