Hard News: MegaBox: From f**k-all to zero, in reply to Graeme Edgeler,
I think I/S needs content-aware GPS accelerometer-equipped AR glasses with commercial-message image-sensing pixel-replacement software. Didn't Google work with Adobe on something like this? Maybe it could also replace the heads of people he doesn't like with a big smiley.

Hard News: Telling stories about us, in reply to nzlemming,
Most people will watch whatever is put in front of them, and they're encouraged to do so by the hype and bullshit that the channels throw at them about upcoming shows.
