DARPA Grand Challenge reaches the finish line.

After a fairly dismal showing in its first year, the second DARPA Grand Challenge race has been a great success, showcasing some cutting edge robotics and AI technology. The Independent has some good coverage on the story, although the writer has committed the cardinal sin of technology writing by starting the piece with "Not so long ago XXXXX was the stuff of science fiction..." Tech journalists have been trotting out this trite cliche for too long (and yes, I count myself equally guilty). Can we please think up some new opening lines for tech news stories?

Word integrates a spellchecker and grammar checker easily enough. They should introduce a cliche checker. Perhaps it could integrate with Google.
