Television Shows Based on Commercials

As popular as many advertising mascots are, it seems as if television shows based on commercials should be more common. After all, Tony the Tiger, Cap’n Crunch, Snap, Crackle, and Pop, and others are immensely popular, to the point that there has even been merchandise has been based on them. Indeed, in 1939, Snap, Crackle, and Pop even appeared in their own theatrical animated short, “Breakfast Pals.” It would seem more even more likely that there would have been more television shows based o

NVIDIA offers up GPU-accelerated plug-ins for Quadro FX 4800

Imagine you have a top-of-the-line Mac Pro, NVIDIA’s obscenely expensive Quadro FX 4800 workstation GPU , dual 30″ Cinema Displays, and you’re editing your next masterpiece in Premiere Pro, After Effects, or Final Cut Pro (or maybe all three!). You might be dying for Snow Leopard and OpenCL to unlock the computing potential inside that powerful GPU, but luckily, there are a selection of plug-ins that can take advantage of that power right now. NVIDIA has a page that lists several video effects plug-ins from Elemental Technologies, BorisFX, and Red Giant Software that are designed to leverage NVIDIA’s CUDA GPGPU technology.

Best Buy offers LittleBigPlanet, Wall-E free with PS3

We’ve been running a higher than normal number of “hot deals” posts in the past week, and I apologize in advance for another one. Best Buy has quite the bundle for the PS3 , however, and I thought it was worth passing on. Right now you can pick up the 80GB model of the hardware for $399.99, and you also get a copy of LittleBigPlanet and a Blu-ray copy of Wall-E.

Self Healing Robots

ABSTRACT When people or animals get hurt, they can usually compensate for minor injuries and keep limping along, but for robots, even slight damage can make them stumble and fall. Now a robot scarcely larger than a human hand has demonstrated a novel ability: It can recover from damage — an innovation that could make robots more independent. The new robot, which looks like a splay-legged, four-footed starfish, deduces the shape of its own body by performing a series of playful movements, swiveling its four limbs.

Image Compression Using Wedgelets

ABSTRACT Images typically contain strong geometric features, such as edges, that impose a structure on pixel values and wavelet coefficients. Modeling the joint coherent behavior of wavelet coefficients is difficult, and standard image coders fail to fully exploit this geometric regularity. i.e

Java Ring

ABSTRACT A Java Ring is a finger ring that contains a small microprocessor with built-in capabilities for the user, a sort of smart card that is wearable on a finger. Sun Microsystems’s Java Ring was introduced at their Java One Conference in 1998 and, instead of a gemstone, contained an inexpensive microprocessor in a stainless steel iButton running a Java virtual machine and preloaded with applets (little application programs). The rings were built by Dallas Semiconductor

With Right Monitoring Tools, Insourcing Can Be An Opportunity

Companies confronting the need to “do more with less” should take a long, hard look at their outsourced commitments before they lay off staff. And although bringing tasks in house means more work for already burdened IT departments, it’s also a chance to take control of costs and re-invest in a more purpose-driven approach. This podcast from SearchCIO offers some perspectives you might want to consider.

Intel China fab to use 65nm process, produce notebook chips

Intel’s China-based Fab 68 will produce 65nm silicon exclusively when it goes online early next year, Intel has announced. The announcement is something of a surprise, since Intel had been restricted by US government export regulations from exporting high-end semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China, and when Fab 68 goes online, 65nm will be only two nodes behind the cutting edge.
