I don't even know what to make of this; Intel has decided to release a full-on internet advertising campaign sponsoring many websites, which all leads to this video. To me, and everyone else in Second Life, and everyone else using Open Grids (Open-source OpenSim http://opensimulator.com) , and everyone else in the world that hasn't been living under a rock for the past half-decade... um, Intel, we know you're trying to steal Second Life. Calling it Intel's "3D Internet", and obviously ripping off Linden Lab's Second Life, how foolish.
UPDATE: Since this post Intel has conveniently changed the title of the video, changed the description of the video, and has changed all of the information on their Youtube page.

Kirstenlee Cinquetti - Clients and Viewers that let you SEE, not just view
The best way to offer up Kirstenlee Cinquetti's Sl clients, OpenSim clients, and other open-source inventions, it's best to simply direct you straight to the blog with all the info:

If you are a SL or pixel-photog, even a mechinimist, you'll definitely want to check out her viewers. It's about time we have shadows cast from light within the grid.
Here are the direct FTP downloads for the viewers: http://www.armyof4.com/Kirstenlee/
however I recommend reading the blog so you know what you're doing before you blow up your computer.

As a recap, I've mentioned before the Nicholaz clients/viewers as well, which can be found at:

The reason I am so strongly for creatives taking the open source and creating their own viewers, is because us users are the ones that know what is most important to us in SL. As a photographer, you don't need voice lagging your shots. As a musician, you don't need everyone's party bling crashing your stream. So, in conclusion, I recommend trying out other viewers that have been created before you just run around complaining nothing works.
If windlight doesn't work for you... why not use a SL viewer that has the sky disabled?
If animations, rotating scripts, big laggy BS, why not use a viewer that has all that already disabled before you log in?
Just some suggestions..... there's ways to fix your complaints in SL.... and the only effective cure for your problems is to solve the problems yourself.... because the solutions exist.
