Tokyo game show
I have got to time my next visit to Japan so I can go to one of these events. Even a car show would be fun.

Your music has never looked this beautiful
These are like a combination of 30’s Flash Gordon technology meets high tech chromed espresso machines. Simply beautiful functional art.
Post Aligned Bistable Nematic (PABN) LCD on the horizon
New display ‘as clear as a glossy magazine’
Category of “telling us what they are going to do,” but the general principle that displays will some day be dirt cheap enough for me to be able to buy my kids video based toys (GI Joe Vision! See what Joe sees!) for under $20 is an important one.

Mac update
After many hours of booting, re-booting, re-setting the CUDA, different hard drives, and loads of swearing, the G3 has OS X on it. Thank you, thank … I t hink the memory I was using was bad (Apple bad is still PC good, annoying), but it could have been anything.
Its faster than my desktop Mac but not by much. Next step is to see if I can add another IDE hard drive to it.
