Does this mean this technology will be used strictly for 3D images/scenes, or when they say 3D are they referring to gaming?
Obviously and according to TFA, they're referring to 3D images/scenes. Gaming would require, amongst other things, browser-support for raw input devices, (at-least partial) server-side magic for processing interactive events. While these are definitely possible, they're not what this is about.
There has been no settlement because there has been no legal dispute. There has been no legal dispute because the creator didn't trademark the name 'Go'.
I think the number of people who use Microsoft's online services is less than the number of people who use Google's online services. We should be more concerned about Google's tie-ups with Feds and NSA.
And what about this? Do you seriously think it is anything other than paranoid FUD? (what I mean is: if the story is really logical, then the U.S. would have banned Chinese products long ago.) I'm not alleging bias or insincerity on part of the Slashdot authors. I'm just thinking they're too prejudiced (like other people) to be capable of filtering FUD effectively at all times. The reason why I'm worried is that it is precisely stories like these that destroyed people's critical thinking before invasion of Iraq.
The demonstration uses HTML5 video tag and gives video in h.264 format. What is being debated about YouTube HTML5 experiment is not the openness of HTML5, it's the closed nature of h.264 codec. Regarding support, though Firefox and Opera both support HTML5 but they lack the h.264 codec.
Slashdot Mirror
It's a shame that words like "CyberWar" appear meaningful to the Slashdot community.
We'll take your post into account when we build our next generation train link from India to Australia.
Yes it's based on the MPL, but it's not the MPL.
I didn't mean that CDDL == MPL. I just meant CDDL is not all that different from MPL.
Its Sun CDDL, a totally different license.
Wrong. Take a look at the first line on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Development_and_Distribution_License
I've always thought of it as Google's mouthpiece.

That's one thing everyone seems to be forgetting.
There has been no settlement because there has been no legal dispute. There has been no legal dispute because the creator didn't trademark the name 'Go'.
But they'll at-least think something panic-worthy happened.
Show the message in full screen using a blue background and white foreground. Just like a BSOD.
I think the "simulation" was just a part of a massive drama intended to justify this and future acts.
Simple, mate. It just means you'll no longer be able to say "OMG! I had no idea that my computer was sharing that movie" in court.
Hopefully us mere mortals will be able to benefit from such algorithms.
Which twisted parallel universe are you from?
If the code written so far is well documented, there should be no problem for anyone to continue development.

It's not "president". You probably meant "precedent".

All these FUD mongering stories are freaking me out and affecting my patience.
What do you think about all the recent "CyberWar" related stories like, for example, this one? Don't you think these are propaganda?

Thank you
Just tried it on my 64-bit system with Linux 2.6.31, GCC 4.4 and Glibc 2.10.1. Yes, Linux does allow it.
