Music recommendations – Music Genome project

on November 22nd, 2010 by admin

I have written an article on this topic before, here is a follow up. I have found the first music recommendation system on the web that I really like so far. It is called Pandora at pandora.com. You can register for free and create virtual radio stations. Each radio station starts with a song or [...]

Singapore

on November 7th, 2010 by admin

Legutóbbi singaporei utaimon számos fotót készítettem a városról. Lassacskán, ahogy időm engedi, ezek a fényképek felkerülnek a Flickr oldalamra. Egy kép különösen kedves számomra, egy éjszakai panoráma a városról, a Skyparkból fényképezve. Az alábbi 3 nagyságban tekinthető meg. Kövesd a linket és utána a kép egyes részleteire kattintva a web browser kinagyítja a képet.
On my [...]

Darwin Awards

on November 3rd, 2010 by admin

Ha még nem hallottál a Darwin Awardról akkor itt az ideje. A darwinawards.com web oldal évek óta gyűjti a különlegesen ostoba emberek eseteit melyben ezek az emberek vagy meghalnak vagy súlyos sebesülést szenvednek nevetséges körülmények között. Persze mondhatod most hogy mások halála nem nevetséges, ám ez meglehetősen függ a körülményektől. A klasszikus példa erre – [...]

VMWare OS X Snow Leopard on Physical disk

on September 18th, 2010 by admin

In a previous post I was writing about the Snow Leopard installation on VMWare. While I was troubleshooting the choppy sound problem, I observed that high disk activity may be related to sound problems. So I decided to try what if I install OS X on a physical hard drive as opposed to a virtual [...]

America’s Got Talent 2010

on September 16th, 2010 by admin

Let me start with the obvious. Jackie Evancho is the – how shall I say … – True winner of this year, whatever happened behind the scene, whatever happened with the voting. There are other forums going into deep analysis why she lost the majority vote, I will not do that here.
Some key observations from [...]

Choppy audio in VMWare – the solution (?)

on September 13th, 2010 by admin

Choppy sound is a problem many people hear when running OS X Snow Leopard under VMWare Workstation. Radio stations, podcasts are not enjoyable, watching movie trailers in iTunes is nearly impossible.
Several posts suggest to change the VMWare config parameters in VMX but that does not really do anything. Based on my experiments, no wonder, because [...]

GPU with CUDA

on September 3rd, 2010 by admin

The GPU is easily the most expensive component in one’s PC. If you are a gamer, it is essential to render the virtual world in high resolution, brilliant colors and flawless animation – whatever the price is.
But what about it’s idle hours, days? Can the price/performance ratio be improved on this investment?
Absolutely.
CUDA stands for Compute [...]

First impressions of the Mac OS

on August 31st, 2010 by admin

Being new to Mac OS, I share a couple first impressions.

After the first few days I was wondering why is that I rather open a web browser in the Mac OS than on Windows, when I was browsing Flickr photos with my Deep Dive application. Then I did a side by side comparison on the [...]
