I can answer that. We track our customers' browsers very closely. My company would lose about $100M of online sales if we didn't support Netscape 4.7 or IE 5.0.
One of the things I value about Slashdot's comments is that before applying upgrades, I can read about people's experiences, so I'm not caught unware if an issue comes up. Different bugs always happen to different people. Sometimes the same problem that affects me affects you, sometimes it doesn't. But that doesn't mean just because yours was fine, everyone else's will be either. I was simply trying to point out what happened to 1 particular system. Nothing more, nothing less. If no one else has this happen to them, GREAT! But that doesn't mean I shouldn't let people know that it's a *possibility*.
Installing 10.2.4 screwed my network settings. I have my Network preferences panel set to "Manually" configure, but after the upgrade, OS X lost it's memory. The panel still showed the settings correctly, and I repeatedly hit "Apply," but it would not set the parameters.
I had to resort to ifconfig, route, and hand editing/etc/resolv.conf
They don't use strobes or moving images. They use a special technique that produces images when you move in front of it. There is nothing dynamic about the image itself. That's one of the reasons this is getting so much press. Everyone, including Sub-Media, would admit that it isn't a new idea. But they're technique is much less complex, higher quality, and (most importantly) cheaper for the subways.
Read about a device called the zoetrope. That will shed some light on the technique.
It doesn't operate like a flip book. There are no individual frames of the image. The train must be moving for any type of image to be discernible. When sitting still, it looks like visual gibberish, somewhat like a stereogram.
The ads aren't individual frames of a movie. If you stand still, and look at one of the images, it looks somewhat like a stereogram. No discernible image unless moving.

I have an ATI 7000 AGP and ATI 7500 PCI and don't get any of this tearing on either one, in 10.2.3 or 10.2.4?

Thanks Apple!

Be clear, Sub-Media isn't claiming to be the first. They just have a new, better technique.
And the PhD isn't forged, but nice flamebait.
The idea of animated ads isn't new, but Sub-Media's technique is much less complex and much less costly for the subway.
You are partly correct. But the Sub-Media system does NOT rely on lenses. They use a different, patented technique.
