Συνέντευξη David Lynch

I am a big-time David Lynch nut. I remember having to steal a copy of Blue Velvet and watch it at a friend’s house because my parents thought it was too sketchy for me to see at 12. I watched each episode of Twin Peaks the night that it originally aired. I saw Wild at Heart and Fire Walk With Me on their opening days. For my money, this guy has made some of the most original, thrilling, deep, and beautiful cinema ever, ever, ever.

So just because you care, here are my favorite David Lynch things in descending order from the best on down to the simply very great:

• The episodes of Twin Peaks that he directed
• Blue Velvet
• Inland Empire
• Mulholland Drive
• Wild at Heart (this was at the top of the list when I was 15)
• Fire Walk With Me
• The Elephant Man
• Eraserhead
• Dune
• His early shorts
• Catching the Big Fish

USB 3.0 και SATA 3.0 και αηδίες

Light Peak FTW!

USB 3.0 = 4.2 Gbit/s
SATA 3.0 = 6.0 Gbit/s
Light Peak = 10.0 μέχρι και 100.0 Gbit/s

Όλε λέμε. Όλε.

Αλλά το πραγματικό ΟΛΕ το λέμε γιατί στην διεθνή παρουσίαση του Light Peak η Intel χρησιμοποίησε Mac OS X Snow Leopard αντί για την αηδία που λέγετε Windows 7.



Δεν σας χάλασε Μπεεεε!

Ποδόσφαιρο και αηδίες

Ντεμέκ. Δήθεν. Και καλά ποδόσφαιρο. Δείτε αυτό και κλάψτε. Τόσα χρόνια λάθος αθλητές σας τα τρώνε. Μπεεεε.

Θεοί ;)

Δεν άργησε πολύ

για να ξεφτιλίσουν την Micro$oft με τις παπαροδιαφημίσεις σχετικά με τα πάρτι της κυκλοφορίας της παπαροWindows 7 έκδοσης του χειρότερου λειτουργικού στον πλανήτη σε ολόκληρη την ιστορία των Η/Υ.

Η παπαροδιαφήμιση της M$:


Η διορθωμένη έκδοση:


Αυτά είναι! Τώρα μπορώ να δω τη διαφήμιση ξανά και ξανά!

Να είναι καλά η Google βρε...

Που σας κάνει ανθρώπους γιατί εσείς παραείστε ΖΩΑ. Παλιομπεεεε.

Άκουσε εκεί, λέει, ακόμη δουλεύετε τον Internet Explore 6. Α ρε τρομπόνια. Ζώα. Για κλοτσομπουνίδια είστε.

Τώρα θα μου πείτε γιατί να αλλάξω σε Internet Explorer 7 ή 8; Τα ίδια σκατά δεν είναι;

Ναι, δεν λέω. Αλλά βρε καμμένοι! Υπάρχει Το Firefox. Το Chrome. Το Opera. Το Safari. Και ένα σωρό άλλα προγράμματα για το Διαδίκτυο.

Έλεος δηλαδή.

Α. Τι έλεγα;

Ναι. Σωστά. Η Google προσπαθεί να σας κάνει ανθρώπους.

A number of modern Web features cannot be used pervasively on the Internet because Microsoft's dominant browser, Internet Explorer, often fails to support current and emerging standards. Google has a plan to drag IE into the world of modern browsing by building a plugin that will allow it to use Chrome's HTML renderer and high-performance JavaScript engine.

Microsoft has recently taken promising steps forward by engaging with the standards community and adding much-needed features in Internet Explorer 8. Although this demonstrates a willingness to improve, it doesn't change the fact that Microsoft is still lagging far behind other browser vendors. Perhaps more troubling than the deficiencies of IE8 is the tragic longevity of IE6, which was released in 2001 and is long overdue for retirement. Some companies unfortunately cannot give it up, either, because they depend on proprietary Web software that only supports legacy versions of IE.

Google hopes that delivering Chrome's rendering engine in an IE plugin will provide a pragmatic compromise for users who can't upgrade. Web developers will be able to use an X-UA-Compatible meta tag to specify that their page should be displayed with the Chrome renderer plugin instead of using Internet Explorer's Trident engine. This approach will ensure that the Chrome engine is only used when it is supposed to and that it won't disrupt the browser's handling of legacy Web applications that require IE6 compatibility.

Installing a plugin is arguably less disruptive to users than migrating them to a different browser. It is unclear, however, if IT departments that refuse to upgrade their users to a better browser are going to be comfortable deploying new plugins. I discussed this issue with Google software engineer Alex Russel and group product manager Mike Smith who cited the ubiquity of Flash as an example of how the plugin strategy could have the potential to move the Web forward.

Υπάρχουν περισσότεροι σκλάβοι από ποτέ

The world suffers global recession, enormous inequity, hunger, deforestation, pollution, climate change, nuclear weapons, terrorism, etc. To those who say we’re not really making progress, many might point to the fact that at least we’ve eliminated slavery.

But sadly that is not the truth.

One hundred forty-three years after passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and 60 years after Article 4 of the U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights banned slavery and the slave trade worldwide, there are more slaves than at any time in human history -- 27 million.

Today’s slavery focuses on big profits and cheap lives. It is not about owning people like before, but about using them as completely disposable tools for making money.

During the four years that Benjamin Skinner researched modern-day slavery, he posed as a buyer at illegal brothels on several continents, interviewed convicted human traffickers in a Romanian prison and endured giardia, malaria, dengue and a bad motorcycle accident.

But Skinner is most haunted by his experience in a brothel in Bucharest, Romania, where he was offered a young woman with Down syndrome in exchange for a used car.

Όπως είπε και ο σοφός:
"Ο καλύτερος σκλάβος είναι αυτός που πιστεύει ότι είναι ελεύθερος"

Και ξέρουμε πολύ καλά ότι το 90% από εμάς, πραγματικά, πιστεύουμε ότι είμαστε ελεύθεροι. Έτσι;

Η επόμενη κάρτα γραφικών του Mac Pro;

Κάτι τέτοιο μου μυρίζεται...

The newcomer is AMD’s spiffy new Radeon HD 5870. With an 850MHz engine clock and 1,200MHz GDDR5 clock, AMD’s new progeny looks like it has the chops to take on Nvidia. But we’ve been disappointed by promising GPUs from AMD’s graphics division in the past.

Not this time.

We tested three cards (also tossing in AMD’s previous best, the Radeon HD 4890) in a Core i7 975 system with 6GB of RAM, running on an Asus Rampage II X58 motherboard. All that CPU horsepower is to ensure that the benchmarks stress the graphics card, rather than be held back by CPU or RAM. We used Windows 7 Ultimate RTM as the OS.

After the smoke cleared, the 285 GTX looked like a tired fighter who’d been rope-a-doped and KO’d. The performance differences aren’t minor, they’re huge: The Radeon HD 5870 was 63 percent faster in Crysis, 32 percent faster in Far Cry 2, 33 percent faster in STALKER, and even 24 percent faster in Battleforge, an RTS that’s arguably more dependent on CPU than graphics.

This round of the endless GPU wars, then, is clearly owned by AMD, at least for single-GPU cards. And with performance like this, who wants the heat and power consumption of a dual-GPU card.

On the other hand, we won’t count Nvidia out. While Nvidia’s current high end is now relegated to the status of also-rans, the company is slaving away on its DirectX 11 GPU, code-named GT300. When that ships, expect a rematch.
