Note: Our initial performance observations were focused on touch response and not system-wide performance, and were based on a Galaxy Nexus being used by one of Google’s staff. The demo units during the show were definitely smoother in operation. All of them featured an early build of Ice Cream Sandwich, however, so we’ll make our final calls on the phone once we have a review unit in hand.
note that this is just part 1 of 4.
(I am assuming you didn't read all four parts, because that material would have to be covered impressively quickly to fit in 20 minutes)
portal: the flash version seems to work well enough.
The directions are constant, but the momentum gives you time to shift your heading as you enter/exit portals
Like all good lessons, this one starts with a little lie and tells you the truth later on...
"Supriya : But how I will create different types of Chutneys?
Shekhar : Now you will see the missing phase of MapReduce — Shuffle phase. MapReduce will group all the outputs written by every Map based on the key. This will be automatically done for you. You can assume key as just a name of ingredient like Onion. So all the onion keys will be grouped together and will be transferred to a grinder which will just process onions. So, you will get onion Chutney. Similarly all the tomatoes will be transferred to the grinder marked for tomato and will produce tomato Chutney."
Yeah, I did the search, saw google.com.au first and wasn't surprised at all.
For those interested, but not interested enough to visit the AU site the results are:
1. www.google.com.au
2. www.bing.com
3. jobsearch.gov.au
4. www.dogpile.com
5. www.seek.com.au
6. www.search.com
7. www.webwombat.com.au
8. au.altavista.com
9. www.peoplesearch.com.au
10. www.search.org.au
Basically a bunch of search engines, a couple of job sites and a couple of sites with search in their name.
"Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace."
I wouldn't take that as apple never supporting blu-ray. Although given the quote is three years old, I wouldn't say it's likely either.
"it’s worth noting that Firefox 8 is as fast or faster than the latest Dev Channel build of Chrome 14. Chrome’s WebGL implementation is still faster, but with Azure, Firefox’s 2D performance is actually better than Chrome. JavaScript performance is also virtually identical."
"First and foremost, our takedowns have nothing to do with any sort of open source licensing violation. Both Yong and I handle developer relations behind the scenes. We give cuts to original authors at times, and I have posted sources to my source repository. Though there is a lot of rhetoric surrounding this, it is not an issue."
