Each of the current Graphical techniques are adept at different things. If we used Psi, polygons and voxels together we could create some stunning environments etc.
I take it (just skimmed the article) that these will only work in a zero gravity environment (so no levitation folks).... which renders it a bit useless anything other than sensory work as it has no anchor point with which to hold onto "STUFF" whilst it does other "STUFF". Unless it has an electro magnet on it shell...so then it could propel itself to a "station" magnetise itself in place and hook up R2D2 style to do the biz. Could be funky. I want one.... Anyone got a Zero G room I can play with it in?
Bigger Palmtops = Smaller Laptops.

OK....so Palmtops are getting bigger and more powerful.....Laptops are getting smaller and more streamlined.
So the palmtops are going to meet the laptops halfway? Then of course the more powerful (more useful) laptop (notebook... whatever) will render the palmtops obsolete....
If palmtops want to keep the market they must stay palm sized or get smaller....place the functionality of a palm into a watch...or a phone (hey....that's been done already)...or a pair of sunglasses (watch out for that lampost......!)
As technology inreases laptops will get smaller...no doubt about it.....Flash Rom cards willl increase in capacity, decrease in price.....win X on a flash rom card....now that should boot up quicker....
Flexible plastic screens......displays that link to your brain...you see it inside your head....spooky. How many colours does your imagination have. And does it check spelling?
I digress....
As the computer will be controlled by thoughts...and then relay the outcome back to the brain (bypassing those cumbersome things we call eyes) then all we will have is a rather silly looking baseball cap with electrodes and maybe a HUD for old times sake. Head tops......
Boy now it's getting silly......
who knows what may happen next....maybe we could use our brains for once.
I have a palm pilot...I use it to play chess...I'm a very disorganised person....far to disorganised to be bothered to use my palm pilot to organise myself. Only organised people use palm efficiently, that's why they're so organised. Figures....think about it.
The money behinf the oil companies ( and the polotics) will influence the restriction of cold fusion due to the loss of business it would cause them if it ever gets "discovered"......cars that run on water? OPEC won't like that at all......

Just a thought.
Anyone know a reason why it can't be done...?

CU.
Lets start the invasion plans now! We need some dramatic Classical music, some spaceships on spindly legs.....and some guns that fire sparks!
Get them before they get us, wot ho!
Interesting though....new Star Wars movie.....new planetary system discovered!.....Maybe in a galaxy not so far away.
The universe is a canvas on which our imagination draws pictures.
Damn that's profound.
Ciao!
