Video from the April 27th, 2009 Facebook Technology Tasting Event at Facebook Headquarters in Palo Alto. Mark Zuckerberg introduces the event, Dave Morin discusses the new Facebook Open Stream API, Justin Bishop demonstrates the all-new Facebook for Adobe AIR, and Luke Shepard discusses our plans around OpenID. We were also joined by members of the community Chris Messina, talking about ActivityStreams, and David Recordon, talking about OpenID. In addition, several launch partners joined us to talk about what they have already built on the Open Stream API. Including, Loic Le Muer from Seesmic and our friends from Microsoft and Adobe.
Ende des 20-ten Jahrhunderts dachte man, die Realität verschwände irgendwann im Netz. Falsch: Das Netz integriert sich in die physische Welt. Mittels Augmented-Reality-Anwendungen ist es möglich, unsere Welt mit Informationen aus dem Internet anzureichern. Die Wirklichkeit erhält so eine zweite Ebene aus Informationen. Moderne Mobiltelefonen, ausgerüstet mit GPS, Kamera, Kompass und einem Augmented-Reality-Browser, sehen wo wir uns aufhalten und zeigen uns dazu passende Informationen an, beispielsweise die Geschichte eines Denkmals. Aber auch Angaben zu Personen aus sozialen Netzwerken oder Werbung lassen sich einblenden.
There is a lot of talk that this camera could replace current HDV cameras, and maybe even substitute higher end 1080p video cameras. But the Canon 5D Mark II has several huge flaws that will keep professional cinematographers from using it. First off, the BIGGY... ROLLING SHUTTER. The Nikon D90 was a major disappointment because if this, and the new Canon only fairs slightly better. There's no away around it, but you can vastly reduce the chances of it being visible by mounting the camera onto a tripod, steadicam or shoulder rig. But if you're like most people, you wanted this because you could just carry it around and shoot video whenever you wanted to. Well, then you need to prepare yourself for some obvious shakiness from your hands and the rolling shutter wobble that goes with it. (There are two shots around 2:30 where I was walking on some stairs and applied a motion smoothing filter to the footage to reduce the rolling shutter effect. As you will see, it actually

After the jump, read the FAQ on HTML5 / H.264 >>Q. What is the big change? A. Previously, TEDTalks videos on TED.com were only delivered using the Flash platform. Since Flash is not generally available on mobile devices, you could not watch our videos on TED.com through your phone browser. So we modified our site, and now use an HTML5 video player — showing video encoded to the H.264 codec — to deliver video to the majority of mobile devices accessing TED.com. What it means is: Now, on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad running iPhone OS 3.0 or later, you can watch videos on TED.com, using the phone’s web browser. Since Android devices do not yet support HTML5 video in the browser, the experience is slightly different. You will need to click to view in the native video player.

Harte Zahlen zur Rechenleistung künftiger Nvidia-GPUs gab es jedoch nicht, die Einheit, in der Huangs Roadmap auf der Vertikalen skaliert ist "GFlops pro Watt". Wie der Nvidia-Mitbegründer betonte, ist die Rechenleistung nicht das Problem, sondern die "Power Wall". Schon mit den ersten Fermi-Grafikkarten kratzte Nvidia an der Grenze von 300 Watt.
