Seven Years Later, Proce55ing Leaves Beta!

Mye fantastisk som er laget med Processing allerede, og endelig er versjon 1.0 her! Enklere måte å komme i gang med avansert datagrafikk programmering finnes nok neppe. :)

That's right. 1.0.

Processing.org: The most important aspect of this release is its stability. However, we have added many new features during the last few months. They include a new optimized 2D graphics engine, better integration for working with vector files, and the ability to write tools to enhance the development environment.

What a great year for Processing. It's really poised to supplant Flash as the center of the art hacking kingdom and has influenced an avalanche of colorful software. Particularly when you think of the really successful offshoots that have surrounded it, such as Processing.js and Arduino.

As it's picked up speed, it's left in its wake a fine pile of code-made clothing, music videos, theatrics and flippant things aplenty. For pleasure and for break time.

Daniel Shiffman: At New York University's graduate ITP program, Processing is taught alongside its sister project Arduino and PHP as part of the foundation course for 100 incoming students each year. At UCLA, undergraduates in the Design | Media Arts program use Processing to learn the concepts and skills needed to imagine the next generation of web sites and video games. At Lincoln Public Schools in Nebraska and the Phoenix Country Day School in Arizona, middle school teachers are experimenting with Processing to supplement traditional algebra and geometry classes.

As Dan's post goes into, it's not just the popularity of Processing that is so exciting. It's one thing for a language to find popularity in the cubicles and server rooms. This is a toolkit that is fighting for legitimacy in classrooms, in the editing rooms, on the dance floors and in basements.

It's almost like Processing is paving a new road for creative hackers that don't go for point-and-click and Flash's deeply nested timeline. Who are, let's just say, smarter than that. And, I mean, beyond that, Processing is open source. You can extend it into new territory.

Huge congratulations to Ben Fry, Casey Reas and the rest of the people who made this happen.

By the way, I've also heard that Dan Shiffman's new book is sensational. I'm sorry to say that Ira Greenberg's book troubled me with its extreme length and textbook pace. Maybe it works okay in a class room. I've always found the online reference to be very good.

Anyone out there actually read Learning Processing, yet?

Bankkrisen forklart for oss som ikke er økonomer... :)

This is an explanation of economics. There's no way to avoid some boring details and glazed eyes when talking about such things. However, I promise to avoid some of the jargon which will send you running to wikipedia, if you in turn forgive me for some oversimplification. The purpose of this article is to explain specific jargon. It will explain the role of FNMA (Fannie Mae) and FHLMC (Freddie Mac), mortgage-backed securities, Credit Default Swaps (CDS), Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO), mark to market, prime, subprime, a run, the Community Reinvestment Act, and liquidity in the current situation. These terms will be introduced as gently as possible. There's a lot of ground to cover, but what follows is a resource which will help you to understand these frequently used buzz words.

T-Mobile G1 Google Android Phone Review [Google Android]

2008-11-25T10:37:00.026+01:00

Shared by Helge
Enda en dyptpløyende omtale av Google Android telefonen.

There is a lot riding on the shoulders of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone. In some ways, it carries the collective hopes of Linux, open source and Google fans everywhere. It's open, collaborative and community-based, in other words, everything the iPhone and Windows Mobile aren't. As so many onlookers crowd around this newborn phone, there's no way it can hold up all of their expectations—and it doesn't.

After spending a week using the G1, I can say it's a good start, and a clear indication of good Android developments to come. But the phone itself has some serious problems with accessibility and usability, issues that no number of third-party apps are going to be able to solve. Here's what I loved and hated about the T-Mobile G1.

Th e Hardware
Body: The body was made by HTC, a Taiwanese company that makes Windows Mobile devices for Motorola, Palm and its own line. This phone is built just like those. The back is classic matted and grip-friendly HTC. The swivel-flip feels almost exactly like earlier HTC phones, only it extends out and then back in again, revealing the keyboard underneath. This motion gives a satisfying snap when opened, though it might be too loud in a quiet office.

Keyboard: It's got numerous problems. First, it's set so that the raised section on the right, with scroller ball and home and menu keys, is always in your way when you're trying to type. This is annoying, even after you figure out how to work around it. The individual keys aren't raised high enough ov er the body for easy touch typing, though at least the keyboard is backlit, in case you're texting in the dark. The space and backspace key are tinier than we'd like. And it's even more awkward than normal to type while charging the phone, because the miniUSB cable is in the way.

Buttons: There are five face buttons on the device—call, home, back, power/end and menu—and they're all fairly straightforward. Hit home to bring you back to the home screen, menu to bring up a popup menu in your current app, and power/end button to lock your phone or hang up your call. That last part takes the most getting used to, since you're naturally going to want to use the red power button to quit apps or end tasks, but all that does is lock your phone.

Trackball: It feels great, better than on the BlackBerry Pearl, and it cli cks down solidly. Still, switching between the trackball and the touchscreen can get awkward.

Screen: The touchscreen is bright, renders text clearly and is, on the whole, pretty great. It uses capacitive touch, like the iPhone, so you use your fingertip, not a stylus, to poke around. There are cases when screen presses don't register properly—they're not too often, but often enough to be noticeable.

