Nvidia Tegra: HD streaming and Flash support demonstrated by Gordon Grigor, Director og Mobile Software

Posted by Charbax on 4th June 2009

An amazing demonstration by Gordon Grigor Director og Mobile Software at Nvidia (the software engineering lead in developing Tegra solution!) of the ways Nvidia accelerates web browsing, flash, HD video decoding, HD video streaming from the Internet and more.

I was very impressed today I interviewing the Nvidia executives and engineers, they are insanely confident about their Tegra ARM implementation, even though the current demonstration of the Tegra technology does NOT use the latest ARM Cortex processor which is 4x faster for things like a browser compared to ARM11!!!! Nvidia is processing many things from the browser using the GPU! Can you believe that? Rendering of browser contents, scrolling, font antialiasing, image rendering, flash animations, flash videos, all are taken care of by the Nvidia GPU! Look for my videos of all that, being uploaded now and filming more the next couple or three of days.

Nintendo Wii Fit

Posted by Charbax on 12th March 2008

Trying the most awesome interactive interface for gaming ever made. The Wii Board is amazing. I tried the Wii the first time in May 2006, 6 months before it was released at the E3 in Los Angeles. I knew immediately that the Wii was the most awesome gaming console ever made. Now the Wii Board provides even more amazing interactivity that requires you to put your whole body into work and have complete control over your balance.

Wii: Virtual Console

Posted by Charbax on 14th June 2006

The Wii will be backwards compatible with all previous Nintendo consoles. One will possibly be able to log online to buy old NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube games as downloads. Possibly one will be able to connect an external usb2 harddrive to the Wii to thus have external storage space for the Wii to be able to download big N64, GameCube and Wii games on-demand directly from Nintendo online, thus saving money on useless resellers and other businesses that make games retail prices so high.
