Nagasaki man busted for autonomous Digg robot
03 Jul 2008
Police in Nagasaki, Japan have arrested a man for developing a sophisticated robotic arm that uses a mouse and keyboard to autonomously Digg stories around the clock. Watch the “news report” for footage of the machine in action.
UPDATE: Ahem… In case it’s not obvious (as it should be), this “news report” is intended as humor.
What’s his crime? Why was he arrested?

I assume he was arrested for something else, and when the police eventually entered his apartment, they discovered this robotic monstrosity, causing them a certain amount of dismay until they eventually figured out what it was doing.
Clearly this is a tour-de-force done for fun, since it all could have been done in software much more quickly and easily.
