First Images of Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo Cabin

Virgin galactic is a spaceship/commercial aeronautic vehicle that is being designed to let ordinary people like you an me (well ones with $200,000 spare change) to travel to space and conduct “scientific” experiments (kiss in space? marriage in space? ahem … in space? **pervert**)

and I wanna get my ass off to space in just that … 3 days out of the earth! That will mean a lot less coding. Maybe I will come up with the first-ever “out of the world” open source software, or maybe even a yahoo widget or two!!

Now that’s a thought, maybe we should have a coder’s meet in orbit! I can apply for “work from orbit”. You wanna sponsor my trip?!

New technology could nip DVD format war in the bud

That is what someone needed to do, build an abstraction layer over the various DVD/DVD-like media so that as a consumer, when I am choosing between Star Wars and Star Tre, I don’t need to bother with the media type and the version etc..

Just let me but the disc and get home to watch on the blu-ray drive or at a friends place on HD-DVD drive.

Now, although it is a gross waste of disc space, it is still better that having to own multiple copies due to some corporate hangup!
