Aha! I've been doing those 3 & 4 finger gestures accidentally. Nifty tricks when they're on purpose.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Connecting Win7 to somebody else network wasn't unpleasant. So far, Win7 with mostly GNU open source software is fine. One more connection at M & C place to try.

Even if it's faked, this "leaked" video of an Apple Tablet is pretty awesome: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
World's first 3D office photocopier launches
Ortery has launched a new office machine called 'Photosimile' or what it claims to be the world's first 3D product photography machine.
Photosimile is effectively a photocopier that creates virtual 3D replicas of whatever small artifact you like. Or animal (providing they sit still while the machine spins them around 360 degrees, that is!).
...
Ortery's Photosimile 5000 is now shipping at a cost of around US$17000 (£10550).
I think I'll wait for the price to come down a bit....

Hook it up to one of HP's new 3-D printers and you have a replicator. Okay, the replicas are all just plastic, but who doesn't plastic replicas of small artifacts?

Some blog (I think it's Make Magazine) has had a series of posts about a 3-D printer that's available as a kit. I think it's around $1000, considerably cheaper than the $15,000 for the HP 3-D printer....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Must have. Now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
