On this week’s episode of History of Blogging, VC Blogger Dan Rua pontificates on the Revision3 / Media Defender scandal. Is this signs of things to come? Read an excerpt and I’ll see you on the other side.

The magnitude of such automated action usually intrigued me and troubled me at the same time. Today’s detailed claim by Revision3 of a MediaDefender denial of service attack on its BitTorrent port reminded me of the robot wars that are coming in air (via UAVs) and in the “cloud” (via MediaDefender and others).

I think Google is Cyberdyne.

In a completely unrelated note, a Japanese company called Cyberdyne has
created a powered robotic suit which they have lovingly named HAL.
