Face Expressions
As we could hear in Reuter's interview (thanks to Hiro Pendragon), Mitch Kapor is working on a prototype of 3D camera. Idea is to make a camera that will add an infrared generated layer of data, so for each pixel it also streams the distance from the camera. Then, with a bit of software, system can trace what your human body is doing and your avatar can follow your body language, imitate your face expressions, look where your human looks and generally be much better connected to you.
Griefing Against Serious Life
Wired's Mutilated Furries, Flying Phalluses: Put the Blame on Griefers, Sociopaths of the Virtual World tries to shed some more light on the griefers and griefing. Which is nice and fair.

So, here are the first answers… Read more…

How To Kill A Businessman
I guess you have already heard about certain gentleman who thought that it is a nice biz and an ethical idea to grab legal opportunity to be the only one to use a word that is becoming popular. Something like…. SLart. If you're not, ask Vint Falken about it.
Social Media Mega Project: Second Life
OK, I have to explain that title fast: It is a big group writing project. It covers 19 social media networks (you know, all the web 2.0 stuff) and second life.
