Intel Needs To Make More Jeffreys
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 8 of February , 2010 at 5:11 am
I was too busy taking a nap to watch the Super Bowl, but fortunately the important parts of it are now up on YouTube. For what it’s worth, Intel, with the amount of money that this commercial probably cost you, I bet you could have made an actual Jeffrey.
Jeffrey has his own Facebook page, of course, complete with vacation photos and wisecracks in binary. Here’s his bio:
Activities: Beeping, moving around stiffly, applying logic to problems, speaking in monotone, computin’ and figurin’, weightlifting
Interests: Binary Code, Quantum theory, sensory robotics, differential calculus, grilled cheese sandwiches, muscle cars, full contact chess, flight simulator games, number crunching and going for long rolls on the beach.
Favorite Movies: Terminator, Short Circuit, Tron, Star Wars, The Matrix, Iron Giant, A.I, and the Ernest series.
Favorite Music: Daft Punk, Crystal Method, Rush, Moby, Fatboy Slim, Massive Attack, The Zep, Chemical Brothers. Pretty much all electronica. And Crunk.
Favorite Books: I, Robot; 1984; old Commodore 64 user manuals (still hilarious).
Favorite TV Show:
Battlestar Gallactica, Robot Chicken, Star Trek, Lost, Battle Bots, Top Chef, Jeopardy,The Jetsons, America’s Next Top Rocket Scientist and Anderson Cooper 360
Mmm, grilled cheese sandwiches… I like this robot.

I’ve watched the video 5 times now, and I still can’t help feeling sorry for the little robot!
If only it were real. Sorry Jeffrey, I’m happy, as I have a cheaper better for the money AMD! ;)

“…with the amount of money that this commercial probably cost you, I bet you could have made an actual Jeffrey.”
My thoughts exactly. :)

“America’s Next Top Rocket Scientist”
I’ll buy a TV and get cable if that is an actual show.

IMO, the real sad part is that Jeffery is really well designed visually. You can tell the artist put some thought into him.
I could see one (or several) of these guys helping me out on a daily basis!

I wonder how good a pilot he actually is? Would love to see this little robot fly. I would think that he will be very good.
