Slashdot
Preview of Java 1.5
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/30/1942259
[0]gafter writes "An early access prototype implementation of the
proposed new J2SE 1.5 language features is available. The prototype
includes [1] generics (JSR 14), [2] typesafe enums, varargs,
autoboxing, foreach loops, and static import (JSR 201). In other words,
all the new language features planned for 1.5 except [3] metadata (JSR
175). The prototype includes full sources for the compiler, written in
the extended language. You can download the prototype from
[4]java.sun.com. It requires J2SE 1.4.1 and provides some examples of
how to use the new language constructs. The prototype includes an
experimental type system (variant type parameters) for Generic Java
that is being considered for Tiger (1.5) based on a paper by [5]
Igarashi and Viroli at ECOOP 2002 . Comments and votes for the new type
system are being gathered at [6]bugParade."

It is called [1]Journey to Wild Divine. The game features a biofeedback
USB interface designed to allow a player (or players) to navigate

OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard Review

of two humps--it reminds me of holding onto my knees rather a keyboard.
To type or mouse, you need to move the humps around in a synchronized
manner. It's twisted--but it's better for you to decide for
yourself--here's the article, [2]OrbiTouch Review: A Keyless Keyboard

Law and Virtual Worlds
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/29/176236
[0]Greg Lastowka writes "In light of yesterday's [1]spirited discussion
of the Shadowbane hack, I thought folks might be interested in [2]this
forthcoming article about the laws of virtual worlds. The article has
three parts: 1) a history of virtual worlds (e.g. Space War -->
MMORPGs), 2) a theoretical analysis of whether virtual world "property"
can/should be treated as legal property, and 3) an analysis of whether
virtual worlds can/should give rise to any other legal rights, i.e.
rights of avatars -- [3]an idea first floated by Raph Koster. I realize
there are plenty of strongly-held and divergent opinions on this, so
hopefully this might add to the ongoing conversation. Also, we're
revising this for publication over the summer, so we will be reading
the comments for any corrections/insights/humor that we can incorporate
into our revisions."

Wireless access for the masses!
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/28/0033238
- By Robin 'Roblimo' Miller - Bradenton, FL - So far I've only been able to find three local wireless "hot spots." Each one is on a different network, and all of them charge substantial daily fees to connect. The funny thing is, wireless access is dirt-cheap to provide, and businesses smart enough to give it to people like me for free would almost certainly profit from my increased patronage.
