Yesterday Perian updated its QuickTime plug-in for the Mac. For those of you who don’t know about it, Perian is a plug-in allowing Mac users to view a virtually unlimited number of video codecs in QuickTime Player. Among the codecs are AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, GVI, VP6 and VFW, just to name a few.
REAL LIFE Hand Cannon in ACTION
I’ve been out of touch in the gaming world for a bit… Â But this is quite amusing…
A “real life” Hand Cannon…. Â I didn’t quite get the reference, but it’s funny anyway…

Then I did some research… Â Evidently, in Dead Space 2, if you beat the game in “hardcore” mode… Â You can purchase a Foam Hand cannon, which is what Vampy is parodying here… Â See some clips of the Hand Cannon in action here…

How this happened:

I’m not sure if want to know what temperature that side of the SUV reached and whether this was enough to cause the aluminum alloy wheels or any other tempered metal parts to soften and thus need replacement.
Thoughts on the iPad 2…
Well, I have had the iPad 2 for about a week now, and I thought that I would document some of my thoughts on it.
What’s changed from iPad 1?
- The tapered edge makes it feel a lot thinner, but it also makes using the power button, slider switch, and volumes controls a little bit harder compared to the relatively flat edges of iPad 1
- The Speaker is much better. Â But Stereo Speakers would be even better…
- Faster Processor, is obvious in almost every application I have tried. Â It is almost impossible to find a slow application…
- Faster graphics performance, once again, is almost immediately noticeable. Â Not only in speed, but also in sharper graphics.
- The front & rear video cameras.
- Air Play works noticeable better with iPad 2
Now this does not mean that iPad 1 was lacking (other than maybe in the video cameras). Â The iPad 2 is a evolutionary improvement of the iPad 1…
Is there still room for improvements? Â Of course….
- Stereo Speakers would be nice
- Even faster processors
- Better Cameras, the resolution is decent, but they are not the best mobile cameras . Â The iPhone 4 cameras easily beat the iPad 2 cameras…
- More storage compared to iPad 1.. Â The iPad 2 still comes in 16/32/64 Gb, it would have been nice to be 32/64/96…
But I personally think that the iPad 2 is as light & thin as is reasonably possible without the risk of launching it halfway across the room by accident…
Can it be smaller? Â Lighter? Â Sure. Â There have been rumors of Carbon Fiber bodies, and other exotic manufacturing methods… Â But I would definitely need to examine this new form factors… Â There is a hugh difference between iPad 1 & iPad 2 with weight and long term ability to carry it without strain. Â The two almost feels like it’s full of helium, it’s that light…
I don’t foresee Apple being able to reduce the weight that dramatically again without amazing effort….

This Doctor Who inspired cowl was designed by Ravelry user Rachel Henry.  It’s made with a Knit Picks self striping yarn, in the Time Traveler colorway, which is unfortunately no longer available on the Knit Picks site.  The colors are a pastel version of the iconic Doctor Who scarf worn by the fourth Doctor.

Why do apps from the same company look worse on Android than on iPhone?
When I use an iPhone and an Android phone at the same time, I often find that apps from the same company look a lot different on these two platforms – the ones on Android usually look much worse.

Spotlight on FitzOblong
I was organizing some Anime images, and noticed an interesting little picture…
I thought the operator looked a bit like Bonnie from Kim Possible, so I presumed it was a cross-over “fanfic” image. Then I noticed the URL in the display… A quick mirror flip, and I popped over to FitzOblong’s deviant art site.
His pieces range from being cross-over(s) for example, Kim Possible as TinkerBell…
To substitution pieces, for example, Quora being replaced with Jessica Rabbit. Yes, I guess you could consider it just another cross-over… But, I think there’s a subtle difference…
To cross-over / buddy pieces… For example, a Kim Possible & Agent P (Perry from Phineas & Ferb) piece.
Take a look at his site, and see if there’s anything that tickles your fancy…
