I always enjoy that video and music. Thank you for telling me to watch it again.

Is it just me that finds the Spot robot to seem creepier and more threatening than the Atlas or Electric Atlas?
|
|
|
|
|
I find Spot creepy also. I think it is the multi-jointed neck/arm and head/claw which has no resemblance to anything Terrestrial.

And how many months did it take to make this marketing video?
I know the dancing one took 18 months.

When visiting a friend last weekend, I mentioned as a side remark that lots of people never gave a thought to the name 'Edge' - similar to the old days when lots of people using the Lynx browser never associated it with anything but a big, wild cat. My friend knows a lot of math, including a fair amount of graph theory. Yet, he gave me a puzzled look: What do you mean? Is that name supposed to mean anything special?
Well ... Yes. Like Lynx. And the little Ford Ka (that's some years ago, isn't it?). And the arrow below the Amazon text in the logo. One common brand of Californian raisins imported to Norway had the brand name 'Sun Maid' (with a picture of a young woman carrying a basket of grapes) - my mother never ever would accept the idea that 'Sun Maid' was a play of 'Sun made', ripened in the sun. Marketing folks come up with lots of bright ideas in this class, and 99% of the audience ignores/overlooks it. I am sure that they are prepared for that  .
I guess that a fair share of the Lounge audience has had their share of graph theory. So let me ask: Have you ever been considering the name 'Edge' as related to hypertext graphs? Or are you considering it to be just a random name picked out of the blue?
(If you care to indicated whether you feel familiar with graph theory, that would be an interesting additional piece of information!)

In my part of the world*, a dissected plateau, there are many clifftop lookouts and walking trails.
There is a lot of signage encouraging people to keep away from the edge, which I consider excellent advice.
* The coincidence between my postcode and an ancient IBM RJE device/protocol I find amusing.

Reminds me of a service desk related software made by my earlier company in India. The product (launched in the late 90's) was aptly named as:
ServiceEdge

As in Edge computing, vertices, etc. Perhaps, it's an interesting thought 
So it's not referring to the rounded corner design? Micro soft edge? :P

Edge refers to the Edge of the network where all the fun stuff happens. <- like that sentence.

Ted Nelson, the guy who coined the 'hypertext' idea in his book Computer Lib / Dream machines, is taking both of networks where the information is in the nodes, with no information carried in the edges (the way we have become accustomed to, through WWW), but also networks where the nodes are mere branching points with no information in the nodes (possibly except for labeling of the alternative branches), and all the text or other information lies along the edge to the next node.
Nelson makes no discussion about the two alternatives; it may look as if he wasn't very much aware of it at all. If you approach Dream Machines with a conviction that the WWW ball-and-stick model is The One True Realization of Nelson's hypertext ideas, you can certainly find evidence in CL/DM.
If you rather approach it thinking that Nelson meant nodes to be selectors of the next text fragment, as an edge leading up to the next selection point, you will find so much evidence for it that you may think WWW is a gross misinterpretation of the hypertext idea. (At least the 1974 vintage. After 35 years with WWW, our minds have become drilled to think of nothing but the ball-and-stick model for hypertext concepts.)
