Build a Rotisserie Scanner With Legos
WalkingBear writes "All you 3d geeks out there should take a look at this. This guy has built a 3d scanner (scans 3d objects resulting in a 2d cylindrical image map) out of a flat bed scanner and Lego. Also has a turntable style for use with digital cameras."

It is official; Netcraft confirms: Netcraft is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Netcraft community when IDC confirmed that Netcraft market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all surveys. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Netcraft has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Netcraft is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent net survey comprehensive test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict Netcraft's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Netcraft faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Netcraft because Netcraft is dying. Things are looking very bad for Netcraft. As many of us are already aware, Netcraft continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Web Server Survey Netcraft is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Web Server Survey developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Netcraft is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Netcraft Admin leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of Netcraft SSL Server Survey. How many users of Security Testing are there? Let's see. The number of Netcraft SSL Server Survey versus Security Testing posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Security Testing. Find that site Netcraft posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Security Testing posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Find that site Netcraft. A recent article put What's that site running Netcraft at about 80 percent of the Netcraft market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Netcraft users. This is consistent with the number of Netcraft Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Security Testing, abysmal sales and so on, Web Server Survey is going out of business and will probably be taken over by Netcraft who sell another troubled net survey. Now Netcraft is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Netcraft has steadily declined in market share. Netcraft is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Netcraft is to survive at all it will be among net survey dilettante dabblers. Netcraft continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Netcraft is dead.
Fact: Netcraft is dying
