The description states that he used a custom texture pack, nothing more. In this pack he made a bunch of iron blocks with text on them. He also made Wooden pressure plates invisible, and had placed them over the 'buttons'. Pretty ingenious.
The video in TFA states that there would be a button somewhere that the rider would have to press to make the coaster go down the final drop, so there is a way of chickening out.
The reason physical space has any value at all is that there is only ONE of that given space. If / When AR becomes a thing that actually matters, there is zero chance that only one AR 'space' within a physical space exists, making it meaningless if someone took your physical space and used it for whatever they wanted to in AR. No single entity will hold a monopoly over AR 'space'. There would be all sorts of varieties, such as MS, Apple, Starbucks, TPB, you name it. As soon as that 'space' is available to anyone who gives enough of a shit to set up something in an AR, all value it may have held is lost forever.
Well, the market for video media is changing. If they didn't do this or come up with something that raised the competitive bar dramatically, they would just be left in the dust.
Whether this is a good or bad thing is another matter. It could cause Netflix to expand its selection - which it really needs to do, it's way to small even at this point - or it may just as easily cut the market for this kind of thing into smaller sections - for example, Netflix having a monopoly over Disney movies or something of the sort.
Me > Russian space program in terms of Mbits per second. Awesome.
PS: I know that a connection of such a huge distance would grind commercially available speeds to a halt, but don't piss on my parade.
Would you happen to know what the material is?
I don't think the government would ban the material itself if this happened, but instead ban the finished product. Still, this seems highly unlikely
"...is currently freely available from all sorts of astonishingly illegal websites."
So these websites aren't just illegal, they're *astonishingly* illegal! This changes damn near everything about my view of the story!

I agree. It's very tasy.
From an end user standpoint, should I care who owns Delicious? Hopefully it means some sort of integration between the two.
Parent should be modded down. Link is NSFW and mentally scarring.
The link was faulty the first minute or so the article was up, but it seems to have fixed itself now.

Does that engine come with a car attached to it?
Erm... Verily?
