: But, Can She Cook?: An article in Wired, The Love Machine, describes an experiment to see if having an attractive virtual companion on your desktop that converses with you and asks you about exercising can get you to work out more. Sounds a lot like a "VHost" from Oddcast. I am both creeped out, and oddly hopeful that something like this could work. My primary use would be to use the hot virtual chick to get people to buy music. Sinister? Yes.
