TV input cards that let you watch TV on your computer will download all of the "Closed Captioning" text and then let you search it. There is no reason why you couldn't setup something that watches all channels for closed captioning text and indexes all of it.
Espesially with these new hard-drive VCR's that let you pause a TV show while you go "take a #2". This device could also watch particular channels and buffer them for an hour while it searches it's closed captioning for specific search criteria. When it sees the text you are looking for in the closed captioning text it will send the whole program to tape. It would be pretty nifty I think if I could have my computer watch the Science Channel for anything to do with Quantum computing and when it does it will output the whole thing to tape. It's like having your computer watch TV for you and only get the good stuff.:-)
This is a strange move for Macromedia, as someone else mentioned, South Park is very crappy looking animation. Why would they want to demonstrate what you can do with Shockwave with something that is supposed to be very collage like. The most important thing in South Park is the sound, that's what makes it funny! No one went to the South Park movie to see next generation "Toy Story 2" graphics, so why would anyone goto shockwave.com to see something unamazing visually. They should stick to showing off Shockwave's ability to do flashy and fast websites. But hey if what the South Park gang can come up with something funny for http://www.Shockwave.com then I'm all for it!
