Bre Pettis | I Make Things - Design Glut Interview
"3D printing has the potential to be pretty revolutionary. What’s your vision for the future? Right now we have a way of distributing and manufacturing products that is completely alien, compared to what people were doing 100 years back. We shop for things, often online, and we find the thing that most suits us. We order it. It was probably built very far away, and it ends up getting shipped to some other place and some other place and some other place before it comes to you. Well, it doesn’t have to be like that. You could just shop for something online, download a file, and print it out at home on your 3D printer." - Tom Himpe from Bookmarklet
Ok for small gadgets, but for a real thing, i.e. a tool, a piece of furniture, a spare part for a car etc... ? - skylendar
Cool. With a little bit of work, I could create my own action figures. I could see a larger version being used to make patio furniture and certain car parts, such as the big plastic thing that houses the headlight unit on my car. - Nathanael M. Christen
For real spare parts, you need steel, not plastic. - skylendar
3d printing is available for steel/metal as a sintered metal using lasers to melt it into place on top of a piston which drops before the next layer is blown into the chamber. 3D printing is more real than nanotech. It is disruptive tech. You can print in thermoplastics and sculptural wax, (you can 3D scan with Open source software), you can email CAD file to 3Dprinteries who'll send it... more... - meika loofs samorzewski
And what about printing in colors ? - skylendar
I think it should be possible to 3D print houses with everything : structure, insulation, wiring, etc - Bud Blumenthal

Matte Black MacBook Pro Looks Like a Deadly Stealth Ship - the damper? it's 6000$. - http://gizmodo.com/5305501...
Matte Black MacBook Pro Looks Like a Deadly Stealth Ship - the damper? it's 6000$.
"This $6000 Colorware MacBook Pro isn't just impressive because of its price, it's impressive because it looks like what a real matte black MacBook Pro from Apple would look like. There are only ten available, and with each one costing $6000, you're probably not going to be one of the ten. So soak up the images and pretend that you can reasonably justify paying more than twice as much for a laptop just for it not to be so shiny and grey." - vijay from Bookmarklet

pretty, but $6000? Really? How'd they work that one out? $2000/$2500 for parts and $4000/$3500 for labour? - alphaxion

meh - Yuvi
I wonder how many people will just spraypaint theirs? - alphaxion
lol! I don't think I wanna spray-paint mine. It's just not the same thing. - vijay
If you disassembled it carefully, sanded the case for a rough surface, painted it, then covered it with a matte finish, I wonder how close you could get. - Andrew C (✓)
that sounds like a plan Andrew but the big question is will there be any takers? : ) - vijay
HA HA HA HA HA! A $6000 macbook pro? no thanks. - Violet Mae Lim

Nova Spivack on the transformation of the web into the Stream - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/nova-sp...
"And just as the Web once emerged on top of the Internet, now something new is emerging on top of the Web: I call this the Stream. The Stream is what the Web is thinking and doing, right now. It’s our collective stream of consciousness. (...) Just as the Web is not any one particular site or service, the Stream is not any one site or service - it’s the collective movement that is taking place across them all." - Iphigenie
Wondering how virtual worlds such as Second Life fit into this. As it is explained in the article, the web is not the internet, it developed on top of it. The Stream is developing on top of the Web, or.. on top of the Internet? (which would include parts of the internet which are not part of the web as such, like Second Life and other virtual environments). - roland legrand
I see the games and virtual worlds as you do, using the internet infrastructure but not of Web or Stream. But their community does live in the web and stream. And since we are starting to see games that "sync" with the real world (sports games mostly, for now) so it is possible that in the future some virtual worlds will be in interaction with the stream, being a 3d world containing a... more... - Iphigenie
since we were talking about this I found this: http://minsh.net/ a fish aquarium virtual world over twitter. Perhaps a sign of things to come? - Iphigenie
Very cool conversation :) Joelle, Roland you're invited to get your fish ;-) - Jonathan Maïm

The Economist: copyright and wrongs - http://communia-project.eu/node...
The renowned UK weekly The Economist just launched a new online debate on copyright and wrongs. The moderator, Kenneth Cukier, the magazine's Tokyo correspondent, started with this opening remark: "Copyright strangles creativity. Copyright rewards originality. It is a nuisance to the public that unduly enriches a few people. It is the backbone of our knowledge economy that fuels progress. Hate it, love it, break it, protect it; few people lack strong opinions about copyright and its place in society." In support of the initial motion ("existing copyright laws do more harm than good") we have Professor William Fisher (Harvard Law School), while Professor Justin Hughes (Cardozo Law School, New York) argues against it. - Michel Bauwens
