It finds lightbulbs.

I think Scott meant the "uncanny valley", with that extremely elaborate explanation of the trough in the chart. Tongue Out

Anyway, that texting thing... is that US only? And this is my personal favorite example of Creative Commons stuff:

(Jonathan Coulton looked for some random CC pictures on Flickr and wrote a song about them.)

Ya, that was a really spastic attempt at explaning the Uncanny Valley, which totally fell apart as you could see. Smiley

I just couldn't remember what the darn thing was called. Thanks for figuring it out!

Great little show, guys, I love these.

Scott, don't feel bad about trough. I've always pronounced it as "traw - th" Smiley

I like the Terminator music while the robot was walking around.

I also think episodes get longer when Scott's in them. Tongue Out

Yeah, we're both chatty Kathy's and we both tend to use pop culture references to respond to questions Smiley

Just in this show: Austin Powers, Terminator, Predator, Dave Chappelle Show, Big Lebowski, and probably others I didn't pick up Smiley

Here's an example of the uncanny valley... for some reason, the old man doesn't seem as scary...
