Some of the technology is a bit weird but they had some interesting stuff at Coachella this year apparently. Although the idea of emulating DEAD PEOPLE is rather creepy and ... disturbing (in the cheap magazine advertisement words 'for fun AND profit'). The holography concert would be a bit...

Commentary on US University of Florida cutting there Comp Sci budget and not there sports football budget.

In order to 'enforce' there patents a large pool of companies have gotten together in order to pool there patents to enforce 'blue' ray compliance, this is the "ONE BLUE" initiative.Another group Premier BD exists for a similar purpose. Lots of politics on this one. None of them good or...

http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-blogs/other/4370919/Sony-pride-turns-to-disillusionment Is a very interesting article. Sony at one time was synonymous with quality innovation and useful things, now it's synonymous with "WTF!?" when looking at what they sell. Don't get me started on the...

This might be a bit on the odd side of things (scary enough it even has to do with emulation). I would like to be able to open 'files' in an ISO image for reading, my problem is I prefer to do this using NORMAL C++ stream operators. I've been reading this bit of information but it's a bit weak...

I thought some of you might be interested in seeing what intel has done to it's next gen CPU architecture. Cyb

I know most of you use your iPad (for whatever it is you do with an iPad I guess). However some of us like to rip things apart and find out what's in them. This post is for those of us who ask the big question "hey is that a Fairchild semi class D amplifier or a Wolfson electronics Audio A2D...

I was reading EEtimes and found this rather interesting (if not imbibing article). I don't drink myself but I thought some will find it funny. Also do note TOO much beer can bring out the some real problems (some people fight when intoxicated). Cyb

IBM has hit the 1Tbps rate (yes 1000000000000 bits per second), or think of it this way, you can send your 3T hard drives contents in roughly 25 seconds across a network. THAT is if you could get the data out fast enough. However also in the news are optical links built into the IC's this is...

I appear to be having a bit of trouble getting cmake to setup the build for dolphin This is what I did git clone https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/ this created a directory dolphin-emu cd dolphine-emu mkdir build cd build cmake .. This resulted in most things being happy then it...

I know you have all been baiting with weighted breath on Windows 8 I know I know. (cough) anyhow a preview. Some of the comments are somewhat amusing (if you consider MS history with OS introductions). It's just a photo show mostly, that doesn't make how it works worth beans. I do wonder why...

Most people like iCandy err iPhone iPad iPod I have yet to here of an iTV but hey I'm sure it's been thought of. well I got the iOutOfStuff, pun intended I generally like to fiddle with tech stuff and see what I can do. So if people want to REALLY play with some low cost toys that are fun go...

I thought this was interesting but a tad humorous at the same time. We can have quantum computers, but only if super cooled so they can be read with conventional systems. Currently it's quite exotic and also quite far away to anything useful. So JUST before half of us are DEAD this will be...

This article indicates Intel is having a 3 week delay. No reasons stated although much speculation is available otherwise (LOL). I thought all the salivating first adoptee's here would want to know that it's 3 weeks more before they can .. first adopt? Cyb

I saw this picture of an engineers office and had to laugh. Here are a few very famous engineers desks, Jim Williams for example. Another would be Bob Pease (scarey his was). For one of my coworkers I have been looking for a an avalanche sign for his office (he skis a lot so it's quite...

Gnome desktop I've used since about 2002 under linux. It worked great etc. I had heard some misgivings and groanings about Gnome 3. I believe I understand why people aren't all that thrilled with it. I moved to Gnome 3 because 'gentoo' comunity moved Gnome to that support as 'stable' So...

This is funny if not kind of twisted if you think about it: "A later job started on a Friday morning when I was between jobs and bored. A gum-chewing temp agency secretary saw me walk in, said, "You, buddy, you know Lotus 1-2-3?" I said I did so I started right away Monday at the legal...

Now this one is a bit subtle ... NOT An engineering student was walking across campus when another engineer rides up on a shiny new motorcycle. "Where did you get such a great bike?" asked the first. The second engineer replied "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business...

I am not a baby bummer (err boomer) so this was quite funny.
