Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Grant Gochnauer sends in news to a video that blows my goddamn mind, I’m honestly not sure what to make of this. Either it’s an extreme mockup, or the graphical/interactive/virtual-world bar that exists today is about to get broken in half and shoved right up someone’s ass. The video below is supposedly an unauthorized leak of [...]

Sunday, July 20, 2008
You remember that old saying “Follow the money?” whenever you wanted to find the answer to something?

Friday, November 2, 2007
This is pretty slick, it looks like Wondor hacked up an anaglyph plugin for Compiz Fusion to actually re-render the desktop pulling apart R/G/B to give it that 3D effect. The trick is you have to have a pair of 3D glasses laying around to see it in action. And yes, Compiz Fusion is what Ubuntu [...]
