Yes. I have checked out a few including team viewer, but Zolved is just perfect. I use it when I have to do support calls with really non technical people. Works like a charm.

If they were going to do this, I would suggest using Blender instead. Its open source and every bit as good as Maya 3D studio etc (From what I have read) Granted I have not used Maya myself, but look at what the pro's can do with blender http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/gallery/art-gallery/

Glowing Mosquitos Aid Malaria Battle 78

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Tuesday October 11, 2005 @12:42AM from the just-happy-to-see-me dept.

kfz.versicherung writes "The glowing mosquitos were created by attaching a gene for fluorescence found in jellyfish to a gene expressed only in a male mosquito's sexual organs. Even if this sounds funny, this technique is used to collect all males which are then sterilized and released in areas plagued by malaria flies. While sterile female mosquito can still transmit malaria, the sterile males will mate with the females but produce no offspring, so the insect population drops. An automated machine, capable of sorting 18,000 larvae per hour, detects fluorescence inside the larvae and a puff of air will divert the males into a separate area."