Battery: A full charge lasts about a day, mainly because push Gmail grabs the internet every time the account receives an email, and mine receives plenty. Couple that with 3G data browsing and app usage—which you're most likely going to be doing a lot of—and you'll need to get used to a mid-day charge at work. Thankfully charging from near empty to near full takes only about two hours.

Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi range seems slightly to be on par with comparable smartphones (HTC's Windows Mobile phones, iPhone), showing just about as many Wi-Fi hotspots in my house as the other ones did.

3G: I got noticeably decent browsing speeds, with an actual test registering 433kbps. This, of course, is only the case if your city has 3G access at all, since T-Mobile's only just starting to roll out their network.

Camera: It's passable and on par with previous HTC efforts. It does have autofocus, but other than that there's nothing spectacular with the G1's camera.

GPS: GPS is actually off by default, which produces a very inaccurate location when you try and find yourself on Google Maps. You'll have to switch this on manually.

Other Issues: It's hard to fathom why HTC left out a 3.5mm headphone jac k in 2008, same for USB mass storage mode for Windows or Mac. Really? You have to pop out that microSD card and use a card reader every time you want to load a ringtone or a song or a photo or a video? Seriously? Also, when the screen is flipped open, it's tilted down about three degrees—really annoying to certain people who like clean lines.

Operating System and Usability
Calling: Making phone calls on this thing works well. Call quality is good, but the screen annoyingly times out after about 10 seconds. If you want to power on the screen again, you have to hit the menu key or the "call" key, which takes you to the dialpad. It may just be that we punch in our credit card numbers or find contacts during a call more often than most people, but always having to bring up the screen again is a pain. And pressing the power/end button, which yo u'd think would power up the screen, actually just hangs up the call. Annoying. But as for the actually making calls part? No complaints from us.

Texting: Texts are arranged per contact in threads, and works well enough since texting is so simple. No cockups here.

Stability: The one word I'd use to describe the Android operating system is "solid". It's been my main device for a week, and I've yet to see the entire OS hang or freeze (haven't had to reboot yet). Individual apps have crashed or frozen, but Android handles this spectacularly well by using the PC paradigm where you can choose to Force Quit a frozen app or wait for it to unstick itself. This way, very little can take down the entire phone under everyday use. (Buggy hardcore apps that snake deep into core functions could probably succeed.)

Background Apps: Multitasking is one thing Android does really well. Apps can run in the background, receiving data and continuin g to "exist," even though you don't see them. The OS handles memory management for you invisibly, giving processes a lower CPU priority and taking away their RAM when other programs need it. For now, examples are simple, like opening a browser, then a bunch of other apps, then returning to the browser. You can use four or five apps before before the browser has to re-fetch data on the web page. Presumably, programmers will soon make more impressive use of the background processing power.

Window Shade: Google's most unique multitasking helper is the notification window shade, which serves as an infodump of all incoming emails, messages, IMs and missed calls. Tapping a notification will take you to its corresponding app. No matter what app you're in, the shade drops smoothly into place when you pull it down, dragging your finge r from the top. (Just opposite the window shade is the pull-up app menu. If you run out of room on your three desktop screens, you'll be visiting here for lesser used programs.)

Long Clicks: One convention that's used often—but not consistently—is the long press. Long presses are a mix between right clicking and playing the lottery. Hold down an area of the screen—you may see a menu pop up or you may get absolutely nothing. Long click on the main screen and it asks you which app shortcut you want to move to your desktop. Long click on the text message screen and you'll be prompted to delete or view a thread. Long click on Google Maps or a page in the browser, however, and nothing happens.

Interface: As we have observed, the UI suffers from general usability issues such as inconsistent actions or surprisingly unclickable regions like the browser's URL bar or the home screen's clock. But when you use it, you realize it is kinda pretty. Like th e window shade, many of the transparencies, transitions, fade-ins, fade-outs, popups and other UI elements are slick, and definitely win out in aesthetics over smartphones like Windows Mobile. Compared to the iPhone, it still loses, but this comes down to a lack of multitouch capability—on the G1, for instance, you zoom by clicking and - magnifier buttons. Like I said, it's definitely a solid OS, but it also needs some real work by some UI experts to make it easier to pick up and play with.

Apps
Contacts: Phone contacts sync nicely with Google's Gmail contacts—great if you use Gmail, and an extra place to backup your contacts if you don't. You can even scroll through them fast by dragging a bar on the right. The problem though is that the quick-scroll dragger is hyper-sensitive, and holding your finger still in one place can make the phone jitter between letters. Each contact has a default phone number displayed under his name—when you tap a contact it feels like you're dialing his number, even though you're just pulling up details.

Mail: There are actually two mail programs on the G1: Mail and Gmail. Mail lets you manage five accounts, while Gmail makes you tie your phone to just one account. But Gmail is one of the best apps on the phone, giving you 90% of the desktop features you use on a day-to-day basis. Archiving, labeling, reporting spam, deleting and starring are super easy and sync to webmail almost instantly. The best part of this Gmail implementation is that it's push ~~the only push Gmail on any mobile device~~ (Helio's phones also have it). T-Mobile failed to mention its cool keyboard shortcuts—I had to fiddle to figure out that you can hit "r" for reply or "a" to reply all. (Surely there are more.) A dumb flaw is that it won't a uto-complete names when you start with someone's last name. I have to sort through 10 Brians to find Lam's address, when I should be able to just type Lam and have this be smart enough to figure out who I mean.

