Michael and Michael get together via skype this week, while Michael R’s studio has pounding hammers and mystery sounds from the construction team outside. We address this week’s burning questions – is SecondLife movie worthy? Can Blind users benefit from a immersive 3D graphical environment? Is the iPhone an immersive virtual world environment? Is Apple stealing employees and patents from other companies? Is the Future Windows 7? Have you joined us on Friend Connect yet? These and many more questions are answered on this week’s Dogear-Nation. So don’t forget to keep tagging with “Dogear-Nation” on the various social bookmarking sites.
