"If Robots Get too Smart..."
Great article in the NY Times today about Scientist at Play Daniel Wilson titled "If Robots Ever Get Too Smart, He'll Know How to Stop Them." about his book "How to survive a robot uprising"

Favorite Section is box on "Kiss and Fell: Techniques for Dropping a 'Droid"

"Every day in laboratories around the world, robots are getting smarter...
If you are attacked by a humanoid robot, run toward light-sudden changes in light confuse vision sensors...
Hide yourself among clutter; it also befuddles robots."

Sorry I don't have the link.
