I'll just go through the positive things first: Well done, Bruce Dell and the rest of Euclideon - not the least for having made a very quick search algorithm for their voxel-based render. This is no small feat, and considering the size of the company, impressive. Their technology could be able...
I've got a few questions:
1) What is the memory footprint of the Island they talked about in the video? What about objects like the elephant? The tree? Is the objects primarily storage device intensive, or local RAM intensive?
2) Can shaders or other effects be applied to objects? Can the...
I dunno, I will try it first. It actually looks like something that could add to the driving experience, but it depends heavily on the implementation. I don't know about you, but sometimes I actually used the right stick in Forza 3 in order to see my rearview mirrors and/or right mirror...
Yes, the Xbox360 is halfway through it's cycle. That doesn't mean that MS will not release a new console by 2013, and let the Xbox360 live its golden years as a secondary, cheap, console platform - That's what Sony do with their PS2, and it is a very profitable strategy.
I'm thinking about replacing my trusty laptop, and this looks like a very good replacement. Kudos to AMD for delivering something a lot of people actually need.
In Denmark, where I live, PS3 games outsell the 360 ones almost between 3:1 to 2:1 (looking at 2010 sales). The Playstation brand is still quite strong in Europe, but it doesn't help that MS is still very US centric about their features and services on their console. (having a movie rental...
It's only as good as the competition - and this demo doesn't really seem to be superior compared to what we've seen from Qualcomm and PowerVR imo...
here's a Adreno 220 (Qualcomm) demo

And I'm not a fan of Nvidia's business model on Android - seems like Nvidia likes to...
Considering the hardware of the Xbox360, Crysis 2 looks much better than I anticipated. Comparing it to the PC version is fun, put pointless nonetheless. It should come as no surprise, that if you have a mid-to-high end gaming PC, Crysis 2 will look better. Move along.
I've got an Xbox 360, Jasper model, and Kinect. No problems whatsoever.
The early launch models, and even the Falcon revisions of the console seem prone to failure, from what I've experienced, seen and heard. However beginning from the Jasper models and onward, the failure rate seem more in...
I've had this motherboard for two months now - best motherboard I've had. And I have built more than a few machines over the years.
Good review that more or less matches my experience.
I've used a creditcard to straighten the pins.. The thickness of the card seem to match the space between pins more or less perfectly. As always, be careful, though.
