There's something a little strange about the idea that a company/product becomes real when it appears in a movie (or in the research/advertising for a movie). Isn't it the other way around? Cool clip though.

I've seen these bots with my own eyes and they rock - <a href="http://damirhorvat.blogspot.com/2008/08/visiting-valleygoo.html" rel="nofollow">http://damirhorvat.blogspot.com/2008/08/visiting-valleygoo.h...</a><p>And the anybots crew... such nice people! Visiting YCmbinator and Anybots office was really cool. Thanks guys again for nice presentations and for putting our pictures on your wall of fame! Thanks and all the best. Damir

that's really awesome! I saw one of the robots hanging out at the YC office, it was just standing on it's two wheels chilling. I felt like he/she was staring at me. =)

How come the people living via Surrogates aren't as fat and degenerate as the people from WALL-E?<p>All they do is lie in their surrogate chairs all day, apparently.

Trevor comes on at about 1:10 in that video clip, if you want to skip forward.

What if it turns out that we are actually surrogates for some aliens?

That was awesome. Of course it had the obligatory "10 year prediction" near the end.

Kind of a high-tech spin on sending your twin to work.
