More 3D Displays to Come

Anonymous Writer writes "The first laptop using an autostereo display to show images in 3D without special glasses was the Sharp Mebius PC-RD3D in Japan, later released in the US as the Sharp Actius RD3D. NEC has a line of computers with autostereo displays as well. They are the NEC Valuestar T VT900/8D desktop, the LaVie S LS900/9E laptop, and LaVie RX LR700/8E laptop. The line uses NEC's SoundVu technology that uses the display as a speaker! Autostereo displays are becoming more popular according to Martyn Williams and Tom Krazit from the IDG News Service. In their article in PC World, they claim laptops are just the start of it. A new satellite service by Mobile Broadcasting will be broadcasting 3D content to handheld devices in Japan some time soon. Another player in this market is Dynamic Digital Depth (mentioned in a previous post of mine), whose content services convert 2D video to 3D for display in this medium. Sanyo may be releasing 50-inch Plasma Displays that can display 3D. MIT's Media Laboratory is developing a more advanced 3D display, calling it a full resolution autostereoscopic display, that would allow a viewer to walk around and not lose the 3D effect, which current autostereo displays can't do."

    GNAA / Google confirms: Linux is dying.
    By GNAA Staff

    Here you have it: it's official; Google confirms: Desktop Linux is dying.

    Now, you might be thinking this is just another cut & paste troll based on the typical *BSD is dying bullshit.
    It isn't.
    As you might have know, your favorite search engine, Google, has been running a little statistics service, called "Zeitgeist".
    Since about a year ago, they started providing statistics of the operating systems used to access their search engine worldwide.
    I will let the numbers speak for themselves:

    Operating Systems Accessing Google in January 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in March 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in April 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in May 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in June 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in July 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in August 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in September 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in November 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in December 2002
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in January 2003
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in February 2003
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in April 2003
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in May 2003
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in June 2003
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in July 2003
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in August 2003
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in September 2003
    Operating Systems Accessing Google in November 2003

    If you've looked at even a few of these links, you don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Desktop Linux's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Desktop Linux faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux on Desktop because Linux is dying. Things are looking very bad for Linux on Desktop. As many of us are already aware, Linux on Desktop continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    According to Google Zeitgeist, there are about 80% of Internet Explorer 6 users. The only platform supporting Internet Explorer 6 is, of course, Microsoft Windows. These statistics are consistent with the earlier presented graphs of the operating systems used to access Google, with the Windows family consistently taking the top 3 ranks. Out of remaining 20%, the split is even between MSIE 5.5, MSIE 5.0, both Windows-only browsers. Netscape 5.x

    Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda stepped off the bus and was led into the yard of the Main
    State Correctional Institute. He had been given ten years for participating in
    a stock fraud. Five with good behavior. Years spent basking in the glow of a
    CRT had been hard on him. His body was frail, his skin pallid. He knew he could
    never make it through ten years in the general population with his virginity
    intact. He had to get into solitary.

    As soon as the burly guard unshackled him he made his move. Exhaling a feminine
    "hmmph" he weakly slapped the guard. He was quickly taken to the ground,
    receiving a swift kick to the ribs before being restrained. As he was dragged
    to the solitary confinement cell he felt nothing but relief. "At least in
    solitary," he thought "I'll be safe." Unfortunately for Rob he had picked the
    wrong guard to mess with.

    The next few days were uneventful. The time in his cell he spent evenly between
    sleeping, reading a "Perl for Dummies" book he had gotten from the book cart,
    and masturbating furiously. His self-flagellation was interrupted on the fourth
    day. The burly guard he had attacked earlier stepped into his cell. The gleam
    in the guards eye and the mean grin on his face made Rob's pecker quickly
    shrivel in his hand. "You fucked with the wrong man when you fucked with
    Michael Simms," said the guard. "The inmates here call me The Asshole for a
    reason. Now come with me, punk."

    The guard led him down the hall to one of several empty shower stalls. He
    roughly threw Rob in the stall and locked the door. Rob was petrified. His mind
    raced as he imagined the myriad of different tortures that could be in store
    for him. His worst fears were confirmed when the guard returned. In his hands
    were a short black dress, black stilleto heels, and a curly blonde wig. "Strip
    down and put this on, bitch." Rob did as instructed and was pleased to notice
    that the dress fit well and the heels gave him a nice slimming effect. The
    burly guard admired the drag queen. "The GNAA is gonna love you!"

    The guard left the shower stall, only to return minutes later. He opened the
    door and led 20 large black men into the stall. "Rob, meet the Gay Nigger
    Association of America. GNAA, meet Rob. I'm sure you all will get along fine."
    With that the guard slammed the shower door closed and walked away laughing.

    The men approached Rob, backing him into a corner. The apparent leader stepped
    forward. "No matter what I'm gonna fuck that purdy lil' ass of yours. Now I can
    fuck it dry or you can lube it up for me." Rob knew he had no choice. He
    kneeled in front of the leader, who began to slap his face with his 10 black
    inches. Puss from syphilictic sores quickly covered Rob's cheeks. When the
    leader was sufficiently aroused he placed his throbbing cock up to Rob's lips.
    As soon as Rob opened his mouth the leader violently shoved his manhood to the
    back of Rob's throat and exclaimed "Swallow my shit you cracker bitch!" Rob
    gagged as he was violently face fucked.

    Just when he was about to pass out the leader pulled out, turned him around and
    shoved his cock into Rob's ass. Rob began to scream in agony but his cries were
    quickly muffled by one of the other gang member's cocks. They rode him like
    that for the better part of an hour. When one man finished another quickly took
    his place. Just as Rob was getting used to the throbbing pain in his anus the
    men stopped. One man lay down on the floor and Rob was told to get on top of
    him and take his dick inside him. Exhausted and humiliated, Rob had no will
    left to fight. As soon as he inserted the penis another man came up behind him
    and began to force his cock into Rob's already filled anus. Again his screams
    of agony were muffled, this time by a smelly black anus.

    For another hour he was violated in this way. When the men were finished with
    him he couldn't walk and his mouth was filled with dingleberries and ass hairs.
    Before they all left the leader had some parting words for Rob: "Thanks for
    that sweet piece of ass, punk. We'll see you again tomorrow. Oh by the way, we
    all have AIDS." It was going to be a long ten years for Rob.

    How about develop a hdtv plasma display for under a $1000 dollars.

    Put some research into that.
