    It's called BWC technology: Because We Can. It's the same technology used to make those Charles Schwab commercials that are computer rotoscopes of people talking about their investments so detailed that they might as well used the acutal footage of the real people they used to base the computer graphics on.

    What if your computer expertise is such that you're able to make computers do what they don't want to do? I think the robotic uprising will not be kind to you, either.

    Speaking of not eating at Sardi's, I'm having dinner at Peter Luger in an hour. And I'm worried that my experience is going to dampened by the fact that I'm still SO hungover. #newyork

    Couldn't agree with you more. Another example of this is nuclear weapons. Sure a bunch of hippies thought they might "explode" and kill us all but now that shit is totally powering my girlfriend's Hitachi Magic Wand!

    From the report: "What types of programs might be best suited for studio presentation? For remote presentation? Would there be enough interest in such features as feeding the seals at the Bronx Zoo to warrant the expense of setting up mobile equipment?"

    Yes! Far more interest than watching Jay Leno and his "Predatory Animal Friends." #television

    @MrInBetween: One of the best things from the early web was the continually refreshing webcams set up in front of everything from soda machines on campuses to aquariums, parrot cages ... the predecessors of the shibu-inu puppycam.

    Back then, TV was "free" as long as you bought the equipment and watched the advertisements. Today, most TV channels and the Internet require hefty access fees in addition to equipment costs and near-constant advertising. In the future, when programming is downloaded directly to our brains, we'll probably have to pay for equipment and access, watch advertisements, and submit to obedience zaps from major corporations as well.

    But it'll be worth it to keep watching "Two and a Half Men." #television