Marketplace: The Marketplace is divided into Games and Applications, with sub-categories such as Lifestyle, Productivity, Shopping and Tools. Downloading and installing apps are pretty much 1-click, like the iPhone App Store, and most apps launch just fine. However, since most developers don't have an actual Android phone to test their apps on, a lot of programs will be sluggish or even crash-prone in the first few weeks. Expect this to be fixed soon.

IM: The IM app is a very good client that supports AIM, Google Talk, Windows Live (MSN), and Yahoo. It's intuitive, works well with the keyboard and even offers background notification—un like iPhone—so you can switch to other apps but still get incoming messages delivered to you via the top status bar.

Browser: The G1 browser, like Chrome on the desktop, is based on WebKit, the open source browser engine that also powers Safari and Mobile Safari. This means it's pretty damn good. That said, the lack of multitouch gestures in Android's version makes zooming a pain. It doesn't have Flash support (YouTube gets forwarded to the YouTube app) and it doesn't auto-zoom to maximize the column you want to read in your display. It can, however, remember your password for logins, like a desktop browser does.

Google Maps: Gmaps has most of what you'll find in the desktop version, including Satellite, Tr affic and Street View. Once you turn on GPS, the phone's fairly decent at locating where you are even indoors, and Compass View is a gimmick that works sometimes and doesn't work other times—but then again, spinning around like an idiot makes you look like an idiot all the time.

Music Player: It's no iPod, but the G1's built-in music player gets the job done decently. It fits in fairly well with the rest of the Android experience, but we're definitely looking at third-party apps like TuneWiki to pick up the slack here. That's not to say the Music app is bad—it's perfectly fine. It's just not great.

Third-Party Apps: Some of the more promising apps like Tunes Remote, TuneWiki and Video Player aren't as fleshed out and stable as we like. Tunes Remote lags and crashes a lot, TuneWiki can't find our music and Video Player only supports a handful of cod ecs. We expect these all to be fixed soon. Other apps like AccuWeather, Barcode Scanner and Pac-Man work just fine despite being developed on the Android emulator. We're looking forward to good things here.

Verdict
The G1 phone and the Android operating system are not finished products. There are only three working Google Apps here—Gmail, Maps and Calendar—while Google Docs, Google News, Google Reader, Google Shopping, Google Images, Google Video, Blogger and Picasa are nowhere to be found. What's the deal?

We have high hopes for third-party coders to fill in gaps Google intentionally or unintentionally left in this OS. There's already a video player, and we're sure VLC will try and port some kind of version over. But your question is not whether the phone will be great down the line, it's whether or not it's good enough for you to buy it now.

The answer depends most on who you are. Despite all the UI quirks and bad design decisions, it's still better than other smartphone OSes out there. It's not perfect, but for people who like tinkering, its cons are outweighed by its pros such as Gmail and the Marketplace. Hopefully Android updates and more ports of Google apps will augment not just future phones but this one too. This isn't something you're going to give your mom for Christmas, but if you're an adventuresome gadget guy with some money to spend ($179) on a totally new, pretty exciting venture, then why not?

iTunes 8 Makes It Easy to Convert Any File to an Audiobook [ITunes]

2008-11-25T10:37:00.025+01:00

Shared by Helge
Horribelt at dette har vært såpass vanskelig til nå. Finnes et utall forskjellige AppleScript og lignende som har gjort dette for deg, men endelig kan man gjøre dette på en enkel og grei måte. :)

iTunes 8 has added simple under-the-radar feature that allows you to quickly and easily tag any file in your iTunes library as an audiobook and move it into the Audiobooks section of iTunes and your iPod. The simple trick? Just right-click a track and select Get Info, head to the Options tab, and then select Audiobook from the Media Kind drop-down menu. The file will instantly leave your Music library and head straight for your Audiobook library. To mark multiple files at once, just select them all and go through the same process. The only remaining step is to tick the Remember Position checkbox if you haven't already, and your tracks should now have easily found their way to your Audiobooks section, and even better, they should work like an audiobook. Finally. Thanks Brett!

MiniTube Adds Music Videos to Winamp [Featured Windows Download]

Shared by Helge
Ganske artig idé egentlig. Må nesten prøve ut denne pluginen.

Windows only: Winamp plug-in MiniTube adds YouTube videos to your music playlist. Fire up MiniTube when you want to see your music as well as hear it, and it searches YouTube for a video that matches the metadata on your MP3 file, and starts playing it along with the music automatically. In theory this is awesome, but MiniTube's implementation falls short in one main way: the video often starts after the song does, so it's not necessarily synced with what you're hearing. If you can't stand being a few beats behind, however, you can opt to listen to the YouTube audio instead of your MP3 file. MiniTube is a free download that works with Winamp. Update: Apologies for the déjà vu.

Vuze Reinvents Its BitTorrent Client

2008-11-25T10:37:00.021+01:00

Shared by Helge
Jeg kjører konsekvent Vuze med den gamle brukerinterfacen. Blir spennende å se om den nye kanskje er mer brukendes enn Vuze 3.0.

