  1. Good to see stuff like this by FlyByPC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I hope we see more interesting online content like this. I think eventually on-demand content will be the way to go, once bandwidth becomes even cheaper. Maybe niche shows like these will finally eliminate the "500-channels-and-nothing-good-on" problem.

      Enter the new P2P-based content rating systems, complete with web of trust to prevent astroturfing/trolling and anonymity to prevent "five stars or DDOS" type scenarios.

      Yeah, great, so I get to watch stuff that everyone -else- thinks is good...!

      Just like ITV in the UK. Oh goody.

  2. How long before we get massive commercials in them by susasusesume · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can't help but wonder how long it will take before the interesting casts get foobared by being pumped full of ads.

  3. expect legislation to kill this by bani · · Score: 4, Insightful

    if you want to know what terrifies the MPAA/RIAA more than anything else, it's ipradio and iptv.

    iptv/ipradio threaten the distribution models that corporations have traditionally controlled from top to bottom.

    expect them to start ramming legislation down everyones throats to kill this before it gets off the ground. a few cries of 9/11 and "think of the children" (and under the table dollar bills) should do it.

    With computer animation, attractive people cost nothing, arn't prima donas and unless your running windows they never go on strike. So other than for immediate personal use will actual attractive people become redundant.

    Seriously, all that geeky and funny stuff on Slashdot would certainly make it a great show. :)

      Too late, This Week in Tech is seriously better than anything /. could put out.
