Doing multiple passes with slightly different camera settings is becoming more common, but you would only use it with something like the NVidia 3D system, or any other 3D display technology. You would never use it to do something like this

I know what the problem is... After seeing some of the pictures of the people who got that letter, I'm pretty convinced they gave it to the bottom half.

I work with 3D displays and my company has had a number of porn studios approach us to partner to do 3D porn. Personally I'm not against the idea, but I guess because of some of our other partners we don't want to be seen associating with

Never thought I'd say it, but I'm gonna miss Rogers when I go to the states - $30 for 6 GB + free tethering.

How are you finding out people's IQs to put them in these "good work ethic, quick learner", "poor work ethic, slow learner" buckets?

Yeah I kinda groaned when I saw they were making this, but saw Shatner is playing the dad and now I'm excited.

I seem to remember a while ago there was a program featured on - maybe Slate - that had a much more impressive output, but I think it was actually played by a human and just written by a computer.

Why do you need to be able to build apps for this?

I guess Apple has some level of hardware acceleration going on with Safari 4... Browser flip is running at around 60 fps, the flickr app does slow down but not as severely as the video shows. The scrolling text doesn't really work at all
