Twitter: 6 portugueses ultrapassaram os 30.000 seguidores Posted: 07 May 2010 02:00 AM PDT Os números valem o que valem -- e nas redes sociais devem ser tomados com graaaande latitude, pois nem sempre valem alguma coisa. Contudo, são uma das medidas pelas quais as contas no Twitter são sopesadas. E no Twitter há desde há algumas horas seis portugueses com mais de 30.000 seguidores, ou followers. A conta mais recente a superar os 30.000 foi @jafonso -- isto segundo o top do TwitterPortugal.com.
 Esta semana a minha conta passou os 20.000 followers. Sou o 14º honroso classificado daquela tabela, continuando a descer à medida que a rede se alarga :) (Disclaimer: o TwitterPortugal.com é um projecto onde tenho interesses).

Posted: 07 May 2010 10:00 AM PDT We launched the O3D API about a year ago to start a discussion within the web community about establishing a new standard for 3D graphics on the web. Since then, we’ve also helped develop WebGL, a 3D graphics API based on OpenGL ES 2.0 that has gradually emerged as a standard, and is supported by other browser and hardware vendors like Mozilla, Apple and Opera.
At Google, we’re deeply committed to implementing and advancing standards, so as of today, the O3D project is changing direction, evolving from its current plug-in implementation into a JavaScript library that runs on top of WebGL. Users and developers will still be able to download the O3D plug-in and source code for at least one year, but other than a maintenance release, we plan to stop developing O3D as a plug-in and focus on improving WebGL and O3D as a JavaScript library. We did not take this decision lightly. In initial discussions we had about WebGL, we were concerned that JavaScript would be too slow to drive a low-level API like OpenGL and we were convinced that a higher level approach like the O3D scene graph would yield better results. We were also cognizant of the lack of installed OpenGL drivers on many Windows machines, and that this could hamper WebGL’s adoption. Since then, JavaScript has become a lot faster. We've been very impressed by the demos that developers have created with WebGL, and with the ANGLE project, we believe that Chromium will be able to run WebGL content on Windows computers without having to rely on installed OpenGL drivers. The JavaScript implementation of O3D is still in its infancy, but you can find a copy of it on the O3D project site and see it running some of the O3D samples from a WebGL enabled browser (alas, no Beach Demo yet). Because browsers lack some requisite functionality like compressed asset loading, not all the features of O3D can be implemented purely in JavaScript. We plan to work to give the browser this functionality, and all capabilities necessary for delivering high-quality 3D content. We’d like to thank the developers who have contributed to O3D by delivering valuable feedback, submitting changes to the plugin and developing applications. To help you convert your application to the new WebGL implementation of O3D, we will keep our discussion group open where our engineering team will answer your questions and provide you with technical advice. For those of you concerned about support for Internet Explorer, we’ll recommend using Google Chrome Frame once it supports WebGL, and hope to see IE implement WebGL natively someday. We hope you will continue working with us and the rest of the WebGL community on moving 3D on the web forward.

Posted: 07 May 2010 01:10 AM PDT  Durante décadas, a certificação THX da Lucasfilm (sim a do George Lucas) era garantia da melhor qualidade visual e sonora nas salas de cinema e equipamento "topo-de-gama", e nos tempos mais recentes começou a surgir em alguns televisores. E agora, alguns "civis" conseguiram ver como tudo se processa, e quais os testes realizados para que um televisor possa receber este galardão. Entre as dúzias de testes efectuados, os visitantes referiram sete:
E isto são apenas alguns dos testes! Não há assim tantos modelos que o mereçam, mas fico feliz por ver que vários modelos LG estão na lista, incluindo não só os LCD LED, como também os seus plasmas 50PK750, and 60PK750... Ora... se bem se recordam, uma das minhas recentes aquisições foi um Plasma, um LG 50PK250... Um modelo que dispensa algumas funcionalidades multimédia (DLNA, USB, ethernet, etc.) mas cujo processamento e qualidade de imagem são exactamente os mesmos que os modelos PK750. Se dúvidas houvesse, fica assim "provada" que realmente foi uma grande aquisição. :) Relativamente à questão da retenção de imagem nos plasmas, de uma imagem poder ficar "queimada" no ecrã (algo que, tendo vindo de um LCD, me causava algum receio) fico satisfeito por saber que o teste THX especifica que: um padrão em "xadrez" estático é exibido durante 2h, e em 10 minutos de utilização do modo de "recuperação", o ecrã tem que recuperar a 98% da qualidade. Portanto... se sobrevive a isto, sobrevive a qualquer uso (e abuso) normal.
