| iTunes 10: Fix the Vertical Buttons 11/09/2553 06:04 iTunes 10’s interface is a significant step backwards from its predecessor. The monochrome sidebar makes it harder to pick items out, as you only have the shape of the icon to go by. The new album list view takes up too much horizontal space, while the one from iTunes 9 was fairly efficient with it. [...] |
| Parsing Lua Scripts With PHP 11/09/2553 06:04 Lua is a lightweight scripting language designed to be embedded in larger programs in order to allow for user customization. The most popular application to include a Lua interpreter is probably World of Warcraft. The entire user interface is customizable through Lua scripting, and a sizable community of plugin developers has grown around it.

| Google Instant: Search as You Type 11/09/2553 06:04 This past Wednesday, Google started rolling out the latest evolution of their search engine. “Google Instant,” as they call it, enables you to execute your searches significantly faster. It’s like the existing Suggest feature, only more so. The search results appear as you type, updating as you go.
This video demonstrates it well:

| Augmented Reality: Augmenting the art world 11/09/2553 04:02 http://thecreatorsproject.com/blog/augmented-reality-augmenting-the-art-world
“It’s no secret that we’re fascinated with developments in augmented reality here at The Creators Project. We’ve featured the real-word virtual modification technology in the work of fashion designer and creator Carrie Mundane (aka Cassette Playa), as well as the graphic T-shirts of DJ Hell (another upcoming creator), and the visionary speculative 3D augmented reality [...] |
| Augmented Reality: design-fiction translation glasses 11/09/2553 04:02 *Realtime augmented visual text-translation for the hearing-impaired. An obvious application, and a lot easier than projecting mobile 3-d images. It’s student work.
*Sensory augmentation for those who actually need it. You’d think that technology would naturally flow in a direction like that…. And you would think wrong.

*Contemporary civilized people ought to read the syllabus there on general principles.
*Also, if you’re a screechy, virulent, long-tail global-guerrilla lunatic, exploiting networks in order to wreck contemporary civilization, this coursework should prove mighty handy for you, too. |
| Swiss Roombots 11/09/2553 04:02 *Those gizmos are seriously messed-up. They have no central controllers and can evolve their own locomotion in realtime. They’re like something out of a Rucker novel.

| Augmented Reality: R10SD drone display system 11/09/2553 04:02 *At last: cheap, rugged, and long-range enough for the smallest global-guerrilla movement.

| Recensie: The Green Pajamas - The Complete Book Of Hours 11/09/2553 00:38 Book of Hours werd oorspronkelijk uitgebracht in 1987. Luisterend naar de plaat zou je eerder eind jaren zestig, begin jaren zeventig gokken. De nummers hebben duidelijke psychpop-elementen, maar ook een vrij conventionele songstructuur. In 1987 deed de plaat niet zoveel.... |
