You may need to upgrade your graphics driver, or try using Opera or Explorer. Personally I am using IE 7 and current release of Firefox and no problem.

Try testing your hearing. I would think Billy, Tex and anyone else over 30 (haha) may have some difficulty. I tried and did in fact hear every tone up to 22000HZ.

UPDATE...tekhna3d has updated their website (and are still building) and have a nice 3D tool called 'unity web player'.

Now you can download unity web player and use your cursor to move the orb, spin the orb and learn more on what exactly 'unity player' is and intended to do.

As I was doing my evening web browsing I stumbled across a website that is very informative in regards to digital media. There is a wide variety of topics and discussions in regards to DVD\DVD-BluRay etc.. Take a look for yourself and chime back with your thoughts.

I've used afterdawn's guides for a few things I wasn't sure about. It's very useful. There's a lot of stuff I haven't really looked at though and I probably should.

Afterdawn is awesome, I've used it for years for a couple of things........PSP Modding, learing more about dvd burning, decrypting, etc.......Pretty much all illegal stuff :D

As I browse the internet this am I am always one for 3D rendering, here's a link that'll entice some of you whom are interested in that. My favourite is Bandit 3 and yes you can maneuver over the ads as well, just click on them. Oh if you click on the screen of the laptop you will watch a brief interview of the gentlemen designing c-kite 3D.

NASA TV. Tonight September 6, 2013 at 11:27pm est NASA will launch a rocket from the state of Virginia.

--->http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html#.UiqDTVNuaiI (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html#.UiqDTVNuaiI)

The map below shows the zone of potential visibility for the LADEE launch from Virginia. The colors indicate how high the rocket will appear above the horizon at its highest. Ten degrees is roughly the width of your fist held out at arm's length. Also the map indicates when LADEE's Minotaur 5 rocket is expected to rise at least 5 degrees above the horizon. For outlying areas, it may take more than two minutes for the rocket's bright speck to come into view.
