You mean like TiVo? Terrifying.
Speaking of, you hear about the uproar that occured when all these guys who watched "Will and Grace" started having gay-themed programs bookmarked for them? Imagine some poor homophobe trying to watch football and the TiVo will only turn on the Home and Garden network. Ha!

No I know nothing about that... that's pretty scary. I prefer a TV that lets me select what I want to watch by myself. Usually, I just push the "off" button.

"As if New Yorkers didn't have enough to worry about. Now they think their TV sets think that they are gay."

That's actually pretty funny, really!

It don't seem much different to what record companies do already: only churn out things which have been hits in the past. It'll be up to somebody who doesn't use the software to come up with the next bandwagon for everyone else to jump on to...
"We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out" - said by who of whom?

If you want to hear a real band, have a look at www.amsterdam-music.com
There's a few mp3s floating around on it too. And they deliver a live performance that's very nearly as good as sex. With Swedish triplets.

That's hysterical!

I really don't think a computer program will have any better success at choosing hit songs than people do.
No one has any idea why certain songs reach #1 or get into the top ten.
What the writers of this program are saying is that they do know why certain songs become popular.
If that's the case then why are they wasting their time writing computer programs instead of getting filthy rich promoting hit songs?
Oh yeah, it's those SOB's stealing music off the internet. Nobody's getting filthy rich doing that anymore. (right!)
