I've read the paper and I'd like to see the video the article talks about, but if I go to their site http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/vsv/ I only find a 'recursive' press release that points to the same URL to see the example video...

It was just matter of time, the first reviews of windows 8 were mainly from tech magazines/blog that need to keep their microsoft advertising revenue, now more and more real users are finding how painful is to use this two faced operative system. Apple approached the "touch world" with a new OS that share only some API foundations with OSX, while Microsoft touched only the "surface" of the problem, trying to adapt is best horse (windows 7) to the "touch world"... The result is awful, trying to use office on a RT tablet for a few minutes is enough to see how bad it is their tablet solution.... and the amount of "start menu tools" and "corner sensitivity remover" for the desktop version show how bad the metro interface is in a mouse/keyboard enviroment....

Is slashdot funded by M$? :) I see no other reason this "article" should stay in first page!

Please remove this post, the lamest programmer in the world will be able to avoid this "infection", as said by a lot of people QR codes contain binary datas or strings. I think this is a tabloid level post, an insult to slashdot users.

I'm quite sure that if adblock plus will change this way it will loose part of his userbase... for instance for chrome there are at least two ad blockers (adblock - chromeaddblock.com, and adblockplus - addblockplus.org)

Don't update your VLC if you have OSX 10.4.x (or 10.3.9). VLC dropped 10.4 support for "technical reasons" in 1.0.0rc2, the newer version that works on 10.4 is 0.9.9a.

The comic pages in the /. link are partially slashdotted...

Google has posted an official (fast) link for it:
