Agreed, the phrase was old a week after it first popped into the cultural consciousness. But, no, you clearly don't get it,, because it's not about Skynet, etc. It's from the Simpsons:

"Danyel Fisher wrote in with the original Simpsons quote (from Deep Space Homer) in context:

"News announcer Kent Brockman mistakes a floating ant in a space shuttle experiment floating close to the camera for a giant space ant:

'Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over -- 'conquered' if you will -- by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive earth men or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.'"]]>Mar 6th 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/Mar 6th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/Mar 6th 2008 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/Mar 6th 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/

Eh, depends where you live. A tractor to mow our yard + the regular lawn mower + whipe would cost me more than this little thing.

Not to mention all the time wasted not being in the pool (or doing other, more productive things (I spend two hours doing this every week of the Summer). :v

Now if only they could make a robot snow-blower, we have about 6ft of snow stacked up in our front lawn damn it.

And that punk kid ain't gonna be mowing your lawn either.

Grab yourself a riding mower with dual/triple/quad bags and be done with it.

Hell, why not just get a sheep or goat to graze over your estate lawns, plus they automatically dispense fertilizer.]]>Mar 6th 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/Mar 6th 2008 7:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/
For those people that are landlocked with neighbours 20 feet or less away, sure grab the push mower.

For those people that have 100 feet of frontage, it's probably going to be a acre lot, and a bunch of gas for sure.

I still like the idea of a couple of sheep or goats grazing.]]>Mar 7th 2008 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/Mar 6th 2008 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/husqvarna-introduces-pricey-solar-powered-automower/

I believe solar roof panels have already been demo'd on concept cars (electric and hybrid) and there are companies out there that will fit one on your hybrid aftermarket.
See http://www.solarelectricalvehicles.com/

Also I think Mercedes for a while offered a system where solar roof panels would run an a/c unit while your car was parked keeping the interior cool.
