World Cup to be shown in 3D

The format is not the point .....

Geoof Hurst's goal in '66 is still spinechilling because of the sublime commentary ... it was 2D, low def and Black&White ... and more importantly, a very special moment.

3D will not make the use of the likes of Andy Gray whilst England go out in the Quarter Finals even remotely bearable ...

Right, I've read up on what he was hunting.

The guy is still a complete c*nt.

Better?

Also found it fascinating ....

But surely if you're aiming at layering stuff onto chips then it's the second layer that's hardest rather than the first?

Ballmer pumps Windows 7 up to thrifty customers

I'm with Peter 39

Surely the "new normal" doesn't expect me (or my business) to pay silly money to move off of what is working (XP in my case) to Windows 7? I'm happy to pay for something that gives me a benefit but an OS is just there to run in the background and let me get on with stuff.

And no ... I'm not moving us from office 2003 either thanks :-)

And my servers are all Solaris or Linux ....

Microsoft hosts Feynman lecture series

Why don't you all STFU?

Feynman lectures for free on the web .... this is just a plain great thing.

Stop the moaning ... install Silverlight ... watch it .... remove Silverlight.

Or just get with the fact you've already (as noted above) installed Flash and fuck knows what else and get off your high horses.

HTH

Ballmer gets tough with girly Microsoft partners

How many client-side OS versions?

"I don't know if they can't make up their mind or what the problem is over there. Last time I checked, you don't need two client operating systems. We tried it before with Windows 95 and Windows NT. I don't know what's really up."

So Windows 7 will be sold in how many different versions?

Will Android and GoogleOS be different code bases or different versions of the same code base? If the latter than Ball should just STFU!
