Google Chrome to have 3d acceleration Built-in?
Posted by The Right Guy in Google Chrome, Internet on March 19th, 2010
Google has launched a new project for Chrome that will let the browser run a wider range of 3D graphics content without downloading additional drivers.
The open-source project, called ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine), seeks to let Chromium run WebGL content on Windows computers, wrote product manager Henry Bridge on the Chromium blog.
WebGL is still-developing cross-platform Web standard for accessing low-level 3D graphics hardware based on the OpenGL ES 2.0 API (application programming interface) that can be implemented directly in a browser without a plugin. But while WebGL is implemented in many browsers, it is dependent on a set of OpenGL drivers. OpenGL is an API for 2D and 3D graphics rendering, available on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.
The competing graphics API is Microsoft’s Direct3D, which is part of the company’s DirectX graphics technologies. Microsoft’s DirectX technologies have increasingly become dominant in PC gaming, and OpenGL has almost disappeared, according to a blog post from Wolfire Games, which still uses OpenGL for its games.

YouTube increases video limit size to 2GB

Allows for more HD content
Today, YouTube announced that it has doubled the current file uploading size from 1GB to 2GB to allow users to post more high definition video content on its massive servers. This is particularly useful for those users uploading 1080p content that can easily exceed over a gigabyte, even when re-encoded.
The YouTube team has also implemented embedding and direct linking to HD versions of video clips. By appending “&hd=1” to the end of the URL, a video will start playing in HD as soon as someone follows the link.
There is already speculation as to what the next update will introduce. Perhaps the maximum HD video resolution (853×805) might be expanded to fit a more conventional resolution of 1280×720, or a live broadcasting service feature similar to Justin.tv and Qik.com. Only time will tell.
Sony aims at iPhone market

Next PSP will have a phone
Sony wants to convert its PlayStation Portable into a mobile phone and take on Apple’s iPhone.
The dark satanic rumor mill says that the electronics giant is looking into making a combination gadget that would meld its PSP gaming system with the cell phones made by Sony Ericsson. According to the Nikkei business daily Sony is pulling together a team as early as July to begin development of the new gadget.
It is the second time that such a rumour has become the “word on the streets”. In 2007, Sony filed a patent that appeared to show a PSP-like device with phone capabilities, and British Telecom said it was working with the company to bring voice and video chat to the PSP.
It will not be the next thing that Sony releases. The PSP Go, will be the next thing to grace shop shelves. It was unveiled at the E3 gaming conference, is smaller than its predecessors and has a slide-up screen.
It will go on sale in North America on October 1 for $249.
