The best part was the playful leg in the shot. I guess Jenn was a little anxious. :)

Re: Apple beats Microsoft to market, again, this time with a mouse

AvatarX — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:07:18 -0000

Finally, A article from a reputable blog paying attention to "The Longhorn Concept" Incident. Apple took out everything it could from it and later even had the cynicism of saying that Microsoft had copied them!!!.

Even Project Pheedo, that even if we agree was not a 100% microsoft thing is now ingrained in people minds as Coverflow that Apple made part of everything as we have seen.

The problem is that only 1 in a 1000 actually knows that from fact and not hearsay.

Uff, I actually remember someone telling me about you from a friend who was at C.U back in early 1996 i think. Didn't paid not much mind until i read about you again in late 1999 almost by accident. From then on i decided to keep a eye on what you did.

It has been interesting.

Congratulations.

Re: Video: Microsoft MultiTouch Mice

I liked every single one of the Multi-touch mouse conventions. I Think that for everyday use the first 2 are the best ones. The third ones need to be further prototyped but it could be used for cases were you need some serious precision and control like 3D modeling. Fourth one makes for a great gaming mouse as it was obviously intended. Fourth is the trickiest ones as it comes by as tiring to have to use your hand that was for long period of times but would may be the most dependable for rough use.

Pues lo seria. Los posts de Miguel son unos rollazos. Aunque tambien pense yo mismo traducir su blog. La verdad pienso que no tendria mas que un ciento de lectores. El esfuerzo no parece valer la pena.

Habria que hacer una encuesta al respecto en varios Blogs en espanol (teclado gringo) para saber si hay suficiente demanda.

La verdad es que Miki es un traidor a Mexico y su Mexicanidad Chilanga desde que se fue a vivir a Boston. Debido a eso, Le hemos prohibido exponerse como tal. Tememos por la inclusion de nuestro bello lenguaje en sus truculentas conspiraciones mientras desarrolla software en el gabacho.

Damn. that would have been cool yet at the same time a social aggregator / social messenger start up like friendfeed was still a best match for Facebook. Twitter should acquire plurk as its second option.... :D

Re: Moonlight 2.0 goes Beta - Miguel de Icaza

I stand corrected. However maybe Opera 10 will probably will if they follow what they did in Windows where they at least reworked how they interact with browser plugins installed in the machine. So maybe it will indeed work well after all.

Chrome plugin is a some sort of point in between Firefox XPI's and Firefox Jetpack..that is why i guess that it should be the easiest to support post Firefox for Moonlight.

tried it out. it is quite better than the last preview but it must be half as fast and twice as heavy than Silverlight 3. At least that is how it feels. I guess you are about to begin optimizing it.

Re: Moonlight 2.0 goes Beta - Miguel de Icaza

AvatarX — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:55:29 -0000

Just as a educated guess: Not very soon since it is not as easy to do or there is as much incentive for them to do so. But you can bet on support for Chrome/Iron 3-4 sooner than later as it gets extension and these get mature. I read somewhere that even in Linux Iron/Chrome was already as used as Opera. Surprising considering it is not even finished.

i guess he forgot to add EnableFrameSetCounter and a display for it....but yeah it should be on the sample. i can only guess that i am getting like 50fps when seeing the sample in IE8.

I suspected that Miguel had pre-written and the release of Moonlight Beta 1 was also pre-programmed since he now on vacations.

Great news. i was pleasantly surprised to be right on this :)

Will try it out later.

Thoughts on Lifestream.fm response to Facebook acquiring Friendfeed

Not much of a actual statement that actually proposes something but better than none.

But if you want a advice (or even if you don't). Mine for Lifestream.FM would be:

1.-More Themes
2.-Make it semi-real time. think about how the original SocialThing did things.
3.-A Cross replying when suitable would be great
4.-A API would be good
5.-A sample client that actually worked would be good.
6.-Widgets
7.-More promotion
8.-Let people sign to Lifestream via Facebook and Twitter
9.-Put more emphasis on User profiles information
10.-Reuse lifestream.fm assets in other ways if you don't want to let others do it via a API:

Provide a way so you can integrate it with Amplifeeder, Blogger or make it a Badge or Profile card landing page that can also be portable (like card.ly or retagger) or make it work as social user internet passport like MyBlogLog or TwitterCounter.

11.-Get a community manager (hey, i am free :P )

Those are things you could do and get growth. otherwise i think that lifestream.fm sadly may not see 2010.....but oh well.

Re: Google Chrome OS Screenshots?

AvatarX — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:29:57 -0000

Really?, that is you final answer?. Then how exactly you are supposed to use the SSB concept (built into Chrome from the start) and Google Gadgets without windowing?.

Unless you are being sarcastic. then just carry on.

Re: Google Chrome OS Screenshots?

AvatarX — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:21:39 -0000

Looks like actual Google Design. it also makes sense because the bar at the top and tray bar at the bottom can be seen even if the browser is at full view as if it was intended all along. That makes it plausible. the bleed, in this case the empty desktop background/void is also accurate based on Google Chrome design because the desktop (in their view) is only mean to be used by "Chrome Modules" A.K.A SSB Windows.

So if it is a Fake mockup my regards to the guy. it is very factual to the Chrome Browser design and Google design.

eh?. the canvas/javascript does work in Safari , Opera 10 and Iron 3. just works with differences but works.

Horrible. but it does work.

Re: Silverlight/C#, Flash/ActionScript 3 and Canvas/Javascript - Miguel de Icaza

AvatarX — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:38:24 -0000

There are noticeable differences from Iron3(Chromium 3), Firefox 3.5 to IE8 in Silverlight and Flash being faster in IE8.

All around canvas/js is horrible no matter if you use safari 4, opera 10, firefox 3.5 or chrome 3. it gets 5 to 15fps tops.

Flash gets from 15 to 24 and looking at Silverlight speed it must be twice as fast.
