That robber is definitely not stressed.

  I know. This guy is way too comfortable.

    (It's a girl). Apparently the alleged burglar was a neighbor, and may have known that the home-owner would be out for a few hours, since he was having an operation that morning.

      She is one a "handsome" woman.

What does this have to do with technology???
- abstractbill 18y ago
  Nothing. JTV is powered by magic.

    So, should we link to every cool youTube video too then?
    - abstractbill 18y ago
      Well I certainly wouldn't be opposed to people posting youtube videos that show novel and unexpected consequences of youtube's technology being available.

        I would be, to be honest. I feel the high quality content of this site is being degraded a lot.

        2. ^ Robbery caught on JTV (justin.tv) should be all you need to know to avoid this, if it troubles you so much. There's nothing technologically interesting about this, but I thought it was an interesting window into what sort of community justin.tv is creating.

        Look at the number next to the title. If I have to "avoid" 50% of the stories on here because they are reddit rehash, there's no point in me visiting this site, is there?

    I'm getting sick of this SV crap... Hello?! Since when recording a moving picture on tape is breaking news? And what does "tight community" and "internet" have to do with it?

This was predicted/proposed by Neal Stephenson in "Global Neighborhood Watch" ten years ago http://www.wired.com/wired/scenarios/global.html http://www.wired.com/wired/scenarios/global.html

It was only yesterday, when rincewind said that Neal Stephenson predicted it ten years ago, and got 3 points for that. jjfarren claimed it's a fake, and got -2. And for abstractbill, it was a windfall - two comments about the "novel and unexpected uses" of modern technology earned him 37 karma points. Even more unexpectedly, today the "interesting window into what sort of community justin.tv is creating" has, erm, closed, obviously. Try going to http://blog.justin.tv/2008/06/caught-on-jtv.html http://blog.justin.tv/2008/06/caught-on-jtv.html and see for yourself. Could it be that the real novel idea has been one about hacking Hacker News?

  This is the second time one of our blog posts has randomly disappeared recently. Either one of our interns doesn't know how to work blogger, or there's some problem with blogger itself. We found a cached copy of the blog post - I should be able to use that to get the original back online... EDIT: I re-posted the blog entry at http://blog.justin.tv/2008/06/caught-on-jtv_22.html http://blog.justin.tv/2008/06/caught-on-jtv_22.html Either I failed at figuring out how to tell blogger to re-use the original url, or there's just no way to do it.
