PBS mini-documentary explores indie game creation, shows what they do that majors can’t (video)
Author: Jack Schmidt
The indie game globe has undergone a metamorphosis over the past few years, changing from a frequently overlooked specific niche into as much a staple of the game sector as once-every-year hits like the Phone call of Obligation series. It’s that fast-rising side of gaming that PBS’ Off Book has actually discovered in a succinct documentary. As both developers and game journalists clarify, the little and more versatile nature of indie teams lets them explore game principles, art and sound that significant developers generally avoid– you probably wouldn’t get Bastion, Fez or Super Meat Boy out of a company focused primarily on hitting its quarterly income targets. Crowdfunding and internet circulation methods like Vapor and Xbox Live Arcade have actually similarly eliminated many of the barriers that either kept these games from commercial success or forced uncomfortable bargains with large publishers in the past. Correctly, the indie sphere that PBS sees in 2012 is less about trying to come to be the next Activision or EA and even more about experimentation and personal expression. If you’ve ever before desired an elegant recap of exactly what makes Spelunky feel so special, the whole Off Book episode waits for after the break.

Scape, Brian Eno’s new ambient music creation app is now available on the iPad (video)
Author: JohnnyBells
Popular music making applications for the iPad are ten-a-penny, however when it’s the brainchild of a super-producer like Brian Eno, you need to take notice. Scape is the 3rd of his collaborations with Peter Chilvers after Bloom and Trope, an application that lets you produce background songs with Eno’s very own noises on a colorful, theoretical interface. Unlike basic beats ‘n’ loops setups, each noise is tied to a series of guidelines– featuring the time of day– that guarantees the tunes you create never play the very same means twice. It’s available from iTunes for $ 5.99 / & pound; 3.99, and who knows, maybe in a few years time, Coldplay’ll come calling for your expert proficiency.

Adobe Lightroom 4 available now for $149, brings photo book creation and updated tools
Author: Mark Jeffries
The latest version of Adobe’s photo-management and editing tool, Lightroom 4, was released in beta in early January, but today the software loses that status and officially replaces Lightroom 3. Current owners can upgrade for $ 79 — new licenses will run you $ 149 — and you’ll also be able to use the app with a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud when the service launches later in the year.
Lightroom 4 has all new highlights and shadow editing controls that replace fill light and recovery options of past software versions. Much like iPhoto, users can now create photo books from directly within the app and purchase them with a single click. There are also built-in hooks for publishing to Facebook and Flickr, along with a new map module…

Adobe Photoshop Touch for iPad: the future of content creation?
Author: Alexander McQueen
Adobe Photoshop Touch has been available for Android tablets since late last year, but after a brief early appearance in the New Zealand iTunes store, the software is officially out for the iPad today. You can purchase the app for a one-time fee of $ 9.99, though it will be included with Adobe Creative Cloud when the subscription service launches later this year. While the full suite of Adobe touch apps — Kunler, Collage, Debut, and Proto — are still slated to hit iOS “in the coming months,” Photoshop is the second offering for Apple’s tablet after Adobe Ideas. The app wraps familiar features from the desktop version of Photoshop in a tablet-friendly package that’s surprisingly functional and easy to use.
The app employs a simplistic…

Creation, the Universe & Evolution of life. To a funky beat
Author: Gabe Hall
“Be Mine” Written & performed by Jeff Coleman ( www.myspace.com/fireaimready ) Remix, additional production and video: nathan jay 14 billion years ago, time and space were born / filled with homogeneous, nearly uniform / quark and lepton plasma that led to you and me / through the interplay of chance and necessity // The plasma later cooled to make mostly hydrogen / fueling fusion in the stars’ generation one / Supernovas blew up and scattered into space / heavier elements upon which all life is based // On the surface of the Earth, soon after it cooled / some organic molecule, floating in a pool / chanced to have a form that made copies of itself: / the ancient ancestor of Prokaryotic cell // Next Eukaryota, with nucleated cells / symbiotically engulfed power-plant organelles / Multicellular life gained high complexity / in the bargain trading off immortality // The Cambrian Explosion created the array / of nearly all the phyla found on the Earth today / Chordata with its notochord and post-anal tail / had the backbone needed to, in the end, prevail // Fish and reptiles laid their eggs, but mammals chose live birth / milking viviparity for everything it’s worth / Hominidae stood up when Ardipithecus / jumped down from the ape branch, a biped much like us // Habilis was handy with fire and stone axe / Erectus kept his butt warm in stylish furry slacks / Neanderthals: a dead end, no trace of them remains / squeezed out by us sapiens, despite their bigger brains // Hunters …

