The problem is to get a reliable system it would require a good chipset (for using 64 bit, PCI express, so on) and there are only a few good ones out there (nvidia, and via makes those) and these just happen to come bloated already with that needless crap and the rest the mother board put simply takes use of that, so you have no choice rather than to get all of that if you want a compatible and still powerful system (since you mention you had other good components). Or you can go for one of the lesser known brandings and chipsets, which will have less performance, compatibility issues. Then again, I might be wrong too.
I originally intended to say 3D Interfaces in a true 3D interface (in 3d space, where when you look from front and back its different), not a virtual 3d interface in a 2d screen. I just like to think of the uses being like my desk, I can put stuff, stack them (like you said), and go through them just like I do in real life. There is no such 3d interface currently to compare what I meant.
But you never know how useful it might get. When the computer systems were first created, no one thought or them to be used for wordprocessing, or surfing the web or games. Same with arpnet, who would have though a couple of decades later it would be used daily by millions to read news, play games, listen to music, download movies, and waste time reading random sites. The possibilities are unlimited, we just know the potential of it yet, as technology progresses, it will come clear. (Same with USB, at the time, they didnt think it would be used so widely)
The mouse subject was accidental, I was initially writing about the mouse when I realized this, and your are right a mouse wouldnt really work well.
Would be pretty nice to have a a simply point and touch in a real space, or simply just have the computer track eye movements, where you can just simply stare down a item you wish to click (or look at it and click) or a combination of touch and look.
After reading this, I noticed one thing, seems like the idea has been stuck into the same idea this whole time, a simple 2d screen. Even vr googles use two 2d screens. Hopefully this will change more as the development of layered LCD's and other technologies start comming up. True 3d gui's are what I am waiting for now.
Its better than 0 x 0. All devices have to start somewhere, and 4 x 4 seems like a good start. Now just need to shrink, compact, implant, shrink, compact, implant until a whole array is devices. Actually they might just say screw the retina and directly interface with the cable/nerve budle going from eye to brain. Having a VGA in or similar port in the back somewhere in my body would be cool.
I would also like the camera to be equipped with infrared and a thermal imaging device.
You might want to check in with Serious sam, just a funny game with a ridiculously insane (in a good way) engine. Wonder why that engine never kicked off...?
But that was mostly done with scanning the distance around a given point (or several points), and it had no image but just a depth map, even if there was image it would be used to simply identify more the object at a given point, not to this scale.
This is quite impressive, yet they still have to work out those glitches that are quite visible. Its fast, but they are giving away precision for speed.
The other thing I don't understand is the used for rapid generation of these, speed is good, but cutting down on how accurate it is for speed is not acceptable. A better view would be pre-rendering the images with more precision/accuracy. Not like buildings come and go every day.
LOL (not to sound like a aim whore, but seriously). I read through the whole article, and I have no comment other than laughing. Well.. have fun with that theory.
The familiar linux project mainly aims at the arm processors, but they are slowly but steadily perfective the art of linux on the handtop, and I specially like the few on-screen keyboards, and the handwrite recognition apps they had included. A port of the familar distro (http://familiar.handhelds.org/) would be very nice to see on the DS.
Its kind of like going to the library to study, no distractions. When you have a conference usually everyone motivates everyone else to stay on subject and get the job done. When its over the network, or simply just a meeting online everyone might be doing something else... one playing wow, and some other guy coding a new hack to show off, conferences really gets the job done.
Ha, wonder if the RIAA is going bezerk as they always do, similar to the internet2 controvorsy.
"ONE MUSIC CD UNCOMPRESSED IN ONE SECOND"
"ONE DVD UNCOMPRESSED IN EIGHT SECONDS"
To be honest, this wasnt very impressive. Its six sided, and thats all, plus the build doesnt look very solid.
Everyone turns to slashdot, including my self, to look for new innovations and ideas. This article on the other hand, was more like comparing physical state of a chemical. Something going from Gas to Liquid to Solid is simple, it can be done by everyone, such as in this case a simple box computer is put in a multi-sided case. What would have been really nice is if it had something more to offer, such as some interesting ways of displaying the stats of the system, a easy way to add and remove components, and so on.
This is truly a childs play article, probably the most hollow of them I have seen.

Hopefully they will unveil this before Quakecon in August.
Since its not iD, wonder if they will take the opposite approach iD took for Doom III to where everyone will be saying "LOL, Quake IV is bright!".
Only a matter of time before we find out how raven does.

Live sat imagery feeds is what I am really waiting for. (or at least more frequent scans)
BTW - Science that contridicts the laws of science is not science; for example, The theory of evolution contridicts the Laws of Thermodynamics!!!
Would you mind elaborating on this more?

its almost as if its "r e c u r s i v e"
compression has limits, and what you just said is not really realistic.
In this case, percentage numbers would make sense.

Jules? shouldnt that be JOULES...
Or am I mistaken that there is infact a unit called Jules?
School kids hacking?
Thats blasphemy!
I am afraid too much star wars and it might kill the interest of it completley.
Then again some might argue that you can never have too much star wars.
3d Porn, two streams comming in 300 MBps, you can use one of the new 3d monitors. It will be the closest they will ever come to the real thing
...Pathetic indeed.

Ha, at least its not late.
