TL;DR:
“content distribution regulation by viewing user.” Theoretically, if the Kinect establishes there are more people in the room than is permitted according to the licence that users agree to when renting of purchasing content, the movie won’t play.

Visual DRM

HAHAHAHA HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THIS OH MY GOD MICROSOFT

We all know that Microsoft bombed the XBox announcement but

“Microsoft regularly applies for and receives patents as part of its business practice; not all patents applied for or received will be incorporated into a Microsoft product.”

It is very common for big companies to patent everything because it might become handy when someone “uses” this patent. It is like their second income when business is hard: they sue each other to bankruptcy. I’ve seen some very crazy patents from Apple and Sony but didn’t see any real products out of them.

If there were this kind of DRM it could be exploited by wearing a flat mask (face recognition) and covering the body with a blanket (body detection). Therefore this type of DRM isn’t applicable.

Do NOT forget! Tomorrow!

I just went to the Thundercats (2011) Wikipedia page to see when new episodes will be aired and I’ve seen something horrible: The show is cancelled. Cancelled after its first season. That sucks.

When I was very young I’ve seen reruns of this series on TV but I forgot that it exists until now. This series is soo goofy by today’s standards. It is glorious.

Ah, its yours?! I remember having this in my DA favourites since forever - one of the first stereo pics Ive seen. I practised doing that special squint on this one:)

Oh wow! That’s awesomely spooky.

Stereoscopic Keys by ~Adiwan

I want to share a very old picture of mine. Back then I was more into photography and played a lot with my camera. So when I was disassembling my keyboard to clean I thought about doing a stereoscopic picture (it was my first).

I don’t know whether it is funny or sad: I made more fan art with the vet pony than all the other artists combined (the art I know of).

casamancy:

if you think that artists shouldn’t use refs

or that an artist is a bad artist for using a ref

or that using a ref makes anybody less of an artist

then you are dead fucking wrong (◡‿◡✿)

spoiler: all your idol artists used refs
