No, I was refering to the thosands of PC configurations out there. Even then each of the motion sensors would probably need a different driver and all that crap.

When it comes to software, screenshots are one of the best tools to get an idea of the software's quality before you even download it.
Poor interfaces (esp if they do not follow the windows theme or use stupid eye candy) are a complete turn off to me and usually a GOOD indicator of the program's end value. I want LOTS of screenshots showing me each of the features. Perhaps a few screenshots in the actual review, and a link to a gallery with thumbnails of each of the shots and a link to a full resolution version.
At least for me, I like to see the whole screen in at least one of the shots. I'm not sure why, but it seems to convey some kind of honesty to me.

Until the music industry releases something OTHER than a crap 128kps file that sounds like my neighbors 12 year old daughter made it with her own MP3 encoder she made in middle school C++ class, I'll be copying my music from CD and the internet.
The music industry hates consumers. DRM, "copy protection" virus/malware, etc.
4. Really? It's that simple? Well, you know how when you do a regular Google web search, you get back uncannily accurate search results?
5. Usually. But sometimes they're a little off. Yeah, that's why our early testers thought that Soulmate Search's "Did you really mean...?" feature came in very handy.
6. What is Contextual Dating? It's a free date plus the added accrued value of the past decade's worth of post-Industrial Age online marketing genius, all tied into a real-time, video-based, GPS-tracked, psychographically astute and environmentally pervasive promotional system.
7. Come again? You see ads that might make your date better.
8. Such as? Flowers. Music. Personal advice. E-greetings. Later on, depending on how our long-term opt-out natural-language-based monitoring system thinks things are going, personalized thank you notes, romantic getaway offers, various intimate pharmaceutical come-ons, engagement and bridal wear catalogs - you know the drill.
9. What if I don't want to see contextual dating ads? Don't use the product.
10. What do you mean when you say Google Romance is a beta product? What do you mean when you ask us what we mean when we say Google Romance is a beta product? It is what is it, okay? It's new, it's probably still buggy, which is to say that yes, by using this product now you conceivably are setting yourself up for a disastrous outcome - but on the other hand, you might also be on the verge of thrilling to an experience that will transform your very existence and only could have come about because you took this step, right here, right now. You're online; take a chance. We may never pass this way again. Carpe diem. The world could, like, end tomorrow, you know? Gather ye rosebuds while
3. What is Soulmate Search? Here on the Google Romance team, we follow the philosophy "Don't be medieval," so we brought only the latest psychographic and search algorithms to bear on the problem of hooking up our users. First you fill out an extensive personal profile carefully designed by a team of both married and single Google engineers for the express purpose of gathering and analyzing romantic information. Then you fill out an equally obscure and elaborate profile describing various attributes of the person with whom you wish to spend the rest of your life and click 'Search Romance.' It's that simple.
> RTFAA they use them to extract random data(noise).Good for one-time pads.
No, not good for "onetime pads". Since BOTH parties have to get the exact same signal, it can not include random noise. If it does not include random noise, then anyone can record the quasars and see what fits.
Even then, I'm sure using simple geometry and an ultra-precise laster rangefinder anyone could figure out where the dish is pointed.
Prior to joining InPhase Technologies, I set up a meeting on or about November 11, 2004 with Seagates's CEO Bill Watkins to discuss my planned departure....At some point in the conversation Mr. Watkins said: "Just tell me it's not InPhase Technologies." I told him it was InPhase Technologies.
At that point, Mr. Watkins picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Watkins then said: "Fucking Nelson Diaz (President and CEO of InPhase Technologies) is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill InPhase Technologies."....
Thereafter, Mr. Watkins resumed trying to persuade me to stay....Among other things, Mr. Watkins told me that "InPhase Technologies not a real company. It's a house of cards."
> In fact, they are a product of new technological advances, such as the world's first bio-cellulose membrane used to supply instantaneous audio response in the speaker driver. This membrane is said to be by the company, faster than most conventional speaker drivers found in traditional headphones, making the Everglide s-500 optimized for millisecond feedback to provide optimum gaming audio response. Together with the improved speaker driver, the Everglide s-500 also supplies the user with pinpoint precision from where the sound is coming, being accurate to the pixel from where a footstep or a gunshot is coming. The very large circumaural leather muff apart from making the headset comfortable to wear for long hours, has also the feature of reducing surrounding ambient noise to a minimum (very helpful if used in large events such as LAN-Parties ).
Wow, a bio-cellulose membrane! It's faster at making sound!
I need to hit somebody. This is just a rewording of the product page on the Everglide store.
If somebody wants to put forth the effort then great but honestly why don't we concentrate on getting the documentation so that a reasonably intelligent non disabled person can use it first. Then we can worry about the blind.

It's in "thre dimensions" but it is on the surface of a platter, just like the hard drives of today. We aren't talking a "cube" of storage.

Sorry to break it to you, but spyware doesn't install itself.
It is MORE than possible to run a Windows machine without ever getting a virus or spyware.

A properly secured Windows box is more secure than you think.
You just need the correct setup and firewall.

The second fullscreen pano is simply amazing. I'd buy a plasma and put it in my window to see these shots.
