Okay, now I can watch my ASF and AVI porn in coach while flying without eliciting gasps from fellow passengers. Does this company have any advice on how to reach into my pants without attracting attention?
Or more specifically, the US government built what we now know as the original internet infrastructure. No one company would have built as open a system - profit is in proprietary approaches according to conventional wisdom.
Seems like taxpayer funding for projects that acheive a greater good already has precedent in the area of technology.
I think it was in the late 80's that I read about a company working on virtual displays you wore as glasses which projected the image right onto your retina. They had at least one prototype and it was monochrome at the time. I remember they were sure that it was safe, but as a reader I had my reservations. (What if there is a power surge? etc) Its big advantage over other technologies was that it could very cheaply produce virtual displays several feet wide.
The eShades don't seem to apply that technology. Does anyone know if anyone else is still developing that approach?
Take a closer look at the first set of screen shots (matrix, telephone booth.) It is supposed to show how the MPEG4 version of the MPEG2 frame is only slightly degraded. Does anyone else find it odd that the Media Player dialog frame in the "second" screen shot is also degraded?
I think this is evidence of goof or a mis-representation that the second screenshot is from MPEG4 when in reality it is the same graphic file with reduced resolution to simulate what the MPEG4 version would look like.
intellectual property is not recognized (like China.) Seems like China has the right idea in this instance. I believe Russia did not recognize intellectual monopolies either until a few years ago.
Sci-fi almost seem like scripts for self fulfilling prophecies: a few years ago I read about a company building a "tricorder" (where do you think they got the idea?)
Perhaps recognizing that popular media and culture produce "group think" of sorts in intellectuals is a powerful tool for innovation in itself. Maybe if one wants to come up with radical thoughts, immerse in non-mainstream cultures is good medicine?
Perhaps anything influenced by popular media is "in the box" thinking.

I hope this technology doesn't bleed into the cockpit. Who wants their pilot surfing the web?

Lawyers are not the medicine for this insanity.

Anything is appropriate for adults. I buy that. Everything appropriate for kids? I don't agree with that.
There is nothing wrong with a community setting standards. It may in fact by that there is something very wrong with communities that don't.
