At last! Some common sence! sorry but that's all I got to say, and that's all there's to say. Opposing nuclear power was and still is un-understandable from nature lovers.
I thought it would be something cool like the glasses had a HUD showing the waveform it is hearing.
Oh yeah! Imagine a HUD in the glasses displaying a real-time logarithmically scaled spectrogram of the sound, and that somehow you would have learn to understand what people say from looking at it, that'd be awesome. The main problem is that even if you could do that, it would be quite hard concentrating on a spectrogram that would block your sight and do anything else at the same time.
If you confess to a crime in a public place, then yes, the cops have every right to open a case against you.
If so, how come gangster rappers who often relate their drug businesses in songs don't get busted more often than that? cops don't listen to gangster rap?
Sorry for being slightly off-topic, but maybe someone could at last answer me this. When you see a Mac on TV, you see Mac OS, whether it's classic like in Sex & The City and Independance Day or OS X like in um... can't think of any. Anyways whenever you see a PC, not only it's never Windows' GUI, but it's never KDE, GNOME or even Black/Open/Flushbox.
So, why do you see either Mac GUI's or totally fake GUI's, and then, since you never see the same fake GUI's, is there some kind of GUI-creating industry in Hollywood? I'm not even asking about the funny lil sounds that goes with them because for these they don't bother creating them, they just take them from Deus Ex
I only hope this is not too off-topic. Something funny happened yesterday. Well I got several PC's in my house, but my 16 year old sister's is the only one with SSE2 and SSE3, so I've been plugin an unused hard disk into it a couple of weeks ago and installed Mac OS 10.4.5. I have some issues with it, some stuff isn't recognized well, mainly the graphic card and so the screen's refresh rate is stuck at 60 Hz (on a CRT, it's a pain in the eyes), and on it, there's hardly anything but Firefox
But yesterday, I had the great surprise to see my sister sitting at her computer, she had just played with Mac OS X a little and she just told me she wished to use Mac OS X as her main OS, to put eMule on Mac OS X and that she'd boot into Windows only to play games. I mean come on, she played with it for barely 1 hour, there's pretty much nothing installed, the monitor refresh rate is stuck at 60 Hz and after years of use of Windows she wants to give it up so quick for an OS she has played with for a real short time?
That was definitly surprising, I think it only illustrates how seductive a Macintosh can be, and now that you can boot Windows in it, it's only making it safer to buy a Macintosh without wondering if you're doing the right choice. The only problem I see is that people would need to mess around with Mac OS X for at least a little while before being seduced, but damn, if they can be convinced as fast as my 16-year old sister and feel safe about buying a Mac over a PC, Apple's market share is ready to double.
How about out fucking side... wtf you think, I don't live in New York City, I live in a small french village. Outside, it's all about cows and elderly people.
Exactly, the site is kind of fucked up, it makes Firefox crash every ten profiles I visit, but damn, what better spot than that is there to make yourself a better substitute of a social life?
Everybody's there! from your favorite singer to your classmates to the Playboy model/pornstar you jacked off to last night!
OK, there you get your baby, but, it's only a bot right? It's not a player who would "spawn" as a baby? (I know, the answer lies within TFA, but who will dare to go...)
What I mean is that it's kind of dumb, it's all about people interacting with people, and you're gonna "raise" a damn Tamagochi? It should at least be children SLers spawning as babies...
This game definitly had great graphics, I'd even say, memorable graphics, but there's something that distrubed me last time I played it.
Besides the time it took me to find out how to find out of water, or how to slowly smash the lil black worms, this game is like, either try to find out by yourself what you gotta do, or follow a walkthrough and do what you're told to do. It's like it's not a game, it's more like you're watching a show and you gotta find which buttons to press to get to the next scene. That's how it felt to me
No wait... seriously, if it weren't for games, I'm not sure but I think I would have switched to FreeBSD 6.0, and even upgraded my box to a Mac OS X capable box with an ATI card.
These are rear-projection type screens, not front, so there's no shadow.
Wait, are we talking about the same thing as in the video? The projection is coming from the top, and gets projected on people's arms, and under their arms is nothing but the shade.
While it's kind of cool, the one thing that disappointed me is that it was based on projection and not a screen. Regardless of the costs and technical challenge it may cause, projection over a backlit LCD screen has the big disadvantage of having undisplayed areas (where your shadow is) and although it doesn't seem like a problem in the demonstartion video, I see it as limitating the comfort of this whole thing.
As far as I am aware, we know a lot less about the surface of Venus than we do about the surface of Mars or say, Mercury, or even Pluto
Wrong:-) (I love that word).
We know very well the topography of Venus, we have sent a shitload of probes that have landed on Venus and sent panoramas of it, we know only about 46% of the surface of Mercury, only one probe has been sent near it and that was in 1974, and as for Pluto, we have extremely low resolution maps of it and never been there yet. Matter of fact we know mostly any big moon of the solar system better than Mercury and Pluto put together, even arguably Triton
If we were to sort planets by our knowledge of them, I will rank them this way : Moon, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Mercury, Pluto
Well, there's this funny looking key between "Alt" and "Ctrl" on my USB keyboard that doesn't seem to do anything under OSX....
lol, actually it will act as the Command key (aka the Apple key) which is placed right next the space bar, as the alt key will act as the alt key, although on macs it is placed between the Ctrl key and the Command key
Yeah, but considered how the whale is not in the rocket but behind/under it, rather than a whale it's a huge piece of coal that'll land/crash on the moon:). But that's still a good quality/price ratio
The eternal question about Apple is if they're a software company or a hardware company... and when it comes down to it, I think they'll choose hardware.
I think both are wrong, Apple is not a software company, or a hardware company, but an experience company, period.
Their goal is to sell you a great and unique computing experience, not just great software or great hardware, just a great experience.

That's quite surprising that it's only happening now. In France, it's been for years that you can't phone while driving without a hands-free kit.

oh yeah, makes more sence than bothering creating fully functional GUI's, mostly that alot of what we see could hardly work the way it seems

lol, for once I see someone posting as AC with a good reason.
The article isn't, but for you to know, you would have to RTFA ;-). The post says it's planning, but the article doesn't. The poster just got it wrong.
I'm afraid you got it wrong, dude, they're not planning, it's already there.
Now if posters don't even read their own articles... ;-)
Wrong :-) (I love that word).

Yeah, but the command key will act as it, although it's in the wrong place
lol, actually it will act as the Command key (aka the Apple key) which is placed right next the space bar, as the alt key will act as the alt key, although on macs it is placed between the Ctrl key and the Command key
riiiiight. lol
