Yes, but only if you rapidly alternated blinking your eyes. Much like those fancy 3D glasses nowadays, except ET achieved it by sucking so bad it induced seizures.
Transformers Special Edition Chevy Camaro Unveiled 299
roelbj writes "Automotive stories are few and far between on Slashdot, but today's news from Chevrolet might just make a few readers' mouths water at the chance to own their own Bumblebee. Today at Comic-Con, General Motors officially announced the 2010 Chevy Camaro Transformers Special Edition. The $995 appearance package can be applied to LT (V6) and SS-trim Camaros in Rally Yellow with or without the optional RS package."
Windows 7 Hits RTM At Build 7600.16385 341
An anonymous reader links to Ars Technica's report that (quoting) "Microsoft today announced that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 have hit the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) milestone. The software giant still has a lot of work to do, but the bigger responsibility now falls to OEMs that must get PCs ready, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) that are testing their new apps, and Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs) that are preparing their new hardware. The RTM build is 7600, but it is not the same one that leaked less than two weeks ago (7600.16384). We speculated that Microsoft may end up recompiling build 7600 until it is satisfied, but it only took the company one more shot to get it right: 7600.16385 is the final build number. Microsoft refused to share the full build string, but if you trust leaks from a few days ago, it's '6.1.7600.16385.090713-1255,' which indicates that the final build was compiled over a week ago: July 13, 2009, at 12:45pm. This would be in line with the rumored RTM date but it is also the day Microsoft stated that Windows 7 had not yet hit RTM. Although the final build had been compiled, Microsoft still had to put it through testing before christening it as RTM."

Since we already have white LED's, I'd guess the real benefit is the ability to easily fine-tune the colors by adjusting the coating.

They are the awesome mices. Regular mice kill my wrists in a minute; with the VM I can code all day.
Added bonus: it's weird & confusing to those who aren't used to it, so people actively avoid your computer.

What would really help would be a VM that would JIT... Dalvik works but is not speedy -- it remains an interpreter. All it really needs is some JIT compilation to take off. Yes, you could do native stuff using the new NDK, but with like 18 announced phones coming out by year-end, I'd rather not get stuck writing custom code for each CPU.
