Fake Movie Trailers

Nov 13th

Posted by AbsoluteZero in Daily Links

There’s a guy on YouTube that is making trailers for movies that don’t really exist. He’s putting pieces of other clips together but he seems to be pretty good at video editing because he’s able to dress them up in the trailer. Here’s the link to his channel and I included an example below…

Mac Vs PC
Well, how freakin interesting…Seems no matter how much of an Apple Fanboy you are *cough*maveric*cough*, there are some things you just need a good PC for. Man, I think this pretty much sums it up. I suppose Apple is destined to play second fiddle.

OpenRouter
Some of us have been using aftermarket firmware (DDWRT, OpenWRT, Tomato) for our routers for some time now (some sooner than others…yea, I said it) in order to get the most out of them, but it looks like one of the brand names finally decided to release a router specifically made for open source firmware.

Mice
Microsoft released a nice video of some of their mice prototypes that we can wish we had. Personally, I’m interested in the “Side Mouse”.

Video I was directed to as a result of a rather interesting conversation…Thanks Mike!

I thought this quote was awesome:

“I asked two people at NVIDIA why Fermi is late; NVIDIA’s VP of Product Marketing, Ujesh Desai and NVIDIA’s VP of GPU Engineering, Jonah Alben. Ujesh responded: because designing GPUs this big is “f#cking hard”.

Insta-boot Windows; Post Windows 7

Sep 25th

Engadget:
Phoenix is showing off a few interesting things at IDF, but the real standout is their new Instant Boot BIOS, a highly optimized UEFI implementation that can start loading an OS in just under a second. Combined with Windows 7’s optimized startup procedure, that means you’re looking at incredibly short boot times — we saw a retrofitted Dell Adamo hit the Windows desktop in 20 seconds, while a Lenovo T400s with a fast SSD got there in under 10. It’s pretty slick stuff, and it should be out soon.

Umm…..wow….

Julie188:
You’ve likely heard of Microsoft’s next-gen operating system projects Midori and Singularity, but earlier this month researchers released a prototype for another OS, code-named Barrelfish. Barrelfish is an OS written specifically for multicore environments. It hopes to improve the performance of boxes with such chips by creating a network bus, if you will, between cores. Today such systems tend to share resources like memory. As demand increases, performance of the box decreases as shared resources don’t scale well. Barrelfish instead passes messages between cores on its bus, and reportedly uses a database-like approach to keep track of the hardware available.
