I imagine a scenario in which the SnapStream and Allah fall for the same Japanese fembot, leading to a 2001-type standoff.

Anyone else remember the DJ 3000 on The Simpsons?

DJ 3000 robovoice: “Those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.”

Live DJ: “How does it keep up with the news like that?”

I may be dense or else I missed something, but speaking of videobloggers, what happened to Bethany and RealVerse??

Don’t worry, the question comes up from time to time. Bethany announced that she was moving on to other projects, then did just that. What those other projects are is not clear, but she did say goodbye before she dropped out of sight.

Thanks….that’s too bad…I liked her show.

The only thing that I use the television for is watching The Andy Griffith show. I’m worried that I’m going Howard Hughes.

Anything worth seeing is on computer anymore.

Pretty cool but if you want serious news, you would still have to filter things like MSNBC, NBC, CNBC, Olber and on and on……….

If anyone knows more, please add to or correct me.

Geez, AP. Now you can find Rosie when she has a cameo on some obscure show on the military channel.

When did the military announce they were bringing back blimps?

Robot snark doesn’t deliver the same oomph that anonymous human snark does.

Good musings. Maybe version 2.0 could heist snark about sports and politics from blogs and put them on TV!

Does George Seros and his gang know about this? Imagine how they can screw up politicians with this stuff.

Does it have snarky one liner comebacks,
and would the snarky one liners be adjustable
to say sports and politics,and is it possible
to get your snarky comebacks in politics,but
with a sports analogy!Oh,the possiblities.hehe

Genius, but you still gotta watch the video to figure out it’s value. However…

In our pop culture sound bite/gotcha media, this technology and blogs in general have done about all they can to raise awareness. Still we (conservatives) are behind the curve.

What is needed for blogs and new tech to support themes established by backbone media. Gore’s movie, OutFoxed, Moore’s movies are the competition’s backbone.

We need more movies like Mine Your Own Business, and Emancipation Revelation Revolution to be the backbone of the theme of the Lefts corruption.

And it is time for our own “Out Foxed”. What it would take is Terrabytes of video from CNN etc demonstrating a pattern since 911.

This device would serve the day to day appetite for “gotcha news”, but like fast food its long term impact needs to be the theme.

Is AP a video blogger?

No video bloggers produce original content with their own video camera. He’s just a blogger but that’s cool too.

While it is possible to record all of that content. Viewers still need someone to go through/edit it (along with the great screen caps) so you have not been replaced yet.

When Michelle buys you an iPhone then you can consider that to be your severance package and consider yourself replaced.

Yeah, but HD video will render that thing obsolete in no time. :)
