Open Source Innovations

,----[ Quote ]
| "Open source copies from commercial software." "Without commercial software 
| spending so much money on research, open source software would have no new 
| ideas." "Open source needs commercial software to survive." These are some of 
| the statements about open source software made by those with a vested 
| interest in seeing it fail or flounder - but are they justified or merely 
| FUD?     
| 
| While there are several logical arguments against this, and we will touch 
| upon a couple, the best argument is real world evidence: cases where open 
| source developers have been the innovators, and often where commercial 
| software has followed.

New Triangular Tessalations for Compiz

,----[ Quote ]
| In addition to the being able to break the window into hexagonal and
| rectangular shapes, using my triangular tessellation code found in the
| extra-animations plugin, Compiz can now break up the window into triangular
| shapes.
|
| The effect is used currently in the explode and leaf spread effects. I also
| added hexagonal tesselation to the leafspread effect.

Introducing the real 3D Compiz!

| Although I do not think that people would be wearing funny glasses all day
| long to work on their PC, possibilities this plugin presents are quite
| exciting for gamers and everyone wanting to show off the ‘real’ 3D desktop.
