Knight Rider is Back!
One week from today, February 17th KITT is back, bigger and better than ever. Knight Rider is returning to the tube as a 2 hour made for TV movie. Set your DVR now so you don’t miss the reincarnation. 9/8c on NBC!
Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows as a kid. My dad took me to a car show once when I was in elementary school and I got to have my picture made sitting inside KITT. Awesome memory!
As the original story resumes, the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body — thanks to its creator’s work and nanotechnology — is capable of actually shifting shape and color. Plus, its artificial intelligence makes it the ideal good cop partner: logical, precise and possessing infinite knowledge. It is the ultimate car — and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.
Last year the food microbiologist’s undergraduate students [at Clemson University] examined the effects of double dipping using volunteers, wheat crackers and several sample dips. They found that three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from an eater’s mouth to the remaining dip sample.”I like to say it’s like kissing everybody at the party — if you’re double dipping, you’re putting some of your bacteria in that dip,” Dawson said.
This would be huge! Yahoo has been struggling for a couple years now and Microsoft’s web offerings have been declining for several months. I don’t really see this strengthening Microsoft, though. In my view, this is Microsoft buying traffic. They don’t need Yahoo’s portal, email, or messenger. Microsoft already has all that. So mostly, Microsoft would just be purchasing web property to put their advertisements on as they try to catch up with Google Adsense.
