    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.

    There was another similar project called Metisse, but it seems inactive too.
    I would love to have a 3d desktop.

Exactly!

Exactly! Since I got my Note 10.1 end of last year I don't use notebooks, diaries, agendas nor do I print .pdfs anymore =) It feels so clean and organized not having loads of paper on your desk and always being able to access all of your notes and files everywhere.. ;) Give it a try! I'm also not buying printed books anymore, we already carry lots of things with us in our homes, imagine the space and trees you would save if all of your books were digital.. I can see a much more spacious house!

#artificialintelligence   Originally shared by Gideon Rosenblatt Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence I just hit the publish button on this one, and I think it may be one of my better articles in a while. It's an attempt at a bigger perspective on what's happening with things like Deep Learning (and other forms of machine learning and artificial intelligence), as well as Google's Knowledge Graph and even its "Knowledge Vault ." In this piece, I try to explain how these new technologies fit together. I also try to show how  these latest breakthroughs are still part of a long arch in human history, a continuation of our efforts to pull tacit knowledge from the biology of our minds and bodies and embed it as explicit knowledge into a new container.  I hope you enjoy this one. I enjoyed writing it.  #knowledge   #knowledgegraph   #artificialintelligence   #knowledgevault   People I believe might be interested in this one because of past comments or posts: D...

Sensationalism against robots..

Sensationalism against robots.. Originally shared by Wayne Radinsky A security robot was "put to work in San Francisco in an attempt to deter homeless people from forming tent cities." But it had to stop because the City of San Francisco ordered the robot off the sidewalks. "Knightscope's robots don't fight humans; they use equipment like lasers, cameras, a thermal sensor, and GPS to detect criminal activity and alert the authorities." "The robot's owner, the San Francisco SPCA, said it has seen fewer tents and car break-ins since it deployed the robot in the city's Mission neighborhood." http://www.businessinsider.com/security-robots-are-monitoring-the-homeless-in-san-francisco-2017-12
