The first Pixar animation

This video created a lot of buzz lately, but after researching a bit I came to conclusion that it's not fake. In 1972 Ed Catmull (founder of Pixar) and his workfellows produced the world's first 3-D rendered animation (demo real of cutting-edge computer animation), an recreated digital version of Ed's left hand. You are able to see some "making of" footage (around 1:30) and another early on tries out.

Amazing new material: GRAPHENE

I will start with this: the developers of Graphene won last year's Nobel Prize. There are many men of science out there that belive that this new material means the end of silicone. Also it could be the foundation of a new generation of computers.

The best tablet of 2011 Comparison

This is a short comparison between Apple iPad 2, Motorola Xoom, HP TouchPad and BlackBerry PlayBook.


When it comes to platform, I really think iPad 2 and Motorola Xoom are the best because you can find plenty of apps for iOS and Android.

Motorola Xoom  has the highest resolution (1280x800) on a 10.1 inch display.

If we talk about CPU speed, HP TouchPad stands up with its 1.2 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon. It's almost certain that every of these tablets will feature 1GB Ram, so it's a tie here.

The camera winner is BlackBerry PlayBook with a 3 megapixel front camera, and 5 megapixel rear camera being able to record 1080p videos. As you've seen in my previous post, iPad 2 is thinner than iPhone 4, and that also makes him the thinnest tablet PC available so far.

Which is the best Tablet PC of 2011? I really think it will be a fight between Apple and Motorola, but if we take into consideration the large fan base Apple has gathered over the years, it's certain it will be the most talked about tablet this year.
