Remember how he was going to single-handedly fix the Horizon oil disaster off the coast of Louisiana? Never happened. Actually, not a single thing this guy has made headlines for has actually panned out.
I wonder what sort of framerate we'd need for this sort of detail shifting. It would be very distracting to have the display's rendered point of focus lag where you're looking at, and I think that lag would be noticeable even at 60fps. We do know that the eye jitters a fair amount subconsciously to better perceive more of its surroundings, when things are going on.
current cards easily render console port games at 100-150fps in 720p so its not hard to imagine 600fps in a small 1080p window
I want millions. I want the entire population of New York City, all eight million people, turned into shambling, flesh-eating monsters. And I want the entire First Infantry Division there to fight them off. Real-time, with full AI. Minimum of thousands of people and un-people on screen at all times.
You can have 300-400 AI on a screen today in Mount&Blade, or a server with 150 humans fighting each other, all on the same map on your screen in front of you.
I saw designs on Limor fried's Site years ago that she made for her thesis I believe. It's a good read. Either way it's funny how long these things took to become popular http://www.ladyada.net/make/wavebubble/index.html

Its funny YOU think they took that long to become popular, Jammers were readily available $100 on Dealextreme the day ladyada jammer project got posted (years ago).
"No Gramma don't click the red button... No don't click Confirm, that warning is lying to you." "No mom it's in the menu bar. The menu. At the top. Of the screen... Just let me remote in..." "Left-click. With the mouse. What? How big is the button? No, use the button on the top of the mouse, not the side."
I used to do that, now that I am over 30 I just tell people they are too stupid to use computers.
There are teachers (like any industry) that are notorious for thinking they know more than the techs that have dedicated their lives and education to it.
Please not that. We've been down that road, and we know where it leads. HP will be selling 3D printer "ink" for $100 per microgram.
We are already there. http://cubify.com/cube/index.aspx They have "cheap" consumer 3D printer, but they charge arm and a leg for plastic AND they charge for individual 3D designs!!!11one
Seagate had almost record profits this Quarter. WD did VERY good despite the flood. Looks like the only one hurt was consumers, Corporations made out like bandits.
Except for the small fact Rasppi will be running fat binary closed source BLOB controlling whole board and deciding what is enabled and what is not (gfx, decoders, IO)
So he is out poorly trying to straighten things out when the real tragedy is that the innocent product maker is getting burned. People were harassing the product maker over this guy's moronic behavior.
People are harassing some Chinese fly by night manufacturing plant? Sales office in US is NOT a "product maker". If the product is good Chinese will keep making clones. Nothing lost.
This PR company may need to burn to the ground, but the controller, designed for disabled kids, by a school teacher, should be spared.. don't you guys agree?
Dont worry about the controller, if it sells at all Chinese will sell it directly bypassing US company. No harm done (except bankrupting designer, but he deserves it for hiring douchebags).
I have an acquaintance who went over to China and worked with their manufacturing sector for several years. He loved the country, thought the people and culture were very nice, but was not impressed *at all* with their engineering prowess.
The problem isn't that the people are incapable of innovating. The problem is they have no culture or institutions to support innovation. They are trying desperately to change this, but China is run as an enormous top-down bureaucracy. Change isn't going to happen even at a modest pace.
Im sure that 100 hackerspaces in Shanghai program is going to help them with that.
While not 'containing' the malware, some media files have a field that specifies where the codec for them can be downloaded, and some players respond to this by downloading and installing the 'codec'. Needless to say, the 'codec' installer contains the malware.
by some you mean WMV and Windows media player, NO OTHER files do that.
Cheapest hardware with 1Gbit and USB 2.0 (~$50). Only problem with it - bootloader doesnt setup vlans on teh ethernet bridge = you have WAN and LAN port bridged for few seconds after every boot:/ Maybe they fixed it already.

And if the material that comes up on a search is slanderous, that's grounds fir a defamation suit.
Unless it's true. Telling the truth is never slander, no matter how embarrassing it may be.
it is in UK.
When was the last time you had to put out a fire on Eve?
The day Crrcible was released by graphic card went on fire while rendering _one_ avatar in an empty room at 20fps.
Eve Online is a trading sim, not an adventure game like he seems to be describing.
Eve Online is anything you want it to be. It has no arbitrarily imposed goals, you choose your own destiny and how you get there.
Dear aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all

>Has anyone found any reason why it was secret?
It still is. Whole thing is a GPU/FPGA with glued in ARM core. They released all the ARM details, but omitted everything about GPU/FPGA.

It's great that they improved the locking. I just hope they didn't compromise web scalability in the process.

I believe this is a pretty accurate non-lawyer summary of the patents involved.
you forgot the most important aspect of all of those patents, they all include a phrase "on a mobile network"!
Good luck running x264 on your mobile phone, which is the platform both of those hardware encoders are targetting.
This is exactly what I am doing just fine at 720p on my phone, what exactly is the problem?
Let me know when the real SLC SSD's are out, not this half arsed slow and unreliable "MLC" crap.
Manufacturers got something better just for you, its called TLC!
It's my understanding that they don't really brick the phones, all of the networks just block the phones by IMEI number based on a common database.
and changing imei is just one click away, at least for older models
