Emil,

I had noticed that a few months ago when they were previewing the episode. Science fiction writers often get their ideas from designs on scientists' drawing boards and maybe even vice versa.

I remember when Perrier was first introduced into the United States. I had read that they influenced gossip columnists to say things like, "Richard Gere was seen sipping Perrier with Kim Basinger at Spago." So, any kind of exposure is nice.

I recognize that this is not the same since this isn't name brand exposure, but one of the issues with VRD is the likelihood of its acceptance by the public. I think that exposure like this might provide a marginal benefit toward that end.
