Cel shading can be achieved by rendering a wireframe version of a polygon using thick lines, then rendering the textured/shaded polygon on top giving a nice outline around the final object.
Someone needs to write a tool that has an enormous database of architecture "primitives" that can be easily connected and then skinned/themed/scaled/transformed/and otherwise adjusted.
Obviously, the revolutionary (difficult) part would be the ease of connecting and seperating these building blocks. Not outside the realms of possibilty, but I can't imagine the complexity of the algorithms needed to join that kind of geometry.
As the article mentions, we've had digital interactive tv for some time now in the UK. I've played a few of the games myself, but they really appear as nothing more than a passing gimmick.
A few of the quiz games are interesting and sometimes the programme tie-ins are fun but as for playing proper games; the "platform" just doesn't allow for reliable real-time interaction. There's like a 1/2 second delay on button presses for gawd's sake.
Anyway, the picture quality in Digital televsion doesn't match a good analogue signal (though maybe your HDTVs over there will allow something better?)
However, cognitive functions such as memory and response times were boosted by both 3G signals and the current ones, the study found.
Well fair enough then. That might be true, but I do wonder how and why they decided to test that.

According to this page, sod's law was the original name for "if anything can go wrong it will" and has been around for much longer than "Murphy's Law". The 'sod' simply refers to an arbitrary unfortunate individual..

Actually, the iFP-390T DOES support OGG Vorbis. I've been using it happily for a few months now.

Is it the Sunday?
Yeah, that's what real people look like.
