Fortunately, silicon-based life forms can even help us do the hard work of managing the tools with which they communicate.
FORBES: Cyber Security And The Rise Of The Silicon-Based Life Form
Rather than taking control of us, as the man-versus-machine plotline would have it, silicon-based life forms can actually help us better control them.
FORBES: Cyber Security And The Rise Of The Silicon-Based Life Form
But as computer society has evolved, many machines have quietly declined to speak with us, preferring instead to communicate with like-minded life forms.
FORBES: Cyber Security And The Rise Of The Silicon-Based Life Form
We will serve silicone-based life forms and they will serve us.

In contrast, it took carbon-based life forms (us) four billion years to evolve from the humble amoeba to a species capable of imagining and creating Watson.

Sensors near Trent's cameras will show how hot the conditions are near multi-celled life forms to make sure they are found in extremely hot rather than jets of cooler water.
Lessened demand on Western taxpayers' resources for agricultural credits and other forms of life-support for the vestiges of the old Soviet centralized system.
Rather than fight googly-eyed martians, however, you help spread life to the Red Planet, planting a variety of seeds which in turn grow a variety of plant-life, and awaken other forms of life, as you traverse the depths.

New York Life is in the process of hiring 3, 000 agents, as stock-wary investors have turned back to traditional forms of savings such as life insurance.
Since such organisms (simple yeasts or bacteria) would carry a brand-new genetic code, they would in effect be new life forms.
If exploitation has only just begun of life forms found in hydrothermal vents, cold seeps and similar deep-sea formations like mud volcanoes and brine pools, the same cannot be said for seamounts.
Also, that the health board review its end-of-life care, with specific reference to completion of Do Not Resuscitate forms, and that it issues the dead man's family a full and sincere apology.
For Deacon, the answer has to lie in a closer look at self-organizing processes and how the origins of life and consciousness are rooted in the constraints that bind and shape these processes as they build from the simplest self-assembly of molecules up to the emergence of the first life forms.
Leery of previous moral and ethical debates about whether it is right to manipulate life forms which arose with the advent of cloning, stem-cell technology and genetic engineering some researchers chose neutral terms to describe the experimental cell.
Sam Worthington stars as a former Marine paralyzed from the waist down offered the chance to have a healthy body again by becoming an "avatar" -- a 10ft tall, blue-skinned creature genetically engineered to resemble the planet's humanoid life forms.
CNN: Will James Cameron's 3D 'Avatar' change cinema forever?
Micro-organisms on Earth are much more common in fresh water than acidic water, and so rather than Mars just having been a potential haven for some extreme forms of life, Curiosity's discovery means that Mars had -- and still preserves evidence of -- environments that were habitable for an enormous variety of micro-organisms that thrive on our own planet.
It should be evident to any but the most obsessive abuse lobbyist that a penchant for certain forms of erotic material is not restricted to a small, marginal group of shabby, low-life perverts but widely prevails at all levels of society.
