Wall Street goes 3D

Article Abstract:

The New York Stock Exchange has launched a 3D virtual trading floor using latest technology, including Silicon Graphics Onyx workstations which offer continuously updated trading information in three dimensions. The virtual trading floor has composite modelling of each trade, permitting employees to follow how busy the networks are and to be aware of potential stress points. It is hoped that additional realism will be offered in the long-term through virtual reality headsets.

Has Apple finally lost the plot?

Article Abstract:

Committed users of Apple Mackintosh systems are beginning to become concerned that design may be taking precedence over functionality. They are particularly concerned about the QuickTime 4 Media Player, claiming that it has a strange 'feel.' Some observers are also expressing reservations following early demonstrations of Mac OSX Client, the planned successor to Mac OS9.