Vuze, formerly known as Azureus, will soon launch version 4.0 of their BitTorrent client. Inspired by feedback from users, the user interface has been completely revamped. The client itself seems to move towards an all-in-one solution, with built in search and a built in media player.

The first version of the Java based BitTorrent client Azureus was more than 5 years ago, and a lot of things have changed since then. Azureus was renamed to Zudeo, and later to Vuze. Backed by millions of dollars in venture capital the company launched its own distribution platform, which alienated some of its early users.

With the latest release, 4.0, Vuze once again introduces quite a few changes. The difference this time is that they emphasize more on the BitTorrent experience than their Vuze Network. The UI is more lightweight, less cluttered, and should appeal to both novices and hardcore BitTorrent users (old UI is still supported).

The most interesting change they made is to include BitTorrent search in the application. This allows users to search all their favorite BitTorrent sites from within the application. Mininova and BTjunkie are included by default, but any site can be added to the search, including private BitTorrent trackers.

We had the chance to discuss some of the major updates to the client with Vuze CEO, Gilles BianRosa.

TF: What was the reason to update the user interface of the client, and how is this new release an improvement to its predecessors?

Gilles: Our new UI has been directly inspired by the feedback of our users, who told us loud and clear that our previous UI was confusing and a little schizophrenic—with core torrent functionality they loved, and new features bolted on in odd places. So we've done a few things.

First and foremost, we've tried to have the application reflect our core functionality, and that's what you'll see across the top of the global toolbar: Find, Download, and Play. Second, you'll see an intuitive left-nav framework that users have responded to extremely well, since it provides direct and persistent access to all of the product features. And finally, you'll see improved category navigation within the Vuze HD Network, to enable our users to browse directly to the type of content that interests them.

Vuze search results

In terms of functionality, there are two key things users will appreciate in this release. First, there's the new subscriptions, and second, there's now private tracker login support for the meta-search functionality that we launched back in June.

TF: How do these new subcriptions work, and how are they different from the regular RSS feature most BitTorrent clients have?

Gilles: The new subscription feature enables users to request that specific content be sent to them automatically. Just click the orange Subscriptions button associated to content in your Library. You can set your subscriptions to download automatically, or simply to notify you when new items are available.

The big innovation here is that these subscriptions are initially created by users (usually power users) and then made available to everyone. This removes entirely the complexity associated with RSS for torrents, which tend to return lots of unwanted or duplicate results. Just click Subscribe!

TF: The latest release seems to offer an "all in one" solution where users can search, download and play content. Do you believe this approach will appeal to both advanced and new users?

Gilles: For the uninitiated, the BitTorrent ecosystem is a confusing one. In order to get up and running, a person has to find a tracker site, choose and download a torrent client, download a video player, and then figure out how each one works and how they all work together. For the new user who isn't shown how it works, it's almost impossible to figure out.

So, for new users, we've created an all-in-one BitTorrent client, that enables them to Find, Download, and Play high quality and HD content, all in one easy-to-use application. We think advanced users will like it too, since Vuze has all of the features it's known for, plus some great new functionality like torrent meta-search with support for private trackers, and Subscriptions. As we've user tested the new Vuze, new and advanced users have found the all-in-one functionality to be both intuitive and powerful.

TF: You said before that you listened to feedback from users. How has this helped to develop the client?

Gilles: This release has been directly inspired by feedback from users. We've surveyed our users in multiple ways, talked with them on the phone, and watched them as they used the last version of Vuze client, as well as prototypes for this new one. We've talked to power users, casual users, and non-users. All of that is reflected in this release. That said, this release is just a foundation for the great things we've got in the development pipeline.

Vuze was scheduled to be launched today, but the release has been postponed for 48 hours. TorrentFreak readers who want to play around with an unofficial early release can grab it from Vuze (Win/Mac).

George Nolfi To Write Fourth Jason Bourne Film

2008-11-25T10:37:00.019+01:00

Shared by Helge
Sweet! :)

So what's the latest on the fourth film in the Jason Bourne series? Last we heard, producer Frank Marshall was hoping to begin shooting next Summer for a 2010 release. Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon have already signed on, all they need now is a script. Today it was announced that Universal is serious about doing a fourth film, hiring George Nolfi to write the script. Not only was Nolfi a co-writer on Bourne Ultimatum, but he also wrote Ocean's Twelve.

The next film in the series will not even be loosely based on one of the novels, but will instead be an entirely new adventure (with a possible South American destination). From what I understand, the sequels to the original Robert Ludlum novels left much to be desired. Lets hope that Nolfi can come up with something better.

2008-11-25T10:37:00.017+01:00

Shared by Helge
Virker som en god førstegenerasjon, men venter nok en stund til jeg skaffer meg en Google Android basert telefon.

As an open source advocate and developer with a serious love/hate relationship with my iPhone, I couldn't wait to get my paws on a device running Google's brand spankin' new open-source mobile phone operating system, Android—and I haven't been disappointed. I've spent the last four days using an HTC G1 phone running the first release of Android, and while it is not an iPhone-killer, it is a killer device for heavy Google users (like you and me). Let's take a look at why Android does—and doesn't—live up to its hype.

