Apart from the large drawing area, the tablet software looks very intuitive to artists. From the site: 'The system coherently integrates existing techniques of sketch-based interaction with a number of novel and enhanced features. Novel contributions of the system include automatic view rotation to improve curve sketchability, an axis widget for sketch surface selection, and implicitly inferred changes between sketching techniques. We also improve on a number of existing ideas such as a virtual sketchbook, simplified 2D and 3D view navigation, multi-stroke NURBS curve creation, and a cohesive gesture vocabulary.'"<p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/12/0228206&amp;from=rss"><img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=08/10/12/0228206"></a></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/12/0228206&amp;from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/6eE2iD-rtHRAbHxeJgKPRJG8vxc/a"><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/6eE2iD-rtHRAbHxeJgKPRJG8vxc/i" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/IyRt3XRgGkk" height="1" width="1"/> timothy 2008-10-12T02:53:00+00:00 gui no-mention-of-license-terms tech 1 1,1,0,0,0,0,0 http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/12/0228206&from=rss Open Office Plans To Party Like It's Version 3.0 http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/pKaRo-u6Brg/article.pl penguin_dance writes "The Register reports that 'OpenOffice.org is throwing a launch party in Paris on 13 October' to celebrate eight years, and hopefully announce the release of version 3.0.

'That's probably an efficient way to identify contrasting shapes, but color response varies by camera and is heavily influenced by ambient light conditions.'

IAN staff and Frostburg State University physics and engineering professor Hilkat Soysal are teaming &mdash; through a $165,000 project recently approved by the Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) program &mdash; to create renewable energy-powered, electromagnetic pulse (EMP)-protected microgrids that could provide electricity for critical infrastructure facilities in the event of a disaster." Also available are an EMP threat assessment (PDF) written for the US Congress and an estimate of economic impact (PDF).<p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/11/1158226&amp;from=rss"><img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=08/10/11/1158226"></a></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/11/1158226&amp;from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/eFytbp-Z9IpZoDFI0yP5pVInESA/a"><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/eFytbp-Z9IpZoDFI0yP5pVInESA/i" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/XIsKNj_3Hmg" height="1" width="1"/> Soulskill 2008-10-11T12:33:00+00:00 power solution-looking-for-a-problem tech 95 95,92,72,52,19,11,4 http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/11/1158226&from=rss CNET UK Credits Claim That Apple Will Release Networked TVs http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/00kkyBY3qPc/article.pl r2k writes "While the Apple rumours posted yesterday highlight some of the most commonly talked-about opinions, a writer for CNet UK sat down with Mahalo's Jason Calacanis, who told CNet he knew for a fact that Apple is developing fully networked LCD TV sets.

On the heels of the World Bank piece about massive penetrations of their servers, the British Ministry of Defense has lost a hard drive with the personal details of 100,000 serving personnel in the British armed forces, and perhaps another 600,000 applicants. This comes on the heels of the MoD losing 658 of its laptops over the past four years and 26 flash drives holding confidential information. Apparently the MoD outsources this stuff to EDS, which is under fire for not being able to confirm that the data was or was not encrypted."<p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/11/0112241&amp;from=rss"><img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&amp;op=image&amp;style=h0&amp;sid=08/10/11/0112241"></a></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/11/0112241&amp;from=rss">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/PzWJJy7ic2uxqHaOTkrym8hxY_8/a"><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/PzWJJy7ic2uxqHaOTkrym8hxY_8/i" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/EfROrIrKH7M" height="1" width="1"/> timothy 2008-10-11T08:41:00+00:00 security austin-powers-meets-the-peter-principle tech 147 147,146,120,95,35,25,12 http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/11/0112241&from=rss UK Government Says More Spying Needed http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/AbDhRO38SWc/article.pl An anonymous reader writes "Our wonderful government here in the UK has decided we're not being surveilled enough, and agreed to spend &pound;12 billion on a programme to monitor every Briton's phone calls, e-mails, and internet usage. According to various sources, upwards of &pound;1 billion has already been spent on the uber-database. Rationale? Terrorism, of course (no prizes for guessing).
