Yea... where is the squeezably soft nanotube toilet paper.
"Protect Your Ass."
considering that my neighbors are all upstanding, law-abiding citizens, I'd be thrilled if they all carried AKs.
Yeah, because the freaks who snap and kill their families or random innocents were all identified by their neighbors as being "loud troublemakers with long criminal histories".
It compresses remarkably well, though.
That's because "pulled her braid" and "smoothed her skirts" comprise 47% of the content.
...mimicking mainframes from the 80s with the ability to cool and keep a quad core beast at home with a terabyte of storage mirrored across two drives...
Oh my. The irony!
That's like saying the Grand Canyon mimics a crack in a sidewalk. Legacy dudes are saying "I wish!" in chorus.
Anyway, those are my two principle complaints.
If only you had written:

The problem is that your monitor is still in two dimensions- so what benefit do you get with a 3d interface that you constantly need to translate back in to 2 dimensions?
I don't completely disagree with you, but you must consider that what we meat-spacers generally experience *visually* as 3-dimensions is actually just a stereoscopic 2D image. Tie you to a chair with your arms bound, and that's really all there is to experience.
I wear glasses that are smaller than my visual range, thus a ring of blur constitutes my peripheral vision. I am, if you would entertain it a moment, viewing the world through a "screen". The fact that objects at distance "react" 3-dimensionally to my eye/head movements is just a control problem... given the right interface and feedback, I could be fooled quite readily.
However, the 3D desktop concept can and will be done well some day. I hope/hoped someone besides Apple pull it off though. They tend to take the arms-tied-to-your-sides concept too literally.
Confirmation on that, chief. $60 is more than $4.
Unless, of course, the two dollar signs are from different currencies...
Happiness is twin floppies.
