Google Project 10 to the 100

¢mindfuckx:iconmindfuckx: reports, September 25
"At Google, we don't believe we have the answers, but we do believe the answers are out there. Maybe in a lab, or a company, or a university -- but maybe not.

Maybe the answer that helps somebody is in your head, in something you've observed, some notion that you've been fiddling with, some small connection you've noticed, some old thing you have seen with new eyes.
If you have an idea that you believe would help somebody, we want to hear about it. We're looking for ideas that help as many people as possible, in any way, and we're committing the funding to launch them. You can submit your ideas and help vote on ideas from others. Final idea selections will be made by an advisory board."

Google will donate a $10 million sponsorship to the top 5 ideas.
So what are you still doing here ?

Was, a long time ago. Never really got to grips with it... unfortunately, the UI was pretty funky, even for a 3D app... a hangover of its roots on the Amiga, as I recall.

I think this just further outs Microsoft as bandwagon jumpers. ;) Many companies have been working on this very project, successfully even, for years. Second Life (my second home) is just one of the many examples, and isn't even the first.
