Now we can finally get rid of all those meddling proxies and exit nodes!

Damn those enemy combatant hacker-terrorists polluting the RAIN-clouds and causing your PVR to miss recordings!

I have some contacts for setting up servers their, I haven't a clue how good they would be for something like Wikileaks. International Law is a out of my field.

Are you kidding, someone moderated this as Troll !!!
I certainly never intended to be negative about anyone or thing, just that it's a hard problem.

I friend of mine (former CEO of a startup I founded) asked me to write one.

He called and kept offering more each time. I actually spent some time investigating this and decided that it was a good way to give my self a stroke.

It's hard enough implementing and getting things right when you know what to do, with 2D to 3D there isn't even a clear algorithmic method to use, few papers and no examples of a good automated conversion. DDD seems about the best.

I must admit I've seen some decent human with software assist do a surprising good job but even that isn't nearly as good as a 3D camera or rendering CGI direct in to 3D.

This is just the next generation of Transparent OLED's that I have already posted about.

Here is my post from CES:

It's truly amazing what having to think before you speak can accomplish.

If I remember correctly he was stuck on some long discontinued TI speech synthesis chip. I remember the initial story when they first did it in particular because I also was playing with a similar part at the time in High School.
Finding parts and people has to be getting difficult.

At the same time I can completely understand him not wanting to upgrade his system, from the GUI he's used very successful for 25 years or Voice that has now become that trademark of Steven Hawking's.

Well I am thinking we should be able to emulate that whole system including the speech syntheses. Worst case it can be done as a series of recordings from the original chip.

Maybe do it as a Kickstarter project or something, do the whole thing open source. Surely there must be others with this problem.

I can imaging upgrading him to AR goggles with eye tracking, that's all off the shelf today. Then in to a little Mini PC or ARM board, and nothing but software.

With something like that we should be good till we get direct brain interfaces and quantum computing wrist watches in another 25 years, if he still even needs it.

I interviewed with them down in Santa Monica maybe 4 years back. They had hired the WinAmp guys and they were working on a media player with HTML integration in it. It really didn't seem like all that good of an idea.

HTML 5 Makes most of that obsolete and most of what I see people doing like Apps, Flash, download players etc.

To be honest, I only have a Yahoo Account just for IM and have never even looked to see what they are doing with Music these days.

I still think the Original Napster was the best service, if there were such a service for a flat rate I'd be a happy camper.

Mod this up.

The Tsunami that is the Internet has washed over industry after industry as it's speed and reliability has improved. TV now finds itself the next set of businesses suddenly knee deep in an ocean of rising cheap bandwidth. How will they fair compared to their fellow media companies that lived a little lower down in bandwidth requirements such as the newspapers, music labels, and telephone companies?

Now toss in Moore's law and how I have a camera in my phone that can shoot HD video and edit and distribute and do a better job then I ever could 15 years back with $20K worth of gear.

Change will be coming.

Internet Video has been my life's work.
I write a blog on this http://www.videotechnology.com/

Oh please, Flash vs. HTML is nonsense. There are some real issues at hand here, like who controls the software that we live on.
