Windows 7 will sport Direct X 10 Compliance!
The new feature is called WARP10, for “Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform,” and it’s essentially a DX10-compliant, software-only rasterizer that was written by Microsoft; it runs directly on the CPU. In a situation where a DX10 app needs to run but can’t find DX10-compliant hardware, it will run on WARP10, albeit very, very slowly. Ultimately, you can think of WARP10 as a “software DX10 GPU” that will exist as a fallback in Windows.[via Arstechnica]
Micrsoft TerraServer, What are they doing today?
Comments OffJust found this great way to get an aerial view of Los Angeles, Although the photos are old photos they still give you a sense of the area. For example this one:
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States 1/15/1995
As you can see you can get a good look around the US. If you want to check out your local area or maybe you know you Latitude and Longitude of where you live. You can also enter that too and see it in the past. It at least brings back memories for me. For example, the Twin Towers, they still have that photo. You could also look at the White House before 9/11 also. Go check out the Micrsoft Terraserver and go have some fun looking at old pictures.
Is Hulu encouraging people to watch shows illegally?
I’ve been scouring Hulu for the last few days and come up with some interesting observation. I wanted to talk about Hulu’s commitment to its users. I don’t say that lightly but just recently the distributors and the copyright holders only have been putting up a few episodes here and there on old shows like:
Some of the comments I’ve seen have been talking about watching the rest of the shows from other sources:
- The Pretender – watch Season 3 for free
- Stargate Atlantis – Buy it through Itunes
- Naruto – Suggests that this user might of downloaded episodes
- Babylon 5 – AOL Video has Season 3
- Babylon 5 – Talks about Alternatives
- Angel – Suggest buying it
- Sliders – Netflix it