Transistor Tech Startup Takes On Intel With Powerful New Chip Creation Technique
Author: Tech Blogger
One of the true giants in the tech industry is Intel. Despite the ascendance of their rival, ARM, in the mobile sector, Intel is unmatched in processor and molecular-level computing R&D. They are years ahead of others in the business and likely will be for some time. But that doesn’t mean that an occasional upstart can’t stand up to them in a small but significant way.
SuVolta, a new company based in Los Gatos and only in the public eye for six months, has created an alternative to a certain Intel chip-making technique that could improve the system-on-a-chip production and significantly decrease power consumption. Their partner, Fujitsu, has just demonstrated the technology in a super-low-voltage SRAM chip, showing that the technique is very far from vaporware.
It’s always extraordinary when a small company (SuVolta has around 50 employees) can take on a multi-billion dollar one, even more so when the larger company maintains its dominance by its immense spending on research staff and facilities. But SuVolta is lucky in the respect that their invention does not require such a high level of investment. Or not lucky, rather, but very shrewd.
Their tech, in brief, is a new technique for producing transistors called Deeply Depleted Channel, and it’s a different material stacking method that allows for an even lower voltage to be used to reliably power the gate. In Fujistu’s demonstration, a small SRAM cell that would normally take 1V to power successfully ran with just 0.425V. Power savings of over 50% on such a low level are hugely significant.
Furthermore, and perhaps most importantly, the DDC method of producing transistors is compatible with existing chip-creation infrastructures and designs. This means that SoC manufacturers won’t have to spend billions refitting their factories to create bigger dies or accommodate smaller transistor sizes; after all, reliably producing structures 25 nanometers across is no easy matter, and the machinery necessary to do it is incredibly expensive. By allowing for this huge improvement in power consumption rates but minimizing the cost of deployment, SuVolta is saving companies billions and nullifying to some extent some of the billions spent by Intel.
DDC only goes so far, but it’s an extremely valuable and powerful asset for a young and small company like SuVolta to have. They’ve branded it Powershrink, but there’s no indication of when products built on the technique will hit the market.

Move Buys Interactive Profile Creation Tool SocialBios
Author: Major Workman
Online real estate company Move this morning announced that it has acquired SocialBios, which is described as a social search startup although its offering reminds me more of services offered by the likes of Follr, About.me and Flavors.me.
SocialBios basically allows both individuals and companies to create a single social hub for their online profiles through interactive ‘About Us’ pages that enable visitors to find shared connections on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Foursquare etc.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
For Move, the acquisition of SocialBios means more access to social services it can offer real estate professionals through its vast online network and marketplace.
In the press release, that sounds something like this:
Move will leverage the SocialBios platform and talent to develop products that connect people with real estate professionals based on the commonalities of their on- and offline social networks.
As part of the acquisition, SocialBios founder Ernie Graham and co-founders Ira McMahon and Andrew Van Tassel have joined the product development team at Move, where the former will head up Move’s social product strategy and development team.
Graham will work with Move’s franchise and broker customers to develop ‘social graphing strategies’ that help them facilitate more connections between their agents and brokers with consumers.
The SocialBios office and team will be based in Denver, Colorado, and its website, products and brand will remain in production and available to real estate professionals.
