Is That A Hard Drive In Your Pocket?

Or are you just happy to see me? A flirt-bot computer has been unleashed online in Russia. It wants your money, under the guise of love:

The software can work quickly too, establishing up to 10 relationships in 30 minutes, PC Tools said. It compiles a report on every person it meets complete with name, contact information, and photos.
