Google's O3D Joins Mozilla's Effort to Bring Rich 3D Environments to Browsers
,----[ Quote ]
| We covered a 3D graphics initiative from Mozilla and Khronos here, and we've
| written widely about how open source, 3D worlds, and 3D gaming are
| converging, including here, and here. Mozilla and Khronos have their eyes on
| browser-based 3D graphics tools that can lead to gaming applications within
| browsers, and 3D environments all around the web, including on social sites
| such as Facebook and MySpace. The Canvas 3D graphics Firefox extension is
| found and discussed here.

Home automation in GNU/Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Home Automation is anything that your home does for you automatically to make
| living there more enjoyable or productive. It covers many areas, including
| remote and timed control of lights and electrical home appliances,
| distributed media services, and communication. Over the last 10 years, many
| hardware manufacturers have presented their own proprietary solutions to
| these problems. Unbeknownst to them, a groundswell of developers from around
| the world has been providing similar solutions to the free and open source
| community.
|
| In this introductory article, I will carry out a high-level review of a
| number of these projects to see what is already available.
