Comments on: Virtual in Vermont – software corporations get the green light http://futurismic.com/2008/11/11/virtual-in-vermont-software-corporations-get-the-green-light/ Presenting the fact and fiction of tomorrow since 2001 Sat, 19 May 2012 23:03:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: khannea http://futurismic.com/2008/11/11/virtual-in-vermont-software-corporations-get-the-green-light/comment-page-1/#comment-16909 khannea Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:23:47 +0000 http://futurismic.com/?p=4718#comment-16909 There is a new surface tension emerging. Right now there are new engine formats, new contracts, now ways in which Linden Labs move, or somehow find themselves "muscled into" agreements with prospective clients. Cant tell you the details, but Linden Labs is being railroaded into some USD government work as we speak, that will bite them in the ass for years. Right now. Right now the interface, the hardware, the whole playability of SL is something that is almost a career choice or a lifestyle. It is by no means accessible to the common user. You gotta be twisted in a way to do it. But that will change. Right now using SL as *a really elaborate phone/webcam/brainstorming" space is crap up to the heavens. But in a few years this will tilt and whammo, the millions will find themselves having to *struggle* NOT to be coerced into SL like environments. By their employers. By their fishing mates. By school. Its is unavoidable as the the rain being dead certain. I am hearing the distant rumble already. There is a new surface tension emerging.
