Steam Prompts OS X Graphics Update 313

Stoobalou writes "Mac gamers got a massive boost when online gaming hub Steam started supporting the platform a few months ago. The arrival of the online service, which allowed Mac-toting gamers to play some of the same games as their PC brethren, in some cases cross-platform, created a great deal of debate between the two camps, with the PC crowd pillorying Mac fans for the relatively poor performance of their expensive hardware. Now it seems that Apple has gotten the message, as they have provided a graphics update for OS X Snow Leopard which will make progress toward closing the gap between the two platforms."

No, but you get to drive a remote controlled UAV and drop bombs on a bunch of kids in afghanistan, all from the comfort of your desk.

kkleiner writes "ARMAR, or Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Repair, is a head mounted display unit that provides graphic overlays to assist you in making repairs. An Android phone provides an interface to control the graphics you view during the process. Published in IEEE, and recently tested with the United States Marine Corps on an armored turret, ARMAR can cut maintenance times in half by guiding users to the damaged area and displaying 3D animations to demonstrate the appropriate tools and techniques."

I don't think you dispelled anything. I believe you got pwned.

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Author and Inventors..."

What part of this quote says the rights can be transferred away from the author or inventor (to a 3rd party distributor such as a record company for example)? What part of this deals with the simple concept of fair use of media?

Please look back at your n00bish point 1 and reconsider it.

Article X: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people"

The people get the benefit of the doubt. Govt's role stays limited. That is and always was the intent. Now forming laws that effectively allow for the indefinite stay of copyright as it relates to a person's lifetime circumvents the original intent and deserves to go the way of the Dodo. Dodo.
