Home is Where You Are Free to Build
As you may or may not know, Sony is developing its own virtual world for PlayStation3. OK, it is another "SL killer" in the race for the metaverse capitol. And once again, the specifica differentia between the two is user generated content. Once again Second Life is the one which will provide you a possibility to be creative. From Extropia DaSilva's Home: No Place Like SL?:
But can you? Can you really? I do not think that is the case at all. Saying "give them prims to build with and they will all be content creators" is a bit like saying "give somebody a canvas, paint and a brush and they will be an artist". Is that true? In a superficial sense I suppose it is, but inevitably one would compare one's own efforts with the likes of Turner, Monet, Picasso, Dali, and guess what?

Out of Character Cyber-Sex
Believe it or not, I felt like doing something very deviant.

Hot or Not is Not Hot
It is all over the web. Now it comes to the second life. Rate other avatars, rate objects, rate everything… Don't stop clicking little red or green buttons like an experimental rat. Read more…
Centralized Networks or P2P
Let's say that the better world is possible. I'm not talking utopias or idealistic daydreams. I am talking better world as no lagging, no missing textures, teleports working, no crashing, no freezing.
Price? Well, money. All of it. One of the known solutions of current technicall problems of our world requires that all the money vanish from the metaverse. Are you ready for that? Read more…
