Interesting. Looks to be the homepage of a movie entitled I, Robot. I would guess it's based on the books of the same name by Isaac Asimov.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343818/

Lots of interesting things in the source code, if anyone is looking. It's well commented, which usualy isn't the case. I have never seen javascript so commented, but looks to be genric programmer notes. Don't have time to study it much now, I'm afraid.

i dunno, the whole programmers being listed seems oddly reminiscent of "the beast" anyone willing to dive into the depths of google and figure out what's going on with I-robots possible arg?

At the bottom of the source code is : SRC="http://www.foxfilm.com/njs.gif?dcsuri=/nojavascript">

I understand the Ns-5.com, but having never read the book can anyone elaborate on the Menofhonor.com moniker?

Per Snopes, this is a link to IRobotnow's parent company ... what does it have to do with Cloudmakers?

http://www.cybertronics-corp.cloudmakers.org/

Edited: Never mind, I believe the Snopesters were wrong, and cybertronics is a Beast holdover.

There is now an official movie site at www.irobotmovie.com It has some kind of flash puzzle to solve which is supposed to lead to more information (I'm guessing pictures of the movie)

There is an unobtrusive link on one of the news pages leading to www.NS-5.com As far as I can remember, this has had signifcant updates from the original version.

ooh! ooh!

Yes, Will Smith's sci fi thriller this summer is I,Robot. Have you seen the related car ads? (Was it Audi?)

Not really a game or puzzle itself - it has a program that encourages you to go to several places within the I,Robot site after which it announces you have "solved" something and opens some locked files (actually some movie concept art for download as wallpaper). Try the Asimov trivia test! There are also some java games that are OK.

I got 88% on the novice test but only 64% on the expert. I'm so ashamed.

Also, I'm really looking forward to this movie, but some of that involves looking forward to complaining about it afterwards (if necessary, of course), so this should be interesting.

The true / false question about mind reading robots was a bit iffy too. Since some but not all robots can do this. Wouldn't you agree Giskard.
