A friend of mine, Emiel Duys, has started blogging. His first post is a detailed deep drive into the difference between casting options in C# down to the assembly code level. His blog is called CodeDetails and can be found at : http://codedetails.com/blogs/emiel/default.aspx (RSS).

Holographic Communication?

Have we reached the technical capability of having holographic communications? Well, check out this video - http://www.musion.co.uk/Cisco_TelePresence.html (via Josh Holmes).

The result though is wicked cool and gives the appearance of 3D images or holograms.
