- It Will Be Awesome if They Don't Screw it Up: 3D Printing... | Public Knowledge publicknowledge.org
This white paper, It Will Be Awesome if They Don’t Screw it Up: 3D Printing, Intellectual Property, and the Fight Over the Next Great Disruptive Technology, examines how intellectual property (IP) law impacts the rapidly maturing technology of 3D printing, and how incumbents who feel threatened by its growth might try to use IP law to stop it.

This is wonderful.
- WebGL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org
"A standard specification currently being developed to display 3D graphics on web browsers. It enables hardware-accelerated rich 3D graphics in web pages without the need for special browser plug-ins, on any platform supporting OpenGL or OpenGL ES. Technically it is a binding for JavaScript to native OpenGL ES 2.0 implementation, to be built in to browsers." Blimey. It's running in Firefox and Webkit nightlies, apparently.
