They did this with the Nintendo DSi back in 2009.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5QSclrIdlE&feature=player_embedded
The game is available in the DSi Ware Store (called Looksley's Line Up). It�s quite funny because the changing of the perspective will reveal the solutions to each diorama and the effect is done quite well.
Back then when Nintendo announced that their next iteration would feature 3d I just thought that they would implement this form of "pseudo" 3d in every game. The problem in real life: You only get the 3d effect when you move your head or your device - So it�s the totally opposite concept of the stereoscopic screens like in the 3ds or some new android phones where you can only see the effect when you look straight on the device! You have to experience both - Funny thing: You can download the DSi game on the 3DS and play it there and afterwards some 3DS 3d game to really get the idea how the two techniques behave in real life. Obviously both have their advantages!
What would be impressive is some combination of the two: "Real" 3D imaging like on the 3ds combined with headtracking..
EDIT: Some of the problems with Jonny Lees awesome concepts: You can only do it alone, the effect doesn�t work if more people are staring at the tv, and it isn�t possible with movies it�s only possible with real time rendered objects! As you can see the stadium at the end is totally flat, as opposed to how the stadium would look like with glasses and shot with a 3d camera.
But after getting my 3ds last week (together with PES 2011) I have to conclude that the 3d of the 3ds is better and more impressive even though my eyes start to hurt after playing for an hour or so..
Because they achieved this game with the DSi (133 Mhz ARM) I don�t think that it taxes the cpu very much..
Wow. Slightly laggy, but the 3d effect was really impressive.
Regarding the 3d effect on he 3ds, does the screen have like slanted pixels that are each angled a different way? Or does it work?
It would be really neat to see a combination of a 3d screen, gyroscope/accelerometer, and head tracking for 3d on mobile/portable/desktop display.

@Vghty I'd really like to thank you for your latest post. I'm finding it more and more difficult to keep track of all my sources as my research progresses. I find it difficult to adapt to new methods, which is probably why I still just keep all my saved PDFs in a folder and have to go hunting down the one I need. It's not always convenient and I've only just gotten used to using Microsoft Word's bibliography tool, which is decent. They need to have more native support for different formats (some of us use Harvard instead of the ones listed). I've had to find other formats online and plug them into the Microsoft User folder. This brings me to a question about Bookends. Does it have support for multiple referencing/citation formats? Is Harvard one of them? That will really help me make my decision about whether or not to purchase it. I'm trying Zotero right now (they've just released a standalone version that doesn't require Firefox). Thanks for the info!

of course theres no ipad coming out in september. Most people who want an ipad 2 wan't get it until around may or later. That only gives people 4 months of the ipad 2. FAIL is what that would be. You don't need a rumor to guess that.

In OSX, there's no way to disable the paging file (virtual memory). This is a real problem is if you have an SSD, because half the memory is allocated on the hard drive. That means your SSD will be toast in a few years. It doesn't matter how much stuff you have open (how much memory is allocated). The operating system is always writing memory to the hard drive. Does that seem counter-productive? When you open an app, the whole point is for it to be accessible in real time, right? And you don't want it destroying your SSD slowly over time!?
In Windows 7, you can disable the paging file, and all your memory can be allocated in physical memory. It's nice just to have the option. Apple, however, loves to hide these little details, so they force you too use whatever primary hard drive for virtual memory allocation, even if it's an SSD with a questionable life span, or even an HDD.
And the argument that you don't use more than 4GB of RAM, ever, is ridiculous! Maybe you're not commanding the system to by opening a bunch of apps, but the SYSTEM will be!
Yes. In Windows, if you go over the physical RAM amount and the paging file is turned off, you'll BSOD. But if you have enough RAM, you won't! Unless you run multiple VMs or several games at once, this won't be a problem.
Apple needs to allow users to decided whether they want a paging file, especially with the cost of SSDs. If one dies and it's not on warranty, it's not a good day. And I'm more than ready to blame it on virtual memory allocation.

