      A contractor working to set up a stationary robotic arm was killed when the arm grabbed him and smashed him against a metal plate. An investigation is underway but the belief, thus far, is that human error is to blame. Authorities are contemplating bringing charges but have not yet determined against whom.

              That is just what the machines want you to believe. Run. Run Far, far, away... Unless you have an Uncle Bob with a creepy grin. 8-)

                      Sarah O'Connor is the employment correspondent for the Financial Times and in her own words, she normally tweets "really boring stuff about unit wage costs." On a good day, her Twitter bon mots might get a few dozen retweets. But then she tweeted this: "A robot has killed a worker in a VW plant in Germany".
