I would love to see -- ANY of these tech demo's running on the PS3 - If not only because it can be done - that , and the headline would only piss microsoft off even more ! (one would probably need a jailbroken machine at least to start with)....
Michael Sweet, who owns Easy Software Products, started developing CUPS in 1997. The first public betas appeared in 1999.[2] The original design of CUPS used the LPD protocol, but due to limitations in LPD and vendor incompatibilities, the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) was chosen instead. CUPS was quickly adopted as the default printing system for several Linux distributions, including Red Hat Linux.[citation needed] In March 2002, Apple Inc. adopted CUPS as the printing system for Mac OS X 10.2.[3] In February 2007, Apple Inc. hired chief developer Michael Sweet and purchased the CUPS source code.[4] (wikipedia)
The guy that developed cups in 1997 was hired in 2007, a whole 10years later. You can hardly credit Apple for developing CUPS, since it had been in development for 10yrs before they Hired Michael. If Cups had not existed - you can bet your bottom dollar whatever printing framework OSX would be using now would not be enjoying the freedom of operating on other platforms.
Its fair to say however - its nice that they did hire Michael and are continuing to support the development of CUPS.
"Because we support all major gaming console systems as well as Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, Scaleform GFx is built across over 80 different configurations. Once built, the configurations must be compressed into zip files or installer executables."
Not surprising really - Firefox seems to get more bloaty and unstable with each release. I still run Firefox but its definitely taking second place to Chrome these days.
I think most people are more interested in listening to good tunes and enjoying good music. While I agree that having a decent enough setup makes a huge difference in sound quality (http://www.richersounds.co.uk/) and i would gladly house your set-up. However I would hate to be so anal about soundquality that it actually detracts from enjoying my favorite musicians and composers. Having spent a fortune on your set-up can you really argue that it actually makes your favorite band any better?
now they have a big excuse to make money... At the record company meeting On their hands - a dead star And oh, the plans they weave And oh, the sickening greed
At the record company party On their hands - a dead star The sycophantic slags all say : "I knew him first, and I knew him well"
Re-issue ! Re-package ! Re-package ! Re-evaluate the songs Double-pack with a photograph Extra Track (and a tacky badge)
A-list, playlist "Please them , please them !" "Please them !" (sadly, THIS was your life)
But you could have said no If you'd wanted to You could have said no If you'd wanted to
BPI, MTV, BBC "Please them ! Please them !" (sadly this was your life)
But you could have said no If you'd wanted to You could have walked away...Couldn't you ?
I touched you at the soundcheck You had no real way of knowing In my heart I begged "Take me with you... I don't care where you're going..."
But to you I was faceless I was fawning, I was boring Just a child from those ugly new houses Who could never begin to know
Who could never really know Oh...
Best of ! Most of ! Satiate the need Slip them into different sleeves ! Buy both, and feel deceived
Climber - new entry, re-entry World tour ! ("media whore") "Please the Press in Belgium !" (THIS was your life...)
And when it fails to recoup ? Well, maybe : You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck You're just the same as I am What makes most people feel happy Leads us headlong into harm
So, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses' I danced my legs down to the knees But me and my 'true love' Will never meet again...
At the record company meeting On their hands - at last ! - a dead star ! But they can never taint you in my eyes No, they can never touch you now
No, they cannot hurt you, my darling They cannot touch you now But me and my 'true love' Will never meet again
I have to disagree to a certain extent , this is pure speculation , but it seems to me that the success of the iPod has gotten the apple brand in many more peoples hands than their actual computers. That brand re-enforcement means that people are probably more likely to desire and purchase more expensive apple hardware like there computers.
In short im saying that if apple had not branched out into their other devices their market share might not have increased in the same way we are seeing today.
I dont know how the "credit crunch" is going to affect there computer sales though. Right now people are watching the pennies and will they be asking themselves - "Do i really need the sparkly shiny one , or will this cheaper one do fine for the time being" ?
Id like to see if apple respond to the netbook phenomena in some way , could they produce something at a competitive price point to the eeepc for example? Or would they come up with something ridiculously overpriced ?
"Actually, I know of a lot of people having problems with the new FF running content on MySpace. Or is that a stupid user error? If it is I'd love to be enlightened."
Ill bet there are just as many people having problems with IE on myspace. After all , that site is a bag-of-bile
Get temp jobs doing computer type jobs for small companies. Show that you shine and youll be the "Whizz Kid". Even if its data entry or something. Your first few jobs might be a bit boring but the cunning plan is how you write your CV/Resume. That data entry job suddenly becomes
"Worked in the IT Department assisting with data collection systems and acted as first point of call for members of staff requiring support".
That'll act as a stepping stone for your next career move and before you know it you will be away!

Does anyone know much about the technology behind this?
Is it something more than glorified head-tracking ?

Unless you open the consoles case and switch the innards

You used the "J" word ... surely it must be that simple ... LOL
Search
"switching to ubuntu" on bing ,
and then try Google.
Googles first result is "switching to ubuntu from windows"
Bings first result is "switching to ubuntu from OSX"
I am a programmer also -
If they said that to me at work I would quit ... as simple as that.
Thats Stallman actually ..

Why would anyone actually want to license this patent anyway , let alone violate it.
So who cares if there is prior art anyway.

i didnt say they were still working - besides it was a joke!

Ive often thought this might be possible - get a Neural Network to analyse those MRI images we could have some interesting results.

Statistically this means that there are at least 1 Billion logitech mice out there.

software lock-in ?
what so they are replacing that with hardware lock-in instead (macs)? That makes economical sense!!!!
