Georgina Prodhan of Reuters, Frankfurt interviews uncle Phil. It’s a good interview, short but sweet without much said that isn’t already known, other than he admits they didn’t foresee the rise in laptop popularity (less capable in CPU power and graphics abilities.)
“Rosedale said a new generation of computers with more powerful graphics capacities would help stimulate wider interest in Second Life, where avatar models representing users fly or teleport around and can buy and sell land in Linden dollars.”
[Emphasis above is mine]
The interview is about Rosedale’s belief that Second Life will become ‘mainstream’. The problem isn’t only the interface, it’s so many other things. Such as the horrible abysmal introduction new users experience when they first enter the SL world. he basically admit (again) in this quote how sloppy Linden lab’s code is. but, at least he admits it.
