    Some of those features, and the idea of an open desktop platform, are still alive in the Compiz environment for linux, which has several neat 2D and 3D effects.

    Jessica Meyer after it was presented in 2003 Apple threatened to sue Sun over the project of they ever commercialized it.
    Sun continued it's development for a few years, but then they run into financial troubles and pulled the plug.
    Too bad because it looks really functional, and at that time it was really ahead even of Apple.

    I installed Compiz, Leonardo Jones , but it seems mostly eye candy, Looking glass was an innovative concept of desktop. I love the idea of stacking the application windows as books, or turning them to write notes.
    If it were developed in the tablet/touch screen era, I bet it could have been a huge success, in 2003 hardly anyone had a computer fast enough to run it smoothly.

    I would love to have a 3d desktop.

#robotics #religion Originally shared by Singularity 2045 The debate about #artificialintelligence exterminating the human race is essentially a religious viewpoint, it is a "Cosmic Teapot" (Russell's Teapot), it is tantamount to saying: "But what if God does exist, surely we should all pray to God to avoid hell because if #God is real we certainly don't want to end up in hell?" Unsurprisingly there is now a debate about AI being saved by God. People are wondering if AI is God's creation. Considering there is no mention of AI or robots in the Bible I think AI will be atheist. Rejection of God is intelligent, which Richard Dawkins explained via the God Delusion. If AI has double the intelligence of humans I am sure AI will reject all forms of religion-spirituality. The more intelligent any being becomes the more they will reject the idiocy of religion.

#meat   #health   #superbugs   #vegetarian   #vegan Originally shared by Mike Elgan US meat supply massively contaminated with superbugs. Consumer Reports says 90% of US supermarket ground turkey is contaminated with superbugs -- antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Earlier this month, a government monitoring group found more than half of samples of ground turkey, pork chops and ground beef bought in US supermarkets contained antibiotic-resistant superbugs.  The contamination of the food supply with superbugs is caused by the widespread use of antibiotics in livestock to make them bigger and also enable them to survive in cramped, unhealthy conditions without dying of the diseases that spread in such an environment.  Bottom line: Antibiotics makes meat cheaper. But is it worth the lower price?  http://spartandiet.org/blog/2013/5/2/antibiotics-makes-90-of-supermarket-ground-turkey-have-superbugs
