Correct, I recall the stock ticker symbol was renamed to JAVA, but not the company.

I haven't seen that. I have seen a rotating camera of a castle spire with the Z buffer culling backwards. It looked strange as the castle seemed to be rotating the wrong way. I recall the skybox was rendered properly adding to the illu

I can explain why this hits a nerve for me. When I was first learning about 3D rendering (in OpenGL/DirectX) I intuitively thought about the screen space being 2D. I was wrong, and it made me confused about a lot of issues, in particul

I've experimented with adding sound to my TRS-80 emulator. It seems like the only workable solution is to use the ScriptProcessorNode callback as the sole source to timing and run the emulator from there. This will still jitter if Jav

This is great news. I've been playing around with audio streams generated by script (DAC emulation) on Chrome/Safari and now I can try Firefox. A key problem (and measure of quality) for me is reducing the latency. I've had t

Certainly not legions but it is worthwhile to step into an Apple store and give your sites a try. I was surprised to find my canvas-based code breaking on the Retina MacBook Pro. FWIW, the cause was getImageData(0, 0, w, h) returning 4 w h

You are definitely thinking a step ahead. Being able to compile existing programs directly would be great. If someone is successfully using those translators I'd like to see it. Porting or re-implementing these kinds of oddball programs is

Looks like two reasons. First to differentiate Lowe's from Home Depot which is using Motorola devices (Android?). Second, I imagine they will use the devices as actual phones to contact the employees. No need to PA a clerk to pick up a phon

Looks like Ford may have thought that way, but didn't say it: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2938254

The article goes on to point out how Ford successfully disrupted the market but then lost a lot of market share later by sticking too closely to his original plan.

That's a good warning. My wife always did a quick spoon-to-her-lips check on the food temperature as precaution. Similar idea to squirting the milk on your wrist. As always, pay attention to how the child reacts, too.

Raymond Chen recently posted about 386 B1 problems. In the end Microsoft decided not to support it. I imagine most early 386 chips just ran 16-bit MS-DOS code. Raymond's article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/01/12/10114

I see a lot of interesting techniques here. I couldn't figure out is how writes are prevented to code areas in the sandbox. I'd guess they mark pages with code-bundles as read-only but I don't see any specific mention of it. (The article do

I updated the page with a graph from FF4.0b9 which is a bit improved over b8. The Javascript is now respectively similar. You're right about the 80/10 split. FF4's rendering speed is an outlier compared to Safari/Chrome/Opera on the same

I'll update after I get my iPad upgraded. My guess is there will be little difference. I didn't mention in the article, but I have run the emulator on the Wii's Opera browser and the PS3--both slow but the Wii is much faster. The XBOX360 ha
