NVIDIA 3D Vision machines get 3D YouTube video support on Firefox
Posted in: Mozilla, NVIDIA, Today's Chili, video, YouTube
NVIDIA and YouTube made a rather caveat-heavy announcement today that promises to bring stereoscopic 3D YouTube videos to NVIDIA 3D Vision PCs and notebooks, running Firefox 4. If you’re rocking an NVIDIA GeForce GPU-equipped machine, sporting driver release 275 or later, a 3D Vision monitor, notebook, projector, or DLP HDTV, and Firefox 4 with streaming HTML5, you’ve got access to all the 3D goodness YouTube has to offer — given you’re not trying to access content via a standard YouTube channel, as the outfit’s HTML5 support is still limited. And don’t forget, you’ll need your active shutter 3D glasses handy, too. So, if you fit all of the aforementioned criteria, check out the demo video after break (and make sure to hit the HTML5 function under options) — otherwise, feel free to go on using the old cyan and red method for viewing YouTube in 3D. Full PR after the break.

Posted in: sony, Today's Chili, top

Amazon launches Mac Download Store with more than 250 titles
Posted in: amazon, Apple, Mac, Software, Today's Chili
Yes, it’s another store within a store at Amazon, this time a Mac Download Store. While software downloads certainly aren’t anything new for the online retailer, the Mac store does actually boast a wider variety of titles than Amazon’s Windows download section, including games like Dragon Age: Origins and Civilization V, and applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop Elements. All told, there’s more than 250 titles currently available — not exactly a rival to Apple’s own Mac App Store, but a more than respectable start. Of course, no store launch is complete without a sale, and Amazon has kicked things off with two: a free download of Airport Mania, and $5 off your first paid download. Hit up the source link below to check it out.

This article was written on March 06, 2007 by CyberNet.
Yahoo has decided to ditch their mobile service pilot program called Mixd just a few months after it started. It was geared towards the younger crowd, but apparently didn’t latch on like they expected. In fact, the service ended over a week ago, yet no one noticed until yesterday. That ought to say something right there.
According to the Mixd site, they say that they learned a lot, and that you can expect to see other great mobile products from Yahoo! in the future. Perhaps they’ll focus on a different demographic with future products?
Because it catered to the younger crowd who can text faster than a speeding bullet, it was a “trendy” way to create groups to text and share photos within.
Apparently the competition like Dodgeball and Twitter are one step ahead of the game and not worth competing with. Or maybe Yahoo has something bigger and better up its’ sleeve?
So far they haven’t had much luck with their mobile services, but it’s nice to see that they’re experimenting with their options. First the Yahoo ring-tones download service prematurely ended, and now Mixd has been nixed.

Drawing Machine Converts Photos to Sketches, Robotically
Posted in: Hacks, Mods and DIY, Robots, Today's ChiliA number of artistically inclined robots showed up at this year’s Maker Faire, but The Drawing Machine really stood out among the competition.
Winner of a Maker Faire Editor’s Choice ribbon, Harvey Moon’s Drawing Machine takes any black and white JPEG image and transforms it into a robot-drawn work of art. The machine is controlled by custom software that runs on an Arduino, and due to a degree of randomization in the code, each piece ends up being completely unique.
Moon didn’t expect to be at Maker Faire this weekend — Make magazine invited him to attend the event just two weeks prior.
Check out the video above to find out more about how The Drawing Machine works.

Tesla Roadster 2.5 gets 119 MPGe rating from EPA, still as expensive as ever (updated)
Posted in: car, electric car, electric vehicle, ElectricCar, ElectricVehicle, ev, tesla, Today's Chili
Move over, Nissan, because there’s a new MPGe king in town. Yesterday, the EPA anointed Tesla scored its Roadster 2.5 with an MPGe rating of 119, which would make it the most fuel-efficient car on the market. That places the plug-in ahead of both the Nissan Leaf (99 MPGe) and Chevy Volt (93 MPGe). According to the government-approved mock-up window sticker, Tesla’s EV can last for up to 245 miles on a single, eight-hour charge, while getting the equivalent of 112 miles per gallon on the highway and 124 in the city. The original Roadster, meanwhile, received an MPGe score of 111 yesterday, with ratings of 105 on the open road and 116 in the city. Both models scored a perfect 10 for their greenhouse gas and smog emissions, though those ratings probably didn’t factor in all the cash you’d have to burn to actually buy one.
Update: We just heard from the EPA, which clarified that this is not their official rating for the Roadster 2.5. These numbers are Tesla’s, and the window sticker itself is a mockup – not a legitimate sticker from the EPA. Still, if you’d like to see it, it’s down after the break.
