Sun to GPL Project Looking Glass

elleomea writes "According to The Register, Sun is releasing Project Looking Glass, their new GNU/Linux based 3D window managing system, under the GPL during their JavaOne conference (beginning today)." The screenshots of Looking Glass make it out to be very pretty. I'm not sure if I have the spare CPU cycles to power such an environment, but it's sure nice to drool over.

File JAVA and its promise of platform independance away with all those AT&T commercials from the mid 90's that promised you would soon be able to check out and read entire books via the internet, make video phone calls, and perform remote heart surgery with their new technology.

I will give them this though, they did manage to corner the handheld/cell phone market with JAVA. But then again, A JAVA app written for i-Mode phones won't work on a Blackberry, so I guess they fscked that one up too.
