Why the F.U.D. against OpenGL 3.0?
,----[ Quote ]
| So, it was with some interest to read on TheRegister and Slashdot that the
| release of OpenGL 3.0 was met with heavy resistance by existing developers.
| Strangely, Wikipedia user Paeator Alpha's post seemed to be the most balanced
| immediate report on OpenGL 3.0, and lets face it, Wikipedia isn't known for
| being accurate.
|
| It was even stranger to read then from one of the developers actually
| attending SIGGRAPH that the backlash reported by Slashdot and TheReg, just
| wasn't happening.
|
| The OpenGL BoF went really well, I think. Nobody showed up with torches
| or pitchforks. Of course, the free beer may have helped. The most useful
| part of it for me was the mingling period after all the presentations. I
| talked with quite a few people and, contrary to the /. reports, nobody
| was furious. Whew!
|
| [...]
|
| So, Khronos has run into the exact same problem KDE ran into. A lot of people
| are simply armchair analysts with no actual graphics experience. That's why
| the actual developers at SIGGRAPH responded so differently than the reports
| from TheReg and SlashDot would have people believe.

Intel plays games with USB3.0
,----[ Quote ]
| This behaviour is not what defines 'standard', it is what
| defines 'proprietary'. Basically if you are competing with Intel, or are
| perceived to be competing with it, you have to wait and suck down a six-month
| disadvantage. The last time this happened was USB1.0. Intel played the same
| games and the standard was so broken it never worked.
