Ah, computers. They make our lives so easy ... but we should fear them, for they may yet turn on us. We've collected 10 of the most ee-vil computers not only to achieve sentience, but also decide that those pesky, squishy hu-mans just have to go.

Click through the photos to meet the future masters of the world, and remember to turn your computers off at night--who knows what they're plotting when you're not there? These are in no particular order, but if you have a favorite, or if we've missed any particularly Machiavellian machines, let us know in the comments or discuss them on Crave UK's spangly new forums.

and his companion Guardian when they finally worked out the correct IP protocols turned out to be one bad computer. I wish they had made a movie of the sequel book, too.
