Soledad O'Brien and Dev Null 1997 MSNBC

[otacon451]

wait, i thought this would have something to do with dev/null, breakcore :(((((

[nagrom97]

This was shown the day before I was born, wow!

[hcvang]

loved this when i was a kid and into technology

[marasu66]

Dev Null is so cute with his flexing dreads.

[bigblackeyes77]

hey i had no idea that soledad was a dumb female till i watched her interview last night with the imam....she kept repeating same meaningless questions and got flustered and confused.......shes proved to be a SHAME for CNN.....yuck at her intelligence

[showiproute]

Poor Leo. He wore a special suit in the back with a puppeteer doing his mouth animation and a puppeteer doing his hair animation.

[expectationlost]

argh the website

[Zoomer30]

Wow..... Have not seen the good old moving spacescape behind the big N in awhile. Netscape is so 1997. Hard to think about not having the web how it's taken over. AND IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN AROUND 20 YEARS YET!!!!!

[ThinlyVeiledMetaphor]

During the whole time this show was on, I never got the sense she had the least bit of interest in computers or the internet. She also came off as abrasive, especially during the segments with Dev.

But, thanks for posting this, it's still amazing to me that with all the success of tech podcasts, and all of the talented people who produce and host them, we don't have a cable TV channel that focuses on tech and the internet.

[showiproute]

Wow Leo Laporte's early work before ZDTV. Poor Leo was in a different room in the studio in a motion capture suit with a puppeteer doing the animation for his mouth and another puppeteer doing animation for his hair.

terrible reporter. fear mongering conservative. too bad

[ZX2ManDave]

Time to hit the tanning boths Soledad so we can shoot Black in America #2

Just look at her skin tone here then compare it with more recent videos from CNNs Black In America specials. Its easy to see she tried to present herself as white earlier and now is cashing in on the fact that she is like 1/3rd black (if that).

[r3dshif7]

Haha, That's too funny.

[NYTruth]

She's actually HALF Black -- her mother is 100% Cuban of African decent. You're also not taking into account the technological innovations of tv cameras that have taken place in the past DECADE since this particular clip was shot. It's called HD TV and it does in fact register skin tones more accurately. Your commentary is beyond ignorant and misleading!!! Go play in traffic.

[ZX2ManDave]

Shes actually cashing in and playing the race card quite well.

I see on CNN now that she is going to be doing Latino In America next.

When will she cash in on her white side and do White In America?

[starfly7]

I want her....

[ilovesoledadobrien]

The way she treats Dev is so funny and cute in this clip. You know she's not enjoying it, but has to put up with it.

[beverly555]

She (O'brien) has the mouth of a horse.

[pancho8721]

a sexy horse!!!

[beverly555]

Hardly, she looks like she should be paired up with Mr. Ed.

[Spectr4L]

OMG early internet.. I remember that ^_^

I really just watched this for Soledad O'brien though. Love her cute little face and voice..

[VallaeBoy]

Aint that the truth...she is 10.0 on the cutness rictor scale

[richard833]

is that leo laporte?

[snarfelhamana]

yes

[mocachik]

yay pictures of the internet in the old days :)

[Feelfreetosayhi]

netscape navigator, fuck yeah! brings back memories

[incarnatrix]

jesus what am i watching

[ilovedominantwomen]

This program first introduced me to Soledad O'Brien back in 1996. She still looks good, but back then she was STUNNING and her beauty gave me a crush on her. I would love to have every TV appearance with her on DVD. She has recently done a great job guest-hosting 360°. I wish CNN would utilize her more.

[sidewalkpilot]

she is fuck ugly

[HeyRadialMoon]

She was the prototype for Zadi Diaz. Believe it! This was a great show. At the time there was very little if any peer to peer video file sharing online. So as far as tech/web/nerd-life news in a video format, this was the very big deal. I was seriously disappointed when this show went dark. What the hell were they thinking? Typical short-sighted TV network mindset. And remember the network was msnbc. A joint venture between Microsoft and NBC to cover tech and web related content. Epic Fail!

[benjaminshinobi]

Soledad O'Brien used to be cool. I loved this show.

[capelipl]

soledad fascist cunt ,what is flakier than what is happening in america? talking heads like yours are killing america, managed nonsense for idiot tv drones. go suck a fascist cock ,its more honest work

[lastnymleft]

[gangstasmurf06]

wow... uhh.. what? Seriously, what?

[truthfbeauty]

»»Soledad O´Brien is TERRIFIC!...:- BEAUTIFUL!...FASCINATING!...IN­TERESTING!...LOVELY!...

[DavidTube4You]

I loved this show. It was the only one of its kind at the time. I had the biggest crush on Soledad.

[sgtpepper1138]

OH MY GOD, I just figured out that's LEO LAPORTE thanks to drprodny

[cruxvader]

wow she is so young and pretty

[blackwatchstudio]

Hot!

[Zoomer30]

Wow...Netscape. Oh those were the days. Back when IE sucked wind...oh wait IE still sucks :)

[Zoomer30]

It was a good show but did not last long, dont even think it lasted a year. Dev Null is kinda mix of Max Hedrom/Jim Carey thing.

[drprodny]

Jeez - no wonder Leo has less than fond memories of THE SITE, Emmy win or no! :o

[mfischlin]

wasn't that guy andy cahan once a member of gigmasters dot com ?

[angryshoebox]

I remember this too. I watched it regularly. Hard to believe it was 10 years ago already. Check out them showing that guy's site with Netscape Navigator lol! And sending that guy songs?! When hardly anybody had broadband? Probably take like 4 hours to e-mail him a wav file over dial-up lol!

[JesdaG]

Wow, I remember this show.
