"If TiVo Thinks You Are Gay, Here's How to Set It Straight" (WSJ)
This is great, not only does it highlight the fact that people relate to computers as humans (and assume they think the same way as we do), but that they will change their behaviour due to the way electronics and software work.
I've encountered it before - the London perl mongers irc channel has a few bots in it, and most of the time, people are playing to that audience rather than the humans.
Maybe they're easier to please. Is TiVO a pet replacement?
