Adobe flash is obsolete technology: Steve Jobs

Ashok Chava — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:41:06 +0000

Apple’s Steve Jobs made it very clear not supporting Flash in iPod just like not supporting floppy drive on iMacs. By comparing the Flash with a floppy drive he made it very clear what he thinks of Adobe flash. Also he suggested content publishers to use HTML 5 instead flash and for video he suggested H.264. Looks these are the end for days of Adobe flash. Sad for Adobe, hope would come up with something innovative that is as good a old Flash

OpenOffice 3.2 is much better

Ashok Chava — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:57:52 +0000

OpenOffice 3.2 is much better than what I had experienced with the earlier versions of this Open Source Office suite. Version 3.2 is much faster and it almost starts up with in 20 seconds just like MS Office 2003. There are lots and lots of features available and even we can lean and create our own extensions just like in good firefix.

If you get a change don’t miss to try this. You can download the latest version from their official site.

What is Blu-Ray Disc?

Ashok Chava — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:44:24 +0000

While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray. Despite the different type of lasers used, Blu-ray products can easily be made backwards compatible with CDs and DVDs through the use of a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical pickup unit. The benefit of using a blue-violet laser (405nm) is that it has a shorter wavelength than a red laser (650nm), which makes it possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision. This allows data to be packed more tightly and stored in less space, so it’s possible to fit more data on the disc even though it’s the same size as a CD/DVD. This together with the change of numerical aperture to 0.85 is what enables Blu-ray Discs to hold 25GB/50GB. Recent development by Pioneer has pushed the storage capacity to 500GB on a single disc by using 20 layers.

Blu-ray is currently supported by about 200 of the world’s leading consumer electronics, personal computer, recording media, video game and music companies. The format also has support from all Hollywood studios and countless smaller studios as a successor to today’s DVD format. Many studios have also announced that they will begin releasing new feature films on Blu-ray Disc day-and-date with DVD, as well as a continuous slate of catalog titles every month. For more information about Blu-ray movies, check out our Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray reviews section which offers information about new and upcoming Blu-ray releases, as well as what movies are currently available in the Blu-ray format.

You can find the blu-ray FAQs in the official site.

Kindle coming with touch screen

Ashok Chava — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:47:53 +0000

“When launching iPad Jobs said that while Amazon has gone a great job with the Kindle, Apple plans to stand on their shoulders and go a little further”. Looks like Amazom took these words too seriously and bought a company called “Touchco” a touch screen maker.

From Amazon point of you this is very drastic change because they were very reluctant to add touch screen feature to kindle terming it as a inconvenience. below are the words from Steven Kessel, an Amazon senior VP.

We have chosen not to do so because it reduces the reading legibility and clarity of the E Ink display. It increases glare, and decreases the amount of light reaching your eye. Today for the Kindle there is nothing between your eye and the E Ink screen. That’s what makes it easy to read on.”

Now looks like with iPad introduction into e-book reader market things are changing. Hope things change for best.
