...Tougher Than Tough On the scarier side of robot technology are real-life battle-bots. Armed with an assault rifle and equipped with temperature and image sensors that detect and track targets, these machines can either shoot automatically or be controlled remotely. Two such robots are being used by South Korea and the U.S. in Iraq. Seoul plans to deploy such bots on its 250-km border with North Korea by 2011. Price: $79,000 each

Much like the film, this track is a non-starter for me. I mean, I love Dre as much as the next guy, but hip hop has been relying on the “I’m great and here’s why” shtick as an excuse to throw off half-baked one-liners for far too long. The song isn?...
