It's kind of like watching a news broadcast from a year ago and thinking that they're talking about stuff that happened this afternoon.  Gosh, that Presidential race sure sounds like it's going to be a squeaker! The bottom line:  This is not a cutting-edge-technology program, it's a bit distant from Gizmodo's online presence and persona, and I am so very much not in the program's target audience.
