Submission + - Stallman's Hypocrisy

TheAmigo writes: If Richard Stallman is such a friend of freedom why was he recently in Cuba attending a conference hosted by Ramiro Valdez, Cuba's "spanking new minister of information and technology", as reported by Newsmax.

This was a position he inherited when his chum Ernesto "Che" Guevara was promoted from Cuba's chief executioner to minister of the economy, where he murdered the Cuban economy as efficiently as he had murdered hundreds of defenseless Cuban men (and boys.)"
My favorite part of the article: "Here's a fanatic for free information flow accepting accolades from a regime that jails the most journalist per capita on planet earth."

While this technology has been around for some years now (and has seen Slashdot fame before), it has the potential to significantly increase immersion in interactive 3D games and applications at a moderate cost. This YouTube video shows off the latest TrackIR's capabilities.
