It would be interesting to see what the impact would be in a more limited context as you suggest. Also, having it as part of a toolkit would lessen the burden and allow for continuous optimization. Exciting times!

Wouldn't that be too taxing on battery life? I'd rather have WebGL used for 3D games or visualizations where I at least know the impact beforehand rather than like flash or as a CSS animation alternative.

I would love to see this with a giant screen. The iPad is great but kids needs space and room to play. Great start and I really feel that things like this will have a great impact in the future.

Where has this been all these years? No idea if this project works (depends on a local Mac so that ruins it for me), but it kills me that we can AirPlay to TV's and run high resolution with bluetooth keyboard/mouse hookup and sti

Syntax is hard to read and easy to make mistakes in considering how it overloads every letter of the alphabet as a command, but the extreme speed pays off I think.

I think this is a great move, but why not enhance the run dialog so it works like Spotlight does on OSX: minimal, you type and it automatically searches. I like the start menu because its smaller than the start screen, but I prefer my laun

Exactly, except Microsoft has taken it to the logical conclusion we all want supporting all platforms, and sadly Apple hasn't. I have code that runs on both iPhone/iPad and shares most of it with the Mac version yet I have to bui

Can it stitch together much larger captures? eg: a building exterior and interior?

Buy both if you're a developer. If you're a consumer and have money to burn then buy both, otherwise wait for the 2nd dev kit/consumer version. As a developer it is one of the most exciting platforms to work on and watch yo

Don't forget their COO is Laird Malamed who helped with the Guitar Hero hardware. They have already been able to do the right thing with their initial batches and it looks like this is the right step forward for mass-producing the har

1lb! finally a reasonable weight for the full size iPad, I was worried they'd lower it back to the same weight as the iPad 2 rather than make a dramatic change like this.

I don't understand why he can't just modify the driver if he's going to go through all that trouble. Also, NVidia does support 3 monitors under Linux which was the point of this hack so this is confusing on many levels!

I see the article as showing what could be done even with today's technology. The only bottleneck I see is lack of high speed wirless connectivity and a large user-base. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this becomes standard in 50-100 y

I think this is really trying to push the hardware to do something it isn't designed for. Why get this when you can get a Retina Macbook and install Windows on that for less. I believe they are available for around $1350 right now on sale

A retina Macbook Air would have higher virtual density and resolution. This is only 1280x850 vs 1440x900 if you assume a 2x scale factor the way retina does things. It is nice, but 32GB, thicker and only runs a browser limits it compared

Agreed, that is probably a dealbreaker if you can't copy and paste things from a wiki, especially commands or code snippets in an enterprise environment ;) Plus, definitely needs to be downloadable and installable internally for this to ga

Thanks! Great read! I have tutorial levels but none as subtle as this :) I hope that if I ever make a sequel or any other type of game to put that kind of thought and detail into the first level. Certainly I tried with the tutorials, bu
