  1. Soul searchin, fun and clever game little game, Ludum Dare "Tiny worlds" entry made in 48 hours sir-realism.com/pages/soulsear… /via @waxpancake
  2. "We've got dragon by the tail" i.imgur.com/9RiOY.png A big success for SpaceX
  3. Watch the history live, SpaceX Dragon about to dock International Space Station: nasa.gov/multimedia/nas…
  4. Oracle's patent trolling attempt failed: groklaw.net/article.php?st… Yay for common sense.
  5. @xqunix Better ;). Maybe you could try disabling depthWrite instead of depthTest for particles?
  6. @paniq Yes, though all shots were from the same retina display. It's just that some apps deal with it better.
  7. @paniq For comparison, this is how native iOS high-end 3d games look like: twitpic.com/9oeoz6 twitpic.com/9oepj3
  8. @paniq You are not missing much. It looks like this: twitpic.com/9oem4e twitpic.com/9oemfr Definitely overhyped.
  9. @paniq Did you already try? I'm also in EU, outside of US / UK. I just installed the app from that link and spectating works.
  10. @paniq I just tried their iOS viewer. Feels, I don't know, cheap? Everything is so blurry, even the interface. Thanks for reality check ;).
  11. @paniq Ah yes, you are right ;). Though seems you can just spectate: itunes.apple.com/us/app/onlive-…
  12. Amazon can run Android apps in their cloud, streaming to devices: androidauthority.com/amazon-appstor… Interesting, that could allow something like OnLive.
  13. @mrdoob Otherwise seems new combo of Intel Ivy Bridge and Nvidia Kepler coming this summer will be good (expected on both Macs and PCs).
  14. @mrdoob Didn't you already have some decent Macbook Pro? ;)
  15. "From Dust" as #NaCl Chrome application looks great and runs pretty well: chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…
  16. Fascinating story of Pinkie Pie, Chrome exploit: arstechnica.com/business/2012/… blog.chromium.org/2012/05/tale-o… Kudos to both hacker and Chrome team.
  17. SIGGRAPH 2012 : Technical Papers Preview Trailer youtube.com/watch?v=cKrng7… /via @waxpancake
  18. @Tojiro Seems Chrome is fine but Firefox still has some noticeable performance hit on compositing :S github.com/mrdoob/three.j…
  19. @Tojiro The same here, with "classic" mode I would consider upgrade. Like it is I'll skip (unless I'll be forced to, like with Vista).
