Remember that horrendous software Miles Bennett Dyson created in Terminator 2 prompting the Terminator to try to kill him? Chances are, the same thing will happen with Antares Audio Technologies new Voice Thing! Sure morphing your voice is completely awesome, but Antares doesn't see the underlying doom that Voice Thing! allows. Let's start by answering these questions that Antares poses:

"Want to sound like the characters you play in online games?"

For most online gamers, this may be a fun addition to said game, but for the severely addicted, this could even further blur the line between fantasy and reality.

"Want to change your voice in voice chat or VOIP apps?"

Have you heard horror stories about online credit card fraud or seen To Catch a Predator? The last thing we need is more anonymity on the internet.

"Want to create custom voices for podcasts, video, or other multimedia projects?"

I admit -- this would be pretty useful.

Voice Thing! is a software program that processes and changes voices in real time. You can be as subtle as you want with the changes, or you can transform yourself into a monster or an alien or whatever it is you kids are into these days.

The possibilities are endless as dictated by this nine-item list:
