Mattress topper is not as effective, it will work for a silly little podcast and improve a room but not for pro level audio. You see those deep wedges those trap far more frequencies and the depth of the open cell special composition foam traps more. The foam is specifically made for audio control and not comfort like…

I got to play with a rig that had 32 cores/64 threads in one machine on my last contract, and I never want to render any other way every again.

This is an article about running an emulated version of Windows on your OS X machine, is it not?

I thought they were able to manipulate a pool of ferrofluid into a shoe. This is still cool though I guess..

I always found the Mary Sue criticism of Corran Horn rather absurd, considering how it could be applied to basically every major character in SW.

I’ve been hoping for years that they would make a live action Rogue Squadron series, a-la Battlestar Galactica, with no connection to the Skywalkers or Solos...

wait did people not like Corran Horn?

The haters can go f*ck themselves. Starfighters of Adumar is one of my favourite books of all time.

A great example of one of the things the EU did right. Fantastic series.

Does it not seem slightly concerning that a film called “Rogue One” will be “from a ground-war perspective”? I’ve kind of been hoping for X-Wing Pilots ala Rogue Squadron.

Yeah, it’s entirely one of those features that makes no conceptual sense if you haven’t used it. But when you start using it, it’s like “how did I live without this before?”

Hey Cortana, why do you think I was asking you in the first place?! Fine I’ll do it myself.

There seems to be some confusion with virtual desktop and virtual machine. The virtual desktop is multiple working “screens” on the same machine. Instead of minimizing programs to access different ones, you can lay out them across different screens or virtual desktops for easier multitasking. For example, right now I…

I don’t really understand why you would use a virtual desktop. What do you use it for (or want to use it for)?

pretty excited about virtual desktop. probably the only feature i really like on osx... hopefully works just as good.

It was quite a hiatus but Beast Wars surpassed the original Transformers cartoon. For such early CG animation its still amazing to look at. Especially in seasons 2 and 3 it occasionally wrestled with more dramatic and serialized stories and emotional themes. Also who wouldn’t want to watch Ratrap bicker with Dinobot?…

Star wars + Oculus + Unreal Engine 4

To be Eentirely honest, I misread your posting until after i’d posted the picture...that said, if you had posted “Was that over/under on that?” this would have been perfect.

As the creator of the Tumblr, I must say that this is the pinnacle. I made io9’s front page!

Suffice it to say, I am whelmed.
