    Widget Real-Estate: Unlimited Possibilities of Design for Software GUI Applications

    As IO (input/output) devices become more high resolution, as developers we won’t be limited to designing our graphical symbols of interactivity to the finite resolution of the screen output. (more…)

  • Concept for Storage Cells

    I really want a portable camera like Pivothead’s hands-free eyeglass camera, but it’s just too bulky. Why does it look like something X-Men’s Cyclops would wear?

    So I thought of what the current technologies goes into the Pivothead: USB for transferring into PC, wireless transceiver, SSD storage, etc.

    I don’t care too much about LEDs and stuff yet, so I just want to focus on storage.

    And nowadays, storage is INCREDIBLY SMALL. Look at those literal thumbnail (or even booger size) flash cards we use in our mobile phones. So if those things can hold huge amounts of data in their compact size, why not take it a step further.

    I think they can stretch those microSD cards into cables and still accomplish the same thing. If my understanding is correct, it’s all about holding a charge to represent binary data. So find a way to hold the charge in cable form. Mayhaps, this is where carbon fibers might come in handy.

    So if this works, then an eye glass camera would just store it’s data inside the actual frame or temples.

    The power source, would be in the camera area. Something like that.

  • HTML5 Canvas Performance Cross-Browser Comparisons

    By Chongchen Saelee

    Rendering 32×32 bitmapped image with 2D to real 3D to 2D projection tranformation to fit 320×240 (100%) HTML5 canvas with translation, scaling, and other composited images:

    • Chrome v.31x = 62fps
    • Firefox v.26 = 60fps
    • IE v.9.0.8x = 45fps

    BUT, when using browser’s built-in zoom to 200% (640×480):

    • Chrome v.31x = 60fps
    • Firefox v.26 = 15fps
    • IE v.9.0.8x = 45fps

    So obviously, Chrome is champ when it comes to utilizing your hardware acceleration techniques. Firefox, however, failed in the zoomability corner. What a shame.

    Solution: HPMediaSmart DVD on HP Laptops stop playing Blu-ray discs

    See, after 2012, 20th Century Fox slapped a bunch of their newly authored Blu-rays with BD+ and some other fancy DRM (digital rights management) techniques. So in order for you to play their content, you need to use their authorized firmware aka Blu-ray software players.

    Unfortunately, if you’re an owner of an older Hewlett-Packard laptop who is stuck using their built-in media player software such as HPMediaSmart DVD, and you don’t have software upgrade or update support anymore, then you might be SOL or forced to buy a new commercial Blu-ray software that will play newer titles (Who has USD$100 lying around these days, especially to watch Blu-rays that have been collecting dust on our shelves for more than half a decade?).

    HP, however, provided HP laptop owners with a FREE STANDARD VERSION of PowerDVD 10. The file is ~150 MB. (more…)

    Filmmaker James Cameron can make light of domestic spying abuse with his spy-thriller “True Lies”, which was actually a remake of a French film (the French are the ones who practically created the war and spy culture), and Ben Stiller’s “Meet The Parents” has a similar sub-plot. (more…)
