Sadly, it's why I stopped watching Dark Angel. It was the Car-Car Binks of Post-Apocalyptic Seattle.

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.

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.

While the Xbox and PS3 try to be a media center being able to play DVDs and Bluerays the Wii focuses on being a gaming platform for the masses.
Submission + - 20 Reasons Not to Run BioShock DX10 over DX9
ThinSkin writes: "After learning about a 20 frames-per-second penalty for running DX10 instead of DX9 in BioShock, Joel Durham Jr. over at ExtremeTech thought it would be a good idea to compare the image quality differences of BioShock DX10 vs. DX9. Long story short: There is no difference. From the article: "BioShock is turning out to be an engrossing and downright fun shooter. DirectX 10, in the meantime, is turning out to be a non-issue. If you decided to play in DirectX 9 for the sake of performance, you're really not missing much at all.""
