Google Project 10 to the 100

¢mindfuckx:iconmindfuckx: reports, September 25
"At Google, we don't believe we have the answers, but we do believe the answers are out there. Maybe in a lab, or a company, or a university -- but maybe not.

Maybe the answer that helps somebody is in your head, in something you've observed, some notion that you've been fiddling with, some small connection you've noticed, some old thing you have seen with new eyes.
If you have an idea that you believe would help somebody, we want to hear about it. We're looking for ideas that help as many people as possible, in any way, and we're committing the funding to launch them. You can submit your ideas and help vote on ideas from others. Final idea selections will be made by an advisory board."

Google will donate a $10 million sponsorship to the top 5 ideas.
So what are you still doing here ?

Adobe Flash Player 10 beta, a peek into the future

=djmirage:icondjmirage: reports, May 18
On thursday Adobe released the first beta of Flash Player 10, it allows us to see some of the great innovations Adobe has put into the player since it acquired Macromedia in 2005.

The new killer features include hardware acceleration, a completely revamped text engine, an enhanced drawing API which improves the performance a lot, and a new datatype called Vector. The Vector datatype is an array, that may only contain 1 other datatype, this speeds up array processing.

Furthermore, a sneak preview of Adobe Pixel Bender is released. This software allows you to create "shaders" which can be used as effects, blendmodes etcetera. A shader is programmed in their own language, which is based on GLSL (OpenGL Shader Language), which is C-based. This allows many people to develop their shaders with ease.

There are also enhancements in other area's such as streaming, FileReference classes, and the maximum imagesize is doubled.

You can find more info here, together with some nice demo's.
