Yep, both movies involved time travel.

Seems like augmented reality has been a popular research area in Australia for a while. At LCA a few years ago there was a presentation by another PhD student on his AR project and I even got to try out the gear (somewhat bulkier than this latest one though):

After meeting some of the people involved at FOSDEM this year I've joined the group buy for this device. It's a little on the expensive side, to be sure, but I joined not just because I would like the device itself but because I think they deserve support. It's pretty amazing that a small company such as theirs have been able to put together a working phone with most of the features you expect - sure it's not going to be the next iPhone killer, but it does have reasonable specs. I'm sure they had a lot of fun doing it as well, and I look forward to the opportunity to play with the hardware.

I'd encourage anyone who still has an older Neo1973 / Freerunner and who can spare the money to do the same.

Totally unsubstantiated claims. And FYI, porting something from Qt3 to Qt4 is not just a matter of switching libraries; painting among other things has to be done in a different way. This is one of the reasons why Plasma was written from scratch instead of porting Kicker in the first place.

Surely the easiest way to explain it is that it's the same as sending a letter. Once you've put it through the slot, it's on its way - it can't be pulled back.

Good lord. "Your CDFs" - really? Or do they actually belong to Wolfram?

Elngish, of course.

Nearly $500, and they still can't manage to put a locking tab protector on it.

You would probably be denied your insurance claim at the very least. It might not be liability, but it might at least be be "contributory negligence".
