How has the exciting world of technology changed since the last World Cup? Let us count the ways!
Posted on May 31, 2010 | No CommentsA little birdie told me that the World Cup begins in just a few weeks, on June 11, 2010, in South Africa. Four years prior saw Italy lift the trophy in Germany, beating France on penalties. Zinedine Zidane also headbutted Marco Materazzi that day—an immense event in Internet history. A lot of things have changed since that day in Berlin, a lot of things that will shock and amaze you. For example, did you know that Facebook was still only open to college and high school students the moment Fabio Grosso smashed the ball past Fabien Barthez? So, what else has changed between then and now?

x264 now encodes Blu-ray-compatible video
Posted on April 27, 2010 | No CommentsBreak out a blank DVD and fire up x264! The folks behind x264, the freeware h.264 encoder, have announced Blu-ray compatibility. That means you'll be able to burn a DVD containing h.264 video that will play on your standard-issue Blu-ray player. That's good news if you still burn DVDs, something I haven't done in for something like a year, and even then it was for someone else. Go away, plastic discs.
