The whole movie was just a creative way to spam.

Yup. Us robotics was kind of worried to do it at first, then they went for it. Figuring any publicity is good.Originally posted by Voodoo

Wernt they bought out by 3com a few years ago?Comment

no, the firm is called USR or US robotics..
I was thinking the same thing when I watched that movie..
Either the movie people are going to get their asses sued off, or they made a deal with USR(more probably) to use their name..
Really made me laugh though"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music."

"Watch for U.S. Robotics featured in this summer's epic action spectacular - I, ROBOT from Twentieth Century Fox -- scheduled to open July 16, 2004 (International launch dates may vary- see www.irobotmovie.com for details). Starring Will Smith as a Chicago Police Detective, the movie is based upon the nine stories in Isaac Asimov's "I, ROBOT" anthology, which also served as the inspiration for our company name. Much like the movie's leading-edge special effects, U.S. Robotics has been at the forefront of modem technology by connecting users to the Internet for nearly three decades.

Yeah thats just the name Asimov used for the robotics company in his BOOK, way way back in the day.. then a technology company came along, the founders must have read the book and then they used that name for themselves.Comment

us robotics modems were always considered the better ones to have.Comment

That was commercial propaganda back then.. When I bought my 1200 bauds GVC modem in 1988 it lasted longer than most of my friend's US Robotics modems.. The stats sample was small, but it still convinced me that all the hype surrounding their modems was bullshit.Originally posted by tony404
