Just thought of something: why did the machines even stay on Earth in the first place? If what they need is sunlight then why not go to some other planet or even just into space?
I suppose the scorching of the sky thing might have something to do with it...

Yes, but olny at a reduced level. So why not leave earth. Plenty of sunlight in the rest of the system.

So perhaps they have gone there, done that, and now rule the whole Sol system. Doesn't mean they'd have a good reason to retreat from Earth, though.
Then again, if Zion is as fake as Earth's unharmed surface is, it would make sense for Earth's devastated, Matrix-podded surface to be fake as well. Perhaps the Matrix is not located on Earth at all? Perhaps it has no real physical components (humans, squid-bots, bedrock) whatsoever, but merely runs as a screensaver on the laptop of a random �berbeing in an �ber-subway on the way to �ber-work on planet �ber?
Incidentally, the Finnish cc did translate "The Hammer" as "Thor's Hammer". Did the cc people pull that out of their arses, or was there something in the script or cc package about that?
