According to Digitimes, this year marks the sounding gun for global flexible active matrix displays, meaning that this year we may see bendable, thin high-definition LCD screens. New technologies and materials are the base of the technology, and recent advances may result in real products in not-too-distant future.
Talking about bringing you back! Muxtape.com is simple little web service that lets you create online “mix-tapes”. You can upload up to twelve MP3s, rearrange the order, and share and play them on any machine.
It definitely brought me back to the high school years!
Without further ado…my first Muxtape!
Vista Service Pack 1 fixes an annoying bug on the Lenovo T61 where the system would only recognize 3MBs of RAM (even if you had installed 4). This bug only showed up on Vista 32-bit editions.
The bug is now history post-upgrade. Nice to see that Microsoft is getting a lot of these bugs fixed!
Interested in Silverlight and WPF? Mike Demopoulos, partner and creative director at RDVO, maintains WPFDev.com, a growing compendium of the latest projects, technology advances, and how-tos for Microsoft Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
At RDVO, we’ve identified Silverlight/WPF as an exciting and emerging new technology for building truly dynamic web applications. While the technology has yet to truly take off, it will only be a matter of time until it’s embraced by a wider audience.
Take a look at WPFDev.com for a taste of what’s to come and see how cutting-edge organizations are already using the WPF and Silverlight platforms.
Earlier this month Google rolled out a new search feature that displays an additional search box in the results set.
According to the Google Blog here’s why and how the additional box is generated:
This feature will now occur when we detect a high probability that a user wants more refined search results within a specific site. Like the rest of our snippets, the sites that display the site search box are chosen algorithmically based on metrics that measure how useful the search box is to users.
You would think that Google would limit this service to directories and informational website. Think again. Here are a number of business websites that return search-within-a-search results.
It’s important to note that searches performed in the additional search box are returned at Google, not at the website associated with it.
This is a smart and useful feature. When and how will Google offer it as a premium service for advertisers?
