20th Century Fox has unveiled the new I, Robot website. And its all in flash. The scourge of dialup users everywhere. Seriously. When did Flash become the defacto standard for creating movie sites? Come on. Throw us a bone and have an HTML site as well.
The movie itself looks kinda neat, the police uniforms and the cars are all techie looking. Somehow, though, I don’t think this is what Asimov thouhgt the future would look like. And don’t the pwople live underground in the stories? Hmm, maybe I can get John to ‘loan’ me the Robot stories…

It’s that whole “Art vs. Usability” argument.
What are “dialup users”?
What are “dialup users”? Me, for one.
See in the early days of the internet – broadband was not really a thing for home users – so we who wished to communicate electronically used these archaic devices called modems to dial up and connect. And it was good cuz then telemarketers couldnt call you at inconvient times…
And statistically speaking, there are more folks still using dialup than broadband today. That market is still quite large due to cost structures and the simple lack of service in some markets….
