Star Technology and UIs on Movies: Entertaining a Diverse Audience
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Wed 10th Sep 2003 03:36 UTC
Multimedia, AV With the computer market exploding into success the last 20 years more and more movies are featuring people using computers.

Myself, I always wondered how Captain Kirk could come out of a fight with perfect hair.
