I want one! ...and I don't even play Minecraft. It seems the Star Trek Holodeck is one step closer.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I got a chance to try one during Build in April, and it is a great first step. However the demo videos are a bit misleading as the actual range of view is not that big. You have to be looking right at the hologram to see it, so some holograms get cut off when you hold your head straight and use your eyes to look up, down, left and right. I want to be able to see the holograms in my peripheral vision too, then it will be awesome!
But as I said, a great first step. We are on our way towards holodecks!

The security was interesting too. They make you place your jackets, phones, and any recording devices in a locked locker and then took us to a room across the hallway that had a beautiful view of the city. At one point one of the MS folks suggested taking a picture of the panoramic view. Ha ha...  ...some kind of test I guess

Awesome demo, I'm not much of a gamer but I'd like to try this.

I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

Watching the demo reminded me of several scenes in Avatar where the show the tree of life in holographic detail. We're getting there eh?

Excellent image! OT: was just thinking of the New Horizons probe, a bit more than a month away from hopefully cool (pun intended) Pluto pics.

If you drive people around all day but they don't pay you, would you have nothing to chauffeur it?

That sucks, they really auto pay you.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Here's a tip for those Europeans; try setting the Culture locale to "US/International". If that fails, hit the reset-button quick

Do we really need to be referred to articles that contain phrases such as "badass motherfucking sorcerer-hacker wizard-god" or "interviews in the Valley have truly gotten f***ing awful"? [I didn't star out "uck", it was done by the Lounge input editor!]
I was in the US Coast Guard. We didn't hesitate to use coarse language amongst ourselves. But its use was with other Coast Guardsmen, not the general public.
I doubt strongly that articles containing this language would be published in any reputable publication: in a peer reviewed publication or in a newspaper or in a book. I also doubt that these phrases could be used in a business meeting without reprimand.
I'm in no way a prude. But this is use of foul language was for shock purposes only. It added nothing to the value of the article. As a matter of fact, I stopped reading when I came across the phrases.
I find the Code Project Insider useful in that it presents me with articles that are useful. Mostly, I read for entertainment. Sometimes for their newsworthiness. But if this trend continues, I fear that I will cancel my subscription to the Code Project Insider and read more carefully the BBC articles on Tech and Science.

I'd suggest that this should be raised in Sugs.n.Bugs[^] - Chris can look and reprimand / comment as necessary.
