X.Org is set to release a new
version of their X11 server tomorrow (X11 is the system that drives
the GUI desktop on Linux and other UNIX systems). The notable part of
this release will be extensions to the X protocol that will allow more
flexibility in the compositing of windows. This allows for drop
shadows on windows, translucent windows, and other visual effects
(The screenshot at right is a bit small, but it shows a video playing
at 50% transparency with a browser behind). Linux-Gamers.Net has the full scoop:
Another useful feature is the inclusion of the new XDamage
extension. Monitoring the regions affected by rendering has
wide-spread use, from VNC-like systems scraping the screen to screen
magnifying applications designed to aid users with limited visual
acuity. The DAMAGE extension is designed to make such applications
reasonably efficient in the face of server-client
latency.
This all seems a bit technical, I know, but it will mean a more
'Mac-like' visual experience for Linux desktops, and more efficient
rendering. The screenshots
look great. Windows users, don't worry. I'm sure Longhorn will be
along eventually. Right? =)

History of candy bar wrappers
History of candy bar wrappers
03/14/2005 05:29 PMCory Doctorow:
This Syracuse University thesis on the history of candy bar wrappers
is a very breezy work for an academic paper -- insightful and
interesting history of the evolution of an object whose ubiquity has
rendered it invisible to our modern eyes. Interesting to think that
there was a time when the idea of a candy bar wrapper was novel.
Candy wrappers are designed to communicate with consumers, - even
though the communication may often be one-way. The bright colors,
shiny paper and animated logos speak to our culture in the most
friendly and trusting tones. We know that each wrapper holds the
promise of something good - at least as good as Grandma used to
make.

Now I don't know what
exactly you'd want to use this Waysmall 200ax-bt 200MHz computer with
integrated Bluetooth for, but that's not because it's useless. Just
the opposite, in fact. For $184 you get a low-power computer running
the Linux 2.6.0 kernel with webserver and remote login and power
management circuity on-board. Throw a solar cell onto this little bad
boy and you could do all sorts of fun things, like embedding a
permanent webserver into a building, controlling a swarm of wireless
robots, or developing the first Bluetooth-enabled loaf of bread. At
just 8.3 by 3.6 centimeters, the 200ax-bt still manages to pack in
USB, serial, sound, and LCD controller - now with AC adapter!

GKrellM: Geek eye-candy, monitors, and

10/30/2003 11:59 PMBill Wilson's little "single process stack of system monitors" known
as GKrellM has become so popular some refer to it (or just use it) as
geek eye-candy rather than as the very nice performance monitoring
tool that it is. In fact, GKrellM is so popular it may have more
plugins than other projects have users. Actually, I think it's not so
much that GKrellM has morphed itself into eye-candy so much as that
since the very beginning it's been designed as a Swiss Army knife kind
of utility.
