Below the shark, to the left on the desk, that's a hint for us. I am
sure even that peopel are saying well, what have you people been doing
sleeping? We have the monitors, where is your upgrade so we can use
holographic technology?

Well you know its not like we have been sitting on our hands. We have it
worked out, its just that its difficult to do. So we have been
investigating not just the hardware and quantum computers and how to
make them, what about the social ramifications of this technology?

You know so we have put 5 years into that aspect so that when we design
the machines and software and programming languages, we know better what
we need, what to avoid, and how to do it properly. And to be honest the
'Interface problem' is not completely worked out yet.
But we have made great strides. Most people will already be familiar
with the language of AI when the machines hit the shelves because we
have been teaching people the language for 5 years.

We have been making virtual Veldts for much longer, but testing in the
general public for 5 years.

I suspect you will see it all come together fairly quickly now. No one
listens to me though when I say, that we need something and I was saying
that we needed to use maybe as a Boolean operator a number of years ago.
So its not my fault if the machines are not ready for Christmas because
they are not finished yet.

Now SONY is my favorite company even though we have a love hate
relationship. And you might go buy a 3D HDTV or you might wait just a
little longer for the holograph TV. Or maybe they will have both
capabilities. But the glasses are a nuisance.

I have a set of SONY Glasstrons, those are glasses that have LED
monitors in them and give you big screen TV viewing with a pair of
glasses but there are problems with that in terms of comfort.

So while you are watching 3D TV we will of course be programming Veldt
themes for the future.

As I say we have not been sitting on our hands lots of people everywhere
have been working on this. So ok when it comes to quantum mechanics and
quantum computers and decisions related to that well you have to come
here or to some other physics haunting grounds, to see about that. Few
people know how atoms really work on the quantum level but some people
do and so then you see how easy it is to figure out when someone
explains the principle in a thread like this.

But then we are just using the principles and adapting it to our use.
Its not as difficult as doing things physically with atoms like
programmable matter.
