This is a bit creepy, but a guy has replaced an eye with a camera. Rob lost his eye in a shooting accident (which, while certainly serious, is still getting off lucky CONSIDERING HE WAS IN A SHOOTING ACCIDENT INVOLVING HIS FACE), and the last time we saw him had a red LED eyeball. Now he has a video camera.
Timbot sent in this WSJ article about how to kill HP in a year. Never mind the years of effort H-P spent -- including a controversial merger with Compaq -- becoming the world's largest PC maker. Never mind that the PC business feeds H-P's more profitable businesses. Dumping it is a beautiful absurdity that one analyst, Jayson Noland of Robert W. Baird & Co., described as "like McDonald's getting out of the hamburger business."
Mike Nash is a Brisbane-based game character designer, and his latest work is freakin' amazing. Those are renders, not sculptures. I think. Finished up some new personal work, I created a initial concept in Z-brush then rebuilt in XSI and rendered in V-Ray. There's a fair few renders, be sure to check out the rest in the Gallery. Update: Apparently there are some NSFW images in the gallery, so be warned!
BlueRaven spotted this USB stick PC running Q3. Here’s something to liven up your weekend: a video of the Raspberry Pi running Quake 3. We’re still working on ironing a few kinks out (specifically, there seems to be a library issue which means our framerate, while good, isn’t quite as spectacular as we know it can be; we’re working on it as I post this) – but this is what test boards are for, and we’re making great progress getting the boards running smoothly. Discussion here.
Wikileaks released some cables last week, including one from Canberra saying that the NBN will increase online piracy. The comment came in a cable reporting the outcome of the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft's (AFACT's) Federal Court case against iiNet. AFACT failed to convince the Federal Court in February 2010 that iiNet had authorised its users' copyright infringement by failing to pass on notices provided by AFACT. In the cable, it is noted that as a result of the loss, AFACT would increase pressure on the government to make law changes.