I would love for it to encompass all iTunes media purchases, including movies and TV shows as well. I'm feeling a crunch with the drives in my Macs filling up with content very quickly. I wish Apple just kept track of what I "own" and let me play it based on a license that floats in the cloud. Should be doable right?
Amen. I have more than my Mac and external drives can hold.

Laptops have always been a compromise, and thus the choice has always come down to personal preference. Please stop arguing that one is better than the other, because as some of us have been trying to tell you, you'd be wrong.
I have no idea what kind of point you think you are making to this thread. Nobody has ever argued that laptops aren't a compromise. You seemed to argue earlier that some will always hate the 11" (for example no matter how much resolution it will be bad). I made the point that depending on what exactly the tradeoff is (storage versus resolution, etc...) that this will change who wants the 11" and doesn't.
If you are going to argue a point, you should actually have a point to make in mind. I have no idea what you think you are trying to say here. You're trying to say it's personal preference? Of course! Nobody here has ever said there is only one "right" answer.

One new giant data center building does not make a video streaming service or even a "cloud". Netflix relies on a distributed content delivery system like Akamai. When you watch a movie on Netflix the stream may come to you from a number of source points - and not always the closest one physically. Netflix tries to figure out which delivery point will stream you the content the fastest with the least interruptions. Sometimes when you are watching a streamed movie it will "adjust" the transmission when it sees the delivery slowing down. It may reconnect you to a server that is responding faster, and has less latency. Right now with the iPad2 out, the financial analysts and the web rumor mongers are struggling because they don't have any current solid info on what Steve has up his sleeve next. Until Steve announces "one more thing" I am not holding my breath. Whatever they do, I sure hope I never hear Steve use the overworked, over-hyped, meaningless word "cloud" when referring to an Apple product. The "cloud" was around long before some marketing yahoo decided to call it that.

This is just awesome. I am so excited by the developers really utilizing the hardware.

Hey I studied at Princeton and it was a pretty impressive place. However, when i was there macintosh was a foreign word. That was only a few years ago.
What bugs me is that I am now at Oxford, which by the way is number two or three in the world, that Macs are under represented. In fact there is no store, virtual or otherwise in the whole of Oxford!!!!!:confused: How smart is that????:eek:
How about a nice big juicy shop on High Street!!!!! Or even next to the Bodleian!!!
Bring it on apple :cool:
There is a virtual store: apple.procureweb.ac.uk
tbh Oxford (when I was at the uni in the summer) has quite a few Mac users, probably 10% of the researchers were Mac-users, at least compared to Warwick Uni, but they aren't terribly Mac-friendly.
Oxford blatantly needs an Apple Store, they'd get lots more Mac users if their was one.

Is it as sporadic as it looks at 11am in my town? It does look like it could give details on any street, though. That would be better than the FM traffic or even the DOT/camera based traffic used for most things. Esp during road construction when side streets with no other data accumulation become thoroughfares for the summer.
they have had crowd sourced apps that do this in the app store. they were useless. and i'm not going to send data to the crowd database while i'm driving with my kids in the car. illegal and dangerous

if they do that, and add the ability to share bookmarks across multiple accounts, ie share bookmarks via .mac. i would love it, because i have more than one computer.
You can already sync Safari bookmarks (as well as calendars, mail accounts, contacts, keychains etc) through .mac.
Check out System Prefs/.mac/sync

HAHAH.. Israel should be a CHRISTIAN STATE and abolish their tyrannical government and be a true light unto the nations..
Riiiight. And how, may i ask, do you suggest that will happen? First you want to give it back to the palestinians (who are mostly not christian), and now you want to make it a christian state. make up your mind buddy. If it were a christian state you would still have to take the land from the palestinians.

wtf is exactly what i've been saying for a while.
I've owned every iPhone, and every new iPhone running X.0, runs beautifully, only to be slowed down and negatively effected by every single interim update.
One thing that i learned with Apple. Never update to a major os versions from factory.

this sounds pretty cool. is it possible to do this and keep a sturdy product? correct me if im wrong but i thought they moved away from the moving wheel (1G ipod) to the touch wheel because it was less moving parts. very cool and innovative. i hope this is something that gets used and knowing apple they will use it well!
