You are right. Also take a look at the development of tablets.

In the beginning they were small low-res tablets. But people wanted a bigger screen -> bigger tablets with high-res screens. But people hated to type on the screen -> keyboards added. But people hated to hold it all the time -> stands are added. And suddenly it is looking like a laptop.

I think there is a reason why Laptops and Desktops didn't change that much in all those years.

I don't think the feedback of the servos will detect a human body part. These servos are very very strong. Maybe when it hit the concrete it will skip a step noticeable in the feedback but that's about it.

Here some action: http://www.botndolly.com/media#/medium/15

I think it's very scary standing next to a moving robot that close. It doesn't stop when you get in the way. Hope someone is holding a emergency stop button.

Maybe a stupid question: but do you need iTunes to install an .ipa file? I've seen some programs that can just install these files on any iDevice without the use of iTunes.

And isn't Xcode and an Apple acount enough to sign the app?

I can open a program in my quick-launch-bar with one click before you even typed the first letter of that program. Maybe it's not a design feature, but it gets in the way.

(And yes: I'm using Windows 7 with the Windows Classic theme.)

Art is expression and communication. Some get touched by the message, some don't. If some people like to pay big bucks for art, just let them.

Some might say Tracey Emin is a bad artist. But I think here message is very clear: pain from being raped and losing 2 kids. It's a sad message.

Like Hugh MacLeod (gapingvoid) I like to say: "Worrying about “Commercial vs. Artistic” is a complete waste of time.".

This might also be a font-issue. Most of the time websites embed different font-types like eot, ttf, woff and svg. But some types lack font-hinting. It depends on the order in the CSS file which supported font browsers will use.

Sunflow seems dead.

Take a look at LuxRender. Source: http://www.luxrender.net/en_GB/source_code

[edit] also take a look at the forum: http://www.luxrender.net/forum/ There are a lot of nice projects related to LuxRender. From exporters to GPU rendering.

I know a lot of companies just keep your account including your password in there database while you removed your account.

Can I be sure my account was totally removed when I removed my LinkedIn account? Because the "please change your password as soon as possible" won't help me much.
