By Robots dragged their creator JBOT to the last show of their tenth anniversary tour here in their home destination of San Francisco. Irina corners JBOT around back of the Bottom of the Hill before the show and tries to find out why he lets his creations torture him so.

Tuning in for Microsoft’s LiveStation Sneaky Plan
Microsoft is getting renewed attention this week for LiveStation, an Internet video site co-developed by its research arm and Skinkers, a British start-up. LiveStation uses peer-to-peer technology to allow live video to be more effectively broadcast over the Internet. In this video, Skinkers CEO Matteo Berlucchi says that the company wants to do several months of more beta testing to see how the application performs and scales, with a goal of a broader 1.0 release by October.
However, in a response to an Ars Technica post, the LiveStation team says it is not aiming to compete with Joost, but is instead focused on using peer-to-peer networks to deliver live television.

Slate V – New Online Video Magazine
After 11 years, Slate has decided to become a parent. So, light up a cigar and say hello to Slate V.
That’s “V” as in video, not the Roman numeral for “5.” The new video magazine will deliver original features, compelling documentary segments, and buzz-worthy video clips culled from the far reaches of the Web.
On the site you’ll find familiar Slate franchises such as “Explainer,” “Dear Prudence,” “Damned Spot,” and “Ad Report Card”—now in living color!—alongside newly created segments about politics, culture, business, technology, and [oh soooo much] more.
