I saw that too. Matt's a huge fan of technology, you can see lots of Apple refrences and such in Futureama and Simpsons.

Or the great Apple Newton reference:

Kearney: Hey Dolph, take a memo on your Newton: beat up Martin.
[Dolph writes "Beat up Martin" which the Newton translates as "Eat up Martha"]
Bah! [throws Newton]
Martin: [being bonked on the head] Ow!

I was channel surfing last night (12 am) and
saw a rerun of "Frazier" with a Segway in it!
Daphne was riding the Segway with Niles
chasing after her.

I don't normally watch Frazier so I
don't know when the original show aired.

Boy, those Segway PR group is every where.

:D

He might be watching the show on his computer and recording it to his Hard drive. So all he had to do was find the spot and take a screen shot. Pretty cool;)

Does anyone have a capture card hooked up so they can take pictures from videos or whatever on their TV? Those things are pretty cool.

Not sure if ATI is still offering their TV Wonder line, but those were alright for their day, bettered only by the All In Wonders, etc. Standalone video capture is pretty cheap nowadays, http://www.hauppauge.com has some pretty good products. A capable full video capture card/TV tuner can be had for under $100 these days.

Wow, I havn't seen the Simpson's in a while now, and wow, it has really gotten bad. Sure, there was a few funny parts like the interview of the lady who didn't want her kids to have religion injected into her kids through the media.

Now, American Dad, wow, that was a great show!

Actually, they replaced the Dog with a fish (a talking pet with a crush on the wife). The Alien replaced Stewie (an intelligent metro-sexual who needs diapers).

The segway on Sunday Night Simpsons (April 3) is a new one. Homer goes to prison and is the prison snitch, so he gets many things (Plasma TV, "Bling Bling that says snitch, and a segway). The prisoners get made, and as he is running (riding) from the prisoners that are after him, he rides off of a balcony on his Segway and yells "Fly, Segway, Fly!!"