Note: Since the iPhone I use as my primary phon e is my sole experience with a touchscreen smartphone operating system, I'm going to base my Android observations on it, even though the iPhone is not the only touchscreen OS out there. (Sorry about that.) Also, when I refer to the iPhone in comparison to Android, I'm talking about the iPhone 2.0 software, and when referring to it in comparison to the G1, I'm talking about the iPhone hardware. Got all that? Good. Let's go.

First, a quick tour around the G1 handset itself. The first thing an iPhone owner notices is that there are a helluva lot of buttons before you even flip out the keyboard: five, to be exact, plus a rubber trackball (that I have come to love, more on that later). Love affair aside, at first all those buttons are confusing and look kind of low-rent next to the iPhone's sleek how-did-they-DO-that single button.

The phone is also fatter, and unlike the iPhone, it has a slight bend at the bottom of it (pictured right). This can become a usability problem for people who like to slide their phone into the front pocket of their jeans. The iPhone slips in there easily; the G1, on the other hand, bulks up your thigh a bit more and that rubber trackball can rub and roll on the fabric inside your pants.

However, despite its tendency to catch on the inside of my jeans pocket, I absolutely love the rubber trackball for scrolling on the G1. From a pure economy of motion standpoint, it's much, much faster to scroll and click using the trackball versus swipe and tap using your finger on the screen. After just a few days, I love the rubber trackball in a kind of scary, illegal-in-some-states way.

The reason for the extra bulk, of course, is the flip-out full QWERTY keyboard on the G1. Having never had a Sidekick or any other phone with a full keyboard, this was a new experience for me—but one I came to enjoy pretty quickly, because with a full keyboard comes context-insensitive keyboard shortcuts and launcher combos. (More on that below.) I wasn't so thrilled with the idea of a big hinge on my phone, but in practice, the G1's screen flips out to display the keyboard in a really smooth, solid motion and it snaps into place with authority. The keyboard buttons actually don't stick out as much as I expected, so pressing them doesn't have that tactile feedback I was hoping for. Still, I make less typing mistakes on this keyboard than the iPhone's touch keyboard.

Unlike the iPhone, the G1 screen is not multi-touch. You can only use one finger to swipe your screens or scroll up and down. This is a bummer for iPhone owners used to the two-finger pinch and expand to zoom in and out, especially during web browsing.

For a closer look at exactly what the hardware's like, see Gizmodo's photo-laden hands on. (Those guys try out phones for a living, so they're assessment on the hardware is far more informed than mine.) As far as my size complaints, see Gizmodo's "Sizemodo" post which compares the G1 to other handsets out there. In short—it's chunky, so you've got to decide if the keyboard makes the bulk worth it.

But let's talk about the main thing we care about here at Lifehacker: the software.

Android Is a Google-User's Dream (Duh)

Android's huge advantage is its tight integration with the Google services you use most—Gmail, GCal, Google Talk, Maps, and YouTube right now, though it's still missing Google Reader, Docs, Bookmarks, and very many other GOOG apps that could come in quite handy on your phone. One can only assume as the software matures those will show up eventually.

Assuming you're already an established Google user, you pop in your Google Account username and password (Google Apps domain accounts work to), and as Steve Jobs would say, BOOM!—you've got your email, contacts list, calendar events, the whole shebang on your phone, over the air, synced with the cloud, no contact with your computer necessary. This wasn't even close to the experience I had with my iPhone, which has required several email account setups and re-setups, and not a small amount of tinkering with my address book and sync ing to my computer to get everything as it should be.

In the course of four days, I still haven't connected the G1 to my computer—everything I need is in the cloud at Google and on the phone, period. This is why heavy Google apps users will want Android.

The software has a lot going on in it, but instead of running through every detail of how you do things, let's look at just a few perks Android on the G1 offers that are worth mentioning.

Android is a Gmail-reading powerhouse.

Never have I had a better experience reading email—specifically Gmail—on a mobile device as I have with Android. Android offers an interface very similar to the web front end of Gmail, with conversations threading, labels, stars, archiving—all the functions you expect from full-on, genuine Gmail. You can also specify, on a per-label basis, what gets synced real-time. To move through conversations you can roll the trackball or flick your finger; typing messages is o bviously easy with the QWERTY keyboard and you can set up email signatures as well. Much to my dismay, Gmail's web-based keyboard shortcuts do NOT work on the G1. Hopefully in a future iteration, you can hit J or K on the keyboard to move forward and back through Gmail conversations.

In addition to the Gmail client, there is a straight-up email client for your other POP and IMAP accounts.

Android offers Google Maps' Street View—and coupled with Compass Mode, it will blow your mind. (When it can actually find your location.)

Like the iPhone, Android is location-aware, and puts Google Maps to good use. You get all the lovely touch panning, zooming, satellite-view, and pinpoint-my-current-location goodness in Google Maps on Android that the iPhone offers. The one eye-popping feature you don't get anywhere else is Google Maps Street View—and a very cool Compass mode, that uses the phone's accelerometer to adjust what you see on screen as you move. Here's a quick clip of Street View Compass Mode enabled. (The clip skips to the Compass Mode part automatically.)

