Scientific Visualization with Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the she-blinded-me dept.

spectatorion writes "O'Reilly is running this article by quantum chemist Drew McCormack about developing scientific visualization applications using Mac OS X. From the article, 'For those of you not familiar with VTK, it is to visualization what Cocoa is to application development: VTK provides a high-level object-oriented framework which allows you to easily visualize 3D data sets without having to write any low-level OpenGL code.' Definitely a good read for any scientists trying to develop for Mac OS X."

    Dear Apple,

    I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

      Dear Father O'Day:

      Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.

      I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).

      Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!

      Sincerely,

      Harry Rodman
