  1. Interface by dumeinst · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've always imagined people using something other than a monitor to view a 3d desktop and something other than a mouse to navigate it. Something Like VR glasses that could also track your eye movement, etc.

    I don't find a 3d desktop using current interfaces that exciting, nor do I think it would be a boon to productivity. Sure does look purty though

  2. Have you seen the screenshot? by elyalvarado · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Can you believe it that was OpenOffice.org in the screenshot, and not Sun's own StarOffice.
    The way I see it even Sun knows the future is in Opensource, after all it is their advanced software lab using openoffice instead of staroffice.

    Signature? why do I need such a silly thing. If It makes me think, I don't want one.