The bad news is that Android was unable to determine my location from several different points in San Diego, which means that any kind of location-aware app won't work as intended. That's a problem—if you're considering a G1, make sure you try it in your area first.

Android offers more options for what you can put on your home screen.

My one huge gripe about the iPhone (and my Nokia before it) was the inability to put a shortcut on the home screen to a n ew text message with my better half's number filled into the To: field. Texting my spouse is the thing I do most often on my phone, so it should be a one-tap or one-click act, and it's not in iPhone 2.0 or Symbian. It's not quite that either in Android, but you can create a shortcut to a specific contact on your home screen, which makes texting my lady a two-tap affair.

You can also add a shortcut to a Gmail label to your home screen, as well as a Google Gadget (yuck, I know—that's what that bigass clock is), a music playlist, and any application or folder as well.

Android puts search front and center.

The "Google phone" would be nothing if it weren't se arch-centric. You can start searching in any context by hitting the Search keyboard button (it's a magnifying glass, pictured right). From the home screen or inside the browser, you can just start typing text to invoke a Google search box and go.

Android includes a notifications bar you can drag down "window shade"-style to see more info.

When you install a new app, download a file, get a new text message, email, or voicemail, Android displays the information in a notification bar across the top of the screen. Here's what an incoming SMS looks like:

You can tap and drag this notifications bar down to expand it and get more information (and clear the items).

Compared to the iPhone's modal pop-up notifications, Android's window shade definitely takes the cake.

Android isn't an iPod—and that's a good and bad thing.

Good news: Android ships with a full-on music player. Bad news: no video player save YouTube. Good news: Android comes with Amazon MP3 included in its applications menu by default, so you can buy your tunes DRM-free (which you cannot do on the iPhone). Bad news: it's no iPod. There's no integration with iTunes, and this may be years of iPod ownership talking, but the music player is not as slick and fun to use as an iPod.

Will a college student with years of "I'm a Mac" commercials burned into her brain and iTunes Store purchases saved to her hard drive opt for Android over an iPod-that-makes-calls-and-sends-texts? Been awhile since I've been a student, but I say most likely not.

Android offers customizable keyboard shortcuts.

The fantastic thing you get with a full QWERTY keyboard? Why, keyboard shortcuts, of course! Android lets you define keyboard combination to launch applications in the settings area.

Sadly you cannot assign a keyboard combination to anything other than an application (like a contact or Gmail label).

Android's application offerings have barely even begun.

We haven't even gotten to the Android Marketplace, where developers will start offering apps that run on Android. Right now Android's apps offerings are pretty slim pickings, but there is an app pretty familiar to iPhone users: the iTunes Remote control app. Here's a video demo of one of our favorite iPhone apps in actio n on Android.

Android iTunes Remote Control from Jeffrey Sharkey on Vimeo.

Android is in desperate need of a screenshot-taking application, by the way—which is why all the screen grabs in this review are from the emulator.

You can copy and paste in Android.

Unlike Apple with the iPhone, Google figured out how to do background tasks and a clipboard in Android. Have a look at how copy and paste works on the Gphone.

Android's web browser is (almost) just as good as Mobile Safari.

As far as I'm concerned, the best part of the iPhone software is Mobile Safari and it's tabbed browsing and touch-zooming and panning. Android's browser (not officially Chrome—yet) offers tabbed browsing like Mobile Safari, and it renders pages just as well (it's based on Webkit, just like Safari). But here's where the lack of multi-touch bites you in the ass: Android's mechanisms for zooming in and out on a page and magnifying an area on-page just doesn't feel as good as Safari's two-finger pinch and expand do to me. That said, Android's browser has hooks into Maps and the phone's dialer mechanisms that Mobile Safari does not. Here's a demonstration of a few neat Android browser tricks.

While Android is impressive, I'm not about to toss ye olde iPhone.

Why I'm Not Trading in My iPhone for a G1

As you can see, Android on the G1 is a sweet setup, if a bit unfinished, and as my love/hate iPhone relationship veers more often into hate these days, it's tempting to make the switch—but I'm not, just yet. Aside from the bulkiness issue mentioned above, T-Mobile's 3G coverage in San Diego is absolutely atrocious. (I know we're a second-tier city, but we're still a city!) As much as I drooled over Android's location-awareness features (like Compass mode), no matter where I tried, in neighborhoods all over San Diego, Android was unable to pinpoint my location.

Also, while Android does a great job of bringing you r Google Account info to the handset, it doesn't handle multiple Google accounts at all. I use one for work and one for personal reasons, and there's no way to easily switch personas in Android right now. All this on top of the fee I'd have to pay to get out of my iPhone contract means I won't be purchasing a G1 with Android any time soon. But as the software matures, apps come out, and my contract comes to an end, there's a great chance I'll change my mind. Now the wait for 2.0 begins.

Update: The gadgetmasters at Gizmodo posted a crazy-thorough review of the G1 and hit on tons of hardware details we glossed over to focus on the software. Here it is: T-Mobile G1 Google Android Phone Review.

