NVIDIA is a demonstration of 3D streaming with Silverlight

NVIDIA is demonstrating a 3D flow streaming live via the Internet, today at Computex. He used the occasion for its technology 3D Vision PC, Microsoft Silverlight and IIS Smooth Streaming technology.

"We worked with Microsoft to allow support for 3D in a web browser, to make it very simple to use," said Phil Eisler, head of 3D Vision Technology to NVIDIA. "Just click on a 3D video and it plays using NVIDIA 3D Vision and the latest video player based on Silverlight. Customers can now take advantage of 3D content in high-definition streaming, and see them in full resolution. "

To take advantage of this technology, it is obviously a compatible PC. As a computer based on NVIDIA 3D Vision with the latest drivers and browser plug-in Silverlight. NVIDIA refers to a stage for content producers who will benefit from a secure broadcast channel and monetize, he said.

"Consumers have a growing interest in recreational experiences in 3D, and Microsoft wants to work with NVIDIA to offer them these experiences," said Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president, Development. NET at Microsoft. Silverlight and IIS Smooth Streaming bring the best quality of HD video on the web, and with NVIDIA 3D Vision, will now offer customers read their movies, sporting events, music videos in 3D, on their own computers.

A DVD drive for notebook hybrid integrating a DSS LG-Hitachi

Failing to compete directly with field specialists, manufacturers of storage media historical explore new horizons. Hitachi-LG and benefits of Computex, which is being held in Taipei (Taiwan), to announce an optical unit called "hybrid", carrying a DSS. Still at the conceptual stage, the HyDrive (presumably hybrid drive) is available as a multiformat DVD burner for laptop, equipped with a SSD of 32 or 64 GB

This can for example host operating system and computer applications that will benefit most from reduced access time and transfer rate of flash memory, while the personal data, for which performance is less critical, will be stored on a conventional hard disk drive of greater capacity. The precise specification of the DSS party have for the moment not been revealed. The optical part for its promise of a system error correction much more tolerant than average, allowing the playback of media heavily damaged.

A conventional portable computer, having space for fine optical unit and a location 2.5 inches, and can handle three types of storage media: magnetic, optical and flash memory.

The LG-Hitachi HyDrive should be launched in September for a retail price not given.

After Pakistan, Facebook is blocked in Bangladesh

If Facebook, censured last May 18 in Pakistan following a competition of cartoons made by one of its members , is again available in the country since last Friday, is now Bangladesh, which has blocked access to social network.

The origin of this filtering, the same page deemed blasphemous by Pakistan, namely that concerning the "Day Draw Muhammad, but also other pages with" unpleasant images "of the country's leaders," including the father of the nation Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and the leader of the opposition, "said a spokesman for the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Bangladesh. The blocking measures were taken Friday, following a demonstration which brought together thousands of Bangladeshis in the streets of the capital, Dhaka. The BBC also indicates that a person suspected of having sent the images in question on the social network was arrested Saturday in Dhaka.

Facebook is blocked for blasphemy, but the government of the country indicates that access to the site will be restored "once the pages containing the images have been erased outrageous." A request had also been Pakistan in vain if the social network is again available in the country, the pages involved are, they always filtered.

The Twitter account is hijacked tanker BP

Bogged down in a scandal over the leak of one of its platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, the oil company BP (British Petroleum) is still experiencing some setbacks. This lighter and less dramatic as this is his Twitter account, @ BP_America. We must believe that some conservationists have sought to make themselves heard.

In recent days, a fake Twitter account of the company circulated. @ Named BPGlobalPR he would have counted more than 90,000 subscribers through sending short message from a certain Terry, ridiculing the Total oil group decisions. These false-tweet would remain online for 30 minutes but are a sign of an intrusion on behalf of the company.

The editor explains in a Sophos security blog that this intrusion would have been permitted through the use of a password security too low. A method has become classic among fans of hacking the site of micro-blogging. However, Twitter has already banned certain passwords are too easy to decipher. The site had prohibited the use of 370 access codes to be too simplistic to provide a basic level of security to access an account. It seems that these measures are not enough .

NVIDIA Announces GeForce GTX 465

NVIDIA announced a new graphics card to complement the latest generation of the manufacturer. The new GeForce GTX 465 is as its name implies the third and most affordable DirectX 11 cards of the firm of Santa Clara.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 reference is structured to turn around a GF100 GPUs based on a manufacturing process to 40 nm, clocked at 607 MHz in (just like the GTX 470 and 700 MHz against the GTX 480 ) and provided 352 units of computation, also called CUDA cores, clocked at 1215 MHz (against 448 to the same frequency for the GTX 470 and 480 MHz for the 1401 GTX 480). She also embarks 1GB of GDDR5 memory running at 1603 MHz on a bus with a width of 256 bits (cons respectively 1.25 and 1.5 GB, 1674 and 1848 MHz, 320 and 384 bits for the GTX GTX 470 and 480). It finally shows a TDP of 200 Watts (cons 215 and 250 watts for its predecessors).

One finds also support SLI, allowing to use multiple graphics cards in parallel, CUDA, which relieves the CPU of certain tasks in parallel, acceleration hardware PhysX physics engine and 3D Surround Vision, which offers display in relief on several screens. The map is broken down by a cooling system occupying two slots, requires a power supply with two PCI Express offers two dual-link DVI outputs and a mini HDMI output.

Initial tests of several American colleagues show that, depending on videogames and their settings, the performance of the GeForce GTX 465 evolve into those of an ATI Radeon HD 5830 and a 5870.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 reference is already available to manufacturers, who will announce their own versions in lockstep, for a suggested retail price of 280 dollars (about 270 euros including VAT).
