But when something good happens, we tend to take it for granted, or are less pushed to report about it. Well done! (And of course kudos to the TechSmith team too.)" - David Orban

Machines Like Us is a web-resource for those interested in evolutionary thought, cognitive science, synthetic life and artificial intelligence. It promotes the following concepts: Evolution is the guiding principle behind life on earth. Religions and their gods are human constructs, and subject to human foibles. Life and intelligence are emergent properties based upon fundamental mechanics, and, as such, are reproducible. Living organisms are magnificent machines -- robust, dynamic, self-sufficient, precisely tuned to their environment -- deserving our respect and study. Machines Like Us provides daily science news, exclusive-interviews with leading researchers, science videos, and a variety of other resources for the discriminating reader. - David Orban
