Dancing Robots

No, really! Not humans dressed as 'bots. I can't even imagine the time required to program this kind of complexity. Unless, of course, we're looking at a new form of AI and they're self-learning...

My ex programmed robots for Northrop. I got to hear all about it, of course. Huge amounts of effort. Wow, this is incredible. Can't hardly wait to have Robin Williams in my home making clocks!

Nonsense. I downloaded it in 50 seconds, you strange man...

...which only adds to the annoyance that it's WMV and Quicktime can't open it. Stoopid MS crap. Stoopid!

Holy. Crap. My first instinct is to search for some kind of CGI trickery, here. This is light-years beyond the Sony Human! I've got to learn more about this project. Wow.

This is the kind of thing that at least momentarily re-awakens my love of and hope for all things Tom Swift and Asimov-ian...Science!! Robots! Motels on Mars! Dude!

ah...

Those are just really tiny people in robot suits.

Did you hear? Some people actually think the world is round and that men walked on the moon.

... Well, your problems would be over if you got yourself Media Player. Quicktime, schmictime. I HATE that player -- it tries to assimilate all things media, and I need to uninstall it every time I don't want it doing that. Install each time I see a QT-only clip, then uninstall. Not so with WMV! It's configurable.

By the way, 50 seconds at high speed = LONG download for slow speed. And most people consider 50 sec a LONG download, silly!
