But of course I'm not even fooling myself, this WILL BE decided based on lobbyists and how willing we voters are to believe that all taxes are evil things that only hurt us.

Decided by lobbyists, yes. However, taxes are not evil. Those in charge who insist on operating on deficit budgets might be.

You don't remember Sony talking about this very feature at E3 when when announcing the PS3? SONY even cared then.

I suppose it is too much to hope that Sony would say something about this sore subject at a press conference. I wonder if anyone is going to try and bring it up at E3...

Entitled? Who do you think you are surrounded by? I want my $0.00000004 cents back, and all the rest of you should to. Entitled to my moneys. Communists.

Bob Barr in Oregon FTW? No, not in this RedBlue state. But my vote at least changed the demographic for my district. The next time local policies come up, I (tried to) help shift the direction.

3D Web Browser Draws Lukewarm Review 218

Posted by timothy on Thursday September 18, 2008 @02:42PM from the how-your-browser-views-a-sphere dept.

GreyGoo writes "The media release claims 'Internet surfers will be able to walk through their favourite websites as if they are characters in a computer game with the launch of the world's first 3D browser in Australia today.' However a review from someone who has actually tested the software raises important questions about the worth of the product considering the competing social and 3D products, and that sites have to be hand-crafted in order to truly support the new browser." A browser tied to a social networking scheme seems like a recipe for supreme annoyance.
