VW Review™

Garth Goode posted on his blog SLWTF (I love this bog!) that he found an unusually well hidden group of bots hovering about 750 meters over Echo Island. reading his description, they apparently are surrounded by a skybox that has invisibility scripts (making it appear invisible from the outside.) – However, the genius land owner who created the set-up also put a security system in place – which is the very thing that will let seekers know exactly where they are. (And security systems are actually pretty easy to overcome.)

How ironic this is.
Geniuses Darwin forgot, anyone?

Go take a peek. Then subscribe to SLWTF – awesome blog where each article Garth posts is a quick read with a lot of work-friendly pictures (usually anyway).

“This group was especially well hidden. As I increased altitude to find the skybox, I was suddenly ejected from the region by a security system. That’s the first time I’ve seen someone take hiding their bots so seriously.”

Very difficult to say. However, MACNN has discovered a paten application files by Apple Computer, Inc. that clearly describes an onlin shopping atmosphere and in the details, very strong clues to a 3D world.

Is this world Second Life or is it going to be something proprietary or a mixture of both? For now, who knows? But, no matter if it’s Second Life, There, Vastpark or even World of Warcraft – if any commercial company can make a damned good go of their presence ina virtual world, Apple Computer – Steve Jobs and company can do it.

So what does any of this have to do with Apple? Simply put, one of Apple’s latest patents presents us with a number of clues that indeed indicate that they’re creating some kind of a virtual world environment in their labs at this very moment. Note here in their patent FIG. 9 where they’re clearly presenting the notion of it being “sunny.” Although that may sound strange, Apple’s patent goes on to clarify that by stating that “environmental/atmospheric indicators are also included.

According to Business Wire, it’s official… and not just playing around. Apparently Samsung is sold on the idea that there are those of us who absolutely cannot get enough of Second Life that we will actually go in-world through a telephone.

I won’t elaborate – here’s the quote from the story:

The latest in a series of tools designed to enrich the Second Life Grid®, the platform behind the popular 3D virtual world created by Linden Lab®, Samsung brings the Second Life virtual world to Samsung mobile phones. With the Second Life client available on Samsung’s mobile handsets, users can enjoy many services from the Second Life virtual world whenever and wherever. Unique features of the Second Life client on Samsung’s mobile handsets include a mixed blogging platform that allows users to post their blog simultaneously in the real world and the virtual world of Second Life, and the Samsung Mixed Contact feature which allows users to have mixed world contact by communicating with avatar friends via voice or SMS.
