Thread

I haven’t seen a thread here yet in regards to nice new technologies that are in the wild and are to come out, So I figured I’d start one. CI is really nice in the web development world of things, and it’s very interesting to find out what else is out there. Please post your findings in this thread as well.

Transparent screens are just an image trick.

You are correct about this. I do think they will have them sometime in the next 10 years though. Real ones.

So that’s what it does.
I personally prefer:

This one is neither nice nor new (NX4!) but it’s 2:18am and I’m still up drinking coffee and slaving away on the latest version of InkType (and browsing the CI forums) so I’m feeling a little bit rebellious.  My contribution is .ReactOS, a free reverse-engineered Windows binary compatible OS.

Ahhh screw that, just use GNU/Linux!

(btw - Just downloaded the VMWare image of ReactOS and it boots to the full desktop in about 3 seconds)
