Alles over Nvidia to Supply Next Generation iPod Graphics Chip | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Neowin.net | 2006-07-19 15:03:25
Nvidia has beat out Broadcom to supply the multimedia chip inside the next-generation video iPod, according to a Wall Street analyst. "Based on our analysis, we believe Nvidia is designed into the next-generation vPod socket at the expense of Broadcom," said American Technology Research analyst Satya Chillara. "We believe the Nvidia chip adds 3D graphics functionality in addition to all of the existing features (such as H.264) that Broadcom supported with the existing vPod." Apple's current fifth-generation (video) iPod uses an audio chip from PortalPlayer and a multimedia chip from Broadcom. Apple's "true" video iPod is rumored to be delayed until the first half of 2007. News source: iLounge Read full story...

Alles over Stop making Flash scrollbars | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Software Headlines :: Index | 2006-07-14 14:39:12
Filed under: Ideas, Tips and Tricks, SamplesHoss Gifford has figured out a way to dynamically resize a Flash movie embedded in an HTML page. The practical application of this is now you can have your movie resize based on how much content there is to display. Being able to scroll with the browsers scroll bar instead of creating a separate flash scrollbar is the chief benefit to this technique. To accomplish this Gifford uses the swfObject by Geoff Stearns. Hoss has kindly made available the source code for this project under a creative commons license in hopes that someone can improve it. Check out the demo to see the resizer in action and download all the necessary files in one convenient zip.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | CommentsSource: http://www.flashinsider.com/2006/07/14/stop-making-flash-scrollbars/ Russell Heimlich http://www.softwareheadlines.com/modules/planet/view.article.php/15278
Alles over HTML Forms generation and validation 2006.07.12 (Default branch) | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Software Headlines :: Index | 2006-07-12 09:40:47
HTML Forms generation and validation is a PHPclass that generates HTML forms supporting manybuilt-in validation types on server and clientsides. It prevents security attacks by discardingspoofed values, has multiple submit protection,outputs HTML for fields displayed as fullyaccessible or in read-only mode, and has fieldvalue filtering and reformatting. It can beextended with custom input control plug-inclasses. AJAX based form submission, auto-completetext input, automatic vertical layout renderer,Calendar date, CAPTCHA, Google Maps world locationselection, and linked select plug-in controls areavailable.License: BSD License (original)Changes:Two new variants of the auto-complete text input plug-in were added. These variants can be used to auto-complete the text that the user types using SQL database queries. One of the variants uses MySQL queries. The other variant uses queries to any database supported by the Metabase database independent API.Source: http://rss.freshmeat.net/~r/freshmeat/feeds/fm-releases-global/~3/http%3A%2F%2Ffreshmeat.net%2Freleases%2F231545%2F http://www.softwareheadlines.com/modules/planet/view.article.php/14422

Alles over Industry Group to Develop 4th Generation (4G) Mobile Network | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Neowin.net | 2006-07-01 00:07:02
A group of operators have formed an alliance, which will determine the future mobile networks, e.g., decide, which features and capabilities are required by the 4th generation of mobile networks, which will be deployed after 2010.KPN Mobile NV, Orange SA, Sprint Nextel Corporation, T-Mobile International AG & Co KG and, Vodafone Group PLC have formed a group called Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN), which is expected to provide a set of recommendations for the creation of networks suitable for the competitive delivery of mobile broadband services and cost-efficient eventual replacement of existing networks.. This initiative intends to complement and support the work within standardization bodies by providing a coherent view of what the operator community is going to require in the decade beyond 2010.

Alles over Mobile Phone Generations Explained | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Software Headlines :: Index | 2006-06-25 05:57:12
There are way too many buzzwords and acronyms floating around. To understand technology you have to learn another language, the language of tech. They say lawyers and doctors add 30% more words to their vocabularies in school; well I think we do that by trying to keep up with the latest buzzwords. I am getting lost in a sea of letters and numbers, and whenever I catch up, I'm already behind! I'm doing my small part to help untangle the mess. I've created this little guide to explain all the current cell phone standards. This should clear some things up. At least for now!TDMA - Time Division Multiple Access is a technoloty that allows several users to share the same frequency by dividing it into different timeslots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using their own timeslot. This is a second generation (2G) mobile phone standard. It is being phased out in favor of the GSM standard. - Time Division Multiple Access is a technoloty that allows several users to share the same frequency by dividing it into different timeslots.

Alles over On the Provable Security of an Efficient RSA-Based Pseudorandom Generator, by Ron Steinfeld and Jose | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | IACR Eprint Archive | 2006-06-21 19:09:40
Pseudorandom Generators (PRGs) based on the RSA inversion
(one-wayness) problem have been extensively studied in the
literature over the last 25 years. These generators have the
attractive feature of provable pseudorandomness security assuming
the hardness of the RSA inversion problem. However, despite
extensive study, the most efficient provably secure RSA-based
generators output asymptotically only at most $O(\log n)$ bits per
multiply modulo an RSA modulus of bitlength $n$, and hence are too
slow to be used in many practical applications.
To bring theory closer to practice, we present a simple
modification to the proof of security by Fischlin and Schnorr of
an RSA-based PRG, which shows that one can obtain an RSA-based PRG
which outputs $\Omega(n)$ bits per multiply and has provable
pseudorandomness security assuming the hardness of a well-studied
variant of the RSA inversion problem, where a constant fraction of
the plaintext bits are given. Our result gives a positive answer to an open question posed by Gennaro (J. of Cryptology, 2005) regarding finding a PRG beating the rate $O(\log n)$ bits per multiply at the cost of a reasonable assumption on RSA inversion. http://eprint.iacr.org/2006/206
