IBM and Sun Launch Intranet Metaverses

Posted by samzenpus on from the meet-me-in-thunder-bluff dept.

wjamesau writes "Sun and IBM have launched intranet metaverses designed for business and built to work behind their corporate firewalls, so their worldwide employees can use them to collaborate together. Most interesting to game developers, IBM (which also runs a private, no public access Second Life island as a development lab) created their intranet world from the 3D Torque engine from Garage Games. Will the metaverse actually be thousands of gated community metaverses?"

    You know what's funnier...or not funnier, actually...that the CEO of IBM has a plan with this. To use virtual worlds to send soporific messages into our heads so we will be content to seek a s*x doll for love while he slips into our houses at night to impregnate OUR WIVES! With his OWN living cock, no less, not a remote or a prosthetic or a robot. But you can stop him with a little harmless layer of hummus...on everything...you, the door, your wife, the CEO. He'll laugh and go home. It ends with a few good garbanzos. Live free!
