Oh, one mode I saw had "wire frame" figures, and the other was simple "stick men" with articulated joints, and the system seemed to be able to differentiate wrist movement and all five jointed fingers. I imagine that these were development platforms, no telling what will actually make it to the final product
This summer, there was a small "science fair" sponsored by MAKE Magazine at Seattle Center, here in Seattle. Microsoft had a large booth and several robots which used Kinect as their sensory input device. There were several different visual modes, of which this was one.
I suppose a screen grab image sent to some outside media could be considered a "leak", but the place was PACKED both weekend days, so I have to think quite a few people saw it and it wasn't being hidden...
There's really no way they could have enforced it anyway because it would have fallen in the lowest court, and indeed the ones that followed had they wished to appeal it.
Simply non-news. They screwed up, and caught it.
But other web sites may *try* to continue with this kind of bull shit. Again, it would never ever pass legal muster in a court, it's just asking for a huge class action (where no one wins except the lawyers)...
Florian Mueller is essentially a whore. I'm surprised that he can attract business anymore, it's well known by everyone (except maybe the mainstream media) that he's bought and paid for.
I'm almost 50. I've smoked pot since I was 14, and "done" a few other things as well. I've never purchased my drugs "on the street".
Now, in the early 80's in Portland, I could smoke a joint in the park and not be hassled.
Today? The cops would be all over me, and I'd have an unpleasent interaction with the "criminal justice system". The might raid my house, take my car, fine me 100's od $...
It is MUCH MUCH MUCH more legally dangerous to smoke pot today than it was 20-30 years ago.
Today, smoking pot is right up there with being a "terrorist".
Um, yeah, you just go on thinking thats a "future tense" activity. Maybe not intentionally, maybe a lower percentage...
Perhaps you are under the mistaken impression that Westerners are the majority on this planet?
In Africa, of course we Westerners expect this sort of thing, here in America, we have almost all seen Andrew Zimmern go the these exotic Third World locals and dish himself up a big plate of bugs.
But in many Asian counties such as the Korean Peninsula, certainly China, and probably Japan, bugs are not just the diet of poor people.
I've eaten many a bag full of butter fried grasshoppers (or some similar insect) from street stalls and shops right in downtown Seoul. And given some of the "exotic" (disgusting?) sea life that Japanese eat, bugs are surely in their diet as well.
Maybe MAYBE sometime in the future, insect protein will be added to ground meat products and baked goods for consumption by Westerners, be we are a VERY squeamish society in the United States, and I'll bet Western Europeans are much the same way.
I really miss the old days when they just reported the news factually...
I'm sorry, *which* "good old days" were these?
Perhaps you're referring to the days of Cronkite or before? You are of the "get off my lawn" era? I somehow doubt you are of that vintage, because if you were, you would know that the news-media has always had a heavy bias towards whatever the current power structure was. History proves this.
Unsupportable anecdotes aside, you are referring to something that has never existed.

"Spelling Nazi" bullshit is no longer funny. Now get back to taking my order. And I could I get my burger without spit?
The Seattle Police recently lost a lawsuit concerning access to Dash Cam video and related information about retention...

Since I''m over 25 and work for a living, this does not effect me.
...but also looked quite hot... ...and I was single so admittedly so did Margaret Thatcher
Seek counselling.
It's only normal to look at someone else's product and say "hey, that's a good idea, let's implement that too!".
But when Microsoft does it it's sleazy and dishonist?
I think your comparison is rather insulting, to prostitutes
A prostitute might be a whore, but a whore is not necessarily a prostitute.
Florian Mueller is essentially a whore. I'm surprised that he can attract business anymore, it's well known by everyone (except maybe the mainstream media) that he's bought and paid for.
Well not as funny as the current conservative candidate, not only is he one but he owns one. Now that's a rich dude.
You can laugh about Mitt all you want, but when HE dies, he'll get his own planet to lord over. It's the planet next to Tom Cruise's planet...

Drug war between opposite drug clan are relatively rare , and when they do happen they usually only impact seller, not buyer
Only at the "retail" level.
I'm sure the "story" poster intended to torch off a giant anti-Apple flame fest.
But as usual, it's a non-story.
As they say, "Move along, nothing to see here..."
...but it is tough to get over the hurdle of a crunchy bug shaped thing in your mouth.
Enough alcohol will take care of that.

better yet, just make the PC into a game console.
Well, yes, that's what I was getting at...
Exactly. What a stupid idea. Next they will be asking if Valve should make their own architecture.
In that case, why not ask if they should simply market their own game console? Perhaps it should run linux...

Peter Wright would have been all over this.
I'm guessing from your post that you have no life? Yes?
Why would someone expose themselve to a warez site anyway? Good way to pick up a desease...
Honestly, Demonoid? Just another warez site with too many pop-ups, banner ads, and sketchy "clean your computer" virus.
Cederic, it's a Pacific Northwest thing. Here, you will see it everywhere. People seem to think it's strange, but I don't understand why.
Maybe I'll devote an entire blog to the subject...
In the Pacific Northwest, socks with sandles *is* part od "Business Casual".
So sayeth a mid-level manager who wears Eddie Bauer button-down shirts, Dockers, and socks with sandles - every day.
