It's good to see Neil out and about. He needs the exercise. :-)

Openness of APIs will not protect the content authors from the death of platforms. If VRML taught us anything, it taught us that the IP-unencumbered standard language is the author's only hope for keeping content alive. Today, VRML97 worlds created in 1997 when Neil joined still run today. No other 3D format can make that claim.

Collada is good for assets but Collada and X3D have more in common than any of the competing APIs.

So good for Khronos and a boy howdy salute to Neil, but the openness story has a sequel called life cycle: what happens after the opening. The only solution here that does not mean signing up for a plug-in sharecropper economy is the open standard language.

Since Neil wrote the participation agreements for the Web3D Consortium that guarantee that, I'm sure he understands the point even if it does not play well with current marketing strategies for the more entrenched plug-in vendors such as Adobe who are declaring victory as the de facto rendering standard through their surrogates.

Android is no Linux!
Please stop telling or misleading people to believe that Android has anything to do with a GNU/Linux distribution.

It's neither GPL, lacks GNU utilities, doesn't run standard C, hasn't glibc and it's Java Engine uses it's own bytecode.

Any provider or oem can extend, alter, limit android without being forced to tell about it. Those modifications can be closed and proprietary.

Android isn't open!
Android isn't free!
Android is no Linux!

A heads-up display would be much better. My Wii is a worthless paperweight in my room(a very expensive one) because I don't have a lot of room to move around.

If I had a heads-up display it would get a TON more use from me. And even with my $150/week income(I'm handicapped, but the $150 is the "mad money" amount left over after rent and food is paid for) a heads-up gaming device is worth about $2000 to me.

Someone please tell me it exists and I just don't know where to get it. I live in Arkansas, so that type of ignorance is totally plausible if it does exist.

(if it does, in fact, exist, my aol im name is jasongopher, so drop me a line. :) )

Because it wasn't in the list.

Needs more pictures of Sylvie, less of Neil Trevett.