Har "savnet over-the-air podcast downloading" fra dag 1. Da er det bare å vente på jailbreakingen. :)

The long-awaited 2.2 firmware updates for iPhones and iPod touch models hit iTunes at midnight last night, pushing a good deal of new features and long-awaited fixes to the mobile devices. We've already detailed some of the major new features already: Street View with walking/transit directions in Google Maps (iPhones only, unfortunately) and "emoji" face emoticons, over-the-air podcast downloading, and, while not really a feature, it's expected that 2.2 will be jailbroken before you know it. There's a good number of interface and usability improvements too, like improved HTML em ail formatting and location sharing, stability and menu bar tweaks to Safari, and a few other punch-list items. I'm downloading my 240MB-ish iPod update just fine this morning; tell us your impressions of 2.2 in the comments.

LittleBigPlanet Delayed Due to Qur'an-Sampling Audio

:(

Several readers have pointed out that Sony's much-awaited LittleBigPlanet has hit a snag and will be delayed worldwide. The delay came after it was discovered that a song licensed for use in the soundtrack contained audio samples from the Qur'an. All advanced copies sent to retailers for the target release of October 21 in North America, 22 in PAL territories, and 24 in the UK and Ireland, have been recalled. "The post, by user 'Solid08', indicates of the specific references in the composition: 'In the 18th second: "kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: "Every soul shall have the taste of death' ... almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "kollo man alaiha fan", literally: "All that is on earth will perish".'"

Mye fantastisk som er laget med Processing allerede, og endelig er versjon 1.0 her! Enklere måte å komme i gang med avansert datagrafikk programmering finnes nok neppe. :)

That's right. 1.0.

Processing.org: The most important aspect of this release is its stability. However, we have added many new features during the last few months. They include a new optimized 2D graphics engine, better integration for working with vector files, and the ability to write tools to enhance the development environment.

As it's picked up speed, it's left in its wake a fine pile of code-made clothing, music videos, theatrics and flippant things aplenty. For pleasure and for break time.

Daniel Shiffman: At New York University's graduate ITP program, Processing is taught alongside its sister project Arduino and PHP as part of the foundation course for 100 incoming students each year. At UCLA, undergraduates in the Design | Media Arts program use Processing to learn the concepts and skills needed to imagine the next generation of web sites and video games. At Lincoln Public Schools in Nebraska and the Phoenix Country Day School in Arizona, middle school teachers are experimenting with Processing to supplement traditional algebra and geometry classes.

Huge congratulations to Ben Fry, Casey Reas and the rest of the people who made this happen.

Anyone out there actually read Learning Processing, yet?

BumpTop is a fresh and engaging new way to interact with your computer desktop. You can pile and toss documents like on a real desk. Break free from the rigid and mechanical style of standard point-and-click desktops. Interact by pushing, pulling and piling documents with elegant, self revealing gestures. BumpTop's stunning interface makes clever use of 3D presentation and smooth physics-based animations for an engaging, vivid user experience.

Enda en dyptpløyende omtale av Google Android telefonen.

Trackball: It feels great, better than on the BlackBerry Pearl, and it cli cks down solidly. Still, switching between the trackball and the touchscreen can get awkward.

Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi range seems slightly to be on par with comparable smartphones (HTC's Windows Mobile phones, iPhone), showing just about as many Wi-Fi hotspots in my house as the other ones did.

Camera: It's passable and on par with previous HTC efforts. It does have autofocus, but other than that there's nothing spectacular with the G1's camera.

GPS: GPS is actually off by default, which produces a very inaccurate location when you try and find yourself on Google Maps. You'll have to switch this on manually.

Texting: Texts are arranged per contact in threads, and works well enough since texting is so simple. No cockups here.

T-Mobile G1 Google Android Phone Review [Google Android]

Shared by Helge
Enda en dyptpløyende omtale av Google Android telefonen.

Trackball: It feels great, better than on the BlackBerry Pearl, and it cli cks down solidly. Still, switching between the trackball and the touchscreen can get awkward.

Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi range seems slightly to be on par with comparable smartphones (HTC's Windows Mobile phones, iPhone), showing just about as many Wi-Fi hotspots in my house as the other ones did.

Camera: It's passable and on par with previous HTC efforts. It does have autofocus, but other than that there's nothing spectacular with the G1's camera.

GPS: GPS is actually off by default, which produces a very inaccurate location when you try and find yourself on Google Maps. You'll have to switch this on manually.

Texting: Texts are arranged per contact in threads, and works well enough since texting is so simple. No cockups here.

A Hands-on First Look at Google Android [Android]

2008-11-21T03:07:00.021+01:00

Shared by Helge
Virker som en god førstegenerasjon, men venter nok en stund til jeg skaffer meg en Google Android basert telefon.

But let's talk about the main thing we care about here at Lifehacker: the software.

Android Is a Google-User's Dream (Duh)

The software has a lot going on in it, but instead of running through every detail of how you do things, let's look at just a few perks Android on the G1 offers that are worth mentioning.

Android is a Gmail-reading powerhouse.

In addition to the Gmail client, there is a straight-up email client for your other POP and IMAP accounts.

Android offers Google Maps' Street View—and coupled with Compass Mode, it will blow your mind. (When it can actually find your location.)

Android offers more options for what you can put on your home screen.

Android puts search front and center.

