The Mountain View company makes interactive 3-D maps that fuse high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery, elevation data, GPS coordinates, and overlay information about cities and businesses to deliver a streaming, 3D map of the entire globe... Keyhole uses satellite images, aerial photos and other data to create 3-D maps that perform much like high-quality video games.
Can we just moderate this whole story as redundant?
The only market not susceptible to the shift will be gaming and graphics-intensive applications, where the refresh rates of LCDs are not satisfactory yet.
And graphic intense (Photoshop? Gimp?) programs need high refresh rates? I understand gaming but why would refresh rates matter as much as image quality on LCDs?
Too often, code is simply scanned over and rubber-stamped rather than thoroughly reviewed
That is far from what happens here where I work, sounds nice not to be harassed about every little thing... If it isn't spaced properly I get the code back, if a variable isn't named right, I get the code back.
Well obviously they are going to have to do something amazing to keep up with best selling consoles, but I wonder if they are going to try to beat everyone to the start of the 6th generation console. Would they be able to do this and die like the Dreamcast simply because of other companies using that as an example and blow it out of the water with their systems? As much as I don't like them, I bet Microsoft will put a whole lot more effort into xbox2 and make it a killer system, just look at all the gaming companies they have bought over recently...
The point of p2p networks nowadays is to copy files that some people may not want you to be copying... For the people who download movies, music, software, and pr0n.
Oh now Linux developers are actually trying to make a unified GUI standard? Its sure nice to see everyone moving to the right idea here, but I am sure people will still complain because it is all about 'choice'...
Why don't they just spend money on developing a wider range wireless technology that has a lower price and place those all along highways places where more people will be. I just don't understand why a cyber cafe would be more of an interest than wide scale internet.

God bless all our troups, my prayers are with them...
I understand there are pros and cons of going to war, but when your country decides either way it doesn't hurt to support them.

Try Wine, its still your only chance...
Try to make a Linux game that doesn't reek of amateurish game play and graphics for once...
I hope it has just as much pr0n!!!

and when they push it out too early someone else will go on the same idea and be a best seller!!! (Anyone think of Dreamcast here?)
Archive all your webpages you ussually look at on to a CD and bring it with you, that way you can read everything you normally would! =P