Android includes a notifications bar you can drag down "window shade"-style to see more info.

You can tap and drag this notifications bar down to expand it and get more information (and clear the items).

Compared to the iPhone's modal pop-up notifications, Android's window shade definitely takes the cake.

Android isn't an iPod—and that's a good and bad thing.

Android offers customizable keyboard shortcuts.

The fantastic thing you get with a full QWERTY keyboard? Why, keyboard shortcuts, of course! Android lets you define keyboard combination to launch applications in the settings area.

Sadly you cannot assign a keyboard combination to anything other than an application (like a contact or Gmail label).

Android's application offerings have barely even begun.

Android iTunes Remote Control from Jeffrey Sharkey on Vimeo.

Android is in desperate need of a screenshot-taking application, by the way—which is why all the screen grabs in this review are from the emulator.

You can copy and paste in Android.

Unlike Apple with the iPhone, Google figured out how to do background tasks and a clipboard in Android. Have a look at how copy and paste works on the Gphone.

Android's web browser is (almost) just as good as Mobile Safari.

While Android is impressive, I'm not about to toss ye olde iPhone.

Bill O'Reilly: Proof of God's Existence [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]

2008-11-21T03:07:00.015+01:00

He actually claims to be proof of God's existence in his new book:

Next time you meet an atheist, tell him or her that you know a bold, fresh guy, a barbarian who was raised in a working-class home and retains the lessons he learned there.
Then mention to that atheist that this guy is now watched and listened to, on a daily basis, by millions of people all over the world and, to boot, sells millions of books.

Then, while the non-believer is digesting all that, ask him or her if they still don't believe there's a God!

There appear to be no limit to how ridiculous this blowhard can be.

Er ikke så veldig overbevist om at dette er mer effektivt en gode gamle måten med foldere og filer, men kanskje...?

BumpTop is a fresh and engaging new way to interact with your computer desktop. You can pile and toss documents like on a real desk. Break free from the rigid and mechanical style of standard point-and-click desktops. Interact by pushing, pulling and piling documents with elegant, self revealing gestures. BumpTop's stunning interface makes clever use of 3D presentation and smooth physics-based animations for an engaging, vivid user experience.

Have a refresher on the BumpTop video we posted last year, and get another glimpse at eletrikjesus' custom BumpTop theme.

Here's a video that made the rounds awhile back that shows how the BumpTop works with a touchscreen.

Fringe Gets Full Season; Spielberg/Cody’s Tara Debuts January 18th

Shared by Helge
Yay. Fringe er en av mine favoritter for tiden. :)

Fox has given the new JJ Abrams show Fringe a full order of 22-episodes, which is no surprise considering the ratings. This is the first new series on the big four networks to get a full season commitment. I haven't had a chance to watch the show since getting back from my 28 day trip, but the pilot episode was just a little bt underwelming. I plan on sticking with it to mid-season, and see if the story really picks up steam.

The new Steven Speilberg-produced Diablo Cody-scripted Showtime series United States of Tara will premiere at 10pm on January 18th 2009. The series will follow the final season premiere of the L Word, and lead into the second season of Secret Diary of a Call Girl. The series stars Toni Collette as a mother with multiple personality disorder. The comedy comes with how the different family members and friends deal with her different personalities. I've read the script for the pilot episode, which was strong. It will all hinge on how convincing Collette is as the various different personalities.

Mathematica 7 does GIS

2008-11-19T13:41:00.001+01:00

Virkelig heftig oppdatering. :)

via Ogle Earth by sxxxx@xxxcom on 11/19/08

My favorite $2,500 application that I don't own, Mathematica, has just been bumped to version 7. New in this version is integrated Geodesy & GIS functions, brought to you with Wolfram Research's usual obsessive attention to detail. I mean, look at this:

"Exaggerated differences between common reference ellipsoids and WGS84."

As with every self-respecting application these days, Mathematica now also comes with geolocation-finding tools! And, yes, current & historical weather data for 17,000 weather stations worldwide, all ready for integrating into whatever mathematical analysis you have waiting for it. Country data (including a wealth of health, transportation and economic statistics) and city data is also included (since version 6), letting you easily find solutions to fun stuff like the Traveling Salesman Problem:

You can also load your own data for analysis, as Mathematica 7 supports a wide variety of geospatial file formats, including GeoTIFFs, ESRI Shape files and DEM files.

Mathematica also makes it easy for others to explore your work interactively, using the free downloadable Mathematica Player. Here are some sample country data analysis demonstrations for downloading, and here are some city analysis demonstrations. (Some more free geography demos for good measure, including the Traveling Salesman Problem as a game.)

If you have Mathematica running on a server, you can create a web interface for your users with WebMathematica, letting you create Java applets that allow interaction right from the web page. The documentation doesn't say, however, if this Mathematica 7 is compatible with WebMathematica, so it's not clear if you'd be able to integrate these newest GIS functions into your web apps yet.

If you've been waiting for the right tools to build a competitor to ESRI ArcGIS from scratch, here's your chance:-) More seriously, well-funded programmatically inclined educators should take a look at what Mathematica can offer, as should GIS professionals looking to bring the full force of mathematical analysis to their dataset, beyond what desktop GIS tools can offer.
