3D HTML5 video shows up in Firefox

You can watch videos in 3D through HTML5 on YouTube starting today. The trick? This new role is limited to Firefox 4, and for people with a certain type of Nvidia graphics card.

YouTube currently hosts "several thousand" 3D videos to encode and play WebM formats, according to a blog post by Mozilla Director of Platform Product Management Chris Blizzard. Only people who have vision Nvidia 3D cards will be able to see videos in 3D, and only if they play in Firefox.

If you have the hardware 3D Vision, search YouTube for "yt3d" encoded videos showing 3D. You also need to configure the hardware 3D mode.

Full list of 3D HTML5 video on YouTube requirements:
• NVIDIA GeForce GPU-equipped PC or laptop
• driver NVIDIA GeForce Release 275 or more
• A 3D View Monitor Ready, laptop, projector or DLP HDTV
• NVIDIA 3D Vision emitter and glasses when using a PC monitor or laptop screen

Since the conditions mentioned above indicate, 3D HTML5 video on YouTube can only be seen by a small segment of the population surf the Web. However, the mere fact that the HTML5 video standards are still growing and the introduction of new skills, such as 3D announced today, indicates the potential that the HTML5 video is far from fully exploited. Given the continuous development and support for HTML 5 in the top 5 browsers, probably will not be long for Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera to follow the example of Firefox here.

WebP: 39.8% faster than JPEG

WebP: A new image format for the Web
WebP is a new image format that provides lossy compression for photographic images. In a large scale study of 900,000 web images, WebP images were 39.8% smaller than jpeg images of similar quality.
A WebP file consists of VP8 image data, and a container based on RIFF. The standalone libwebp library serves as a reference implementation for the WebP specification and is available at this git repository and as a tarball. Webmasters and web developers can use the WebP image format to create smaller and better looking images that can help make the web faster.
Did you know? WebP is pronounced "weppy".

How WebP works
WebP uses predictive coding to encode an image, the same methodology used by the VP8 video codec to compress keyframes in videos. Predictive coding uses the values in neighboring blocks of pixels to predict the values in a block, and then encodes only the difference (residual) between the actual values and the prediction.

The residuals typically contain many zero values, which can be compressed much more effectively. The residuals are then transformed, quantized and entropy-coded as usual. WebP also uses variable block sizes.

Moscow Embraces Emoticons

This introduction may be a little rough because my Russian is Google Translate as far as I will. As a personal initiative Pereslegina architect and designer Alexander Nicholas Pershikova have launched their own brand for the city of Moscow without government involvement (or approval). And this is not just a proposal on a page Behance, this is a full-service brand to merchandise and memorabilia and hitting the streets of Moscow. The concept of the new logo is surprise + Smile = Wow.

This is a fun exercise for the brand because it is so unexpected, giving Moscow a flippant personality that is perfect for the times TXT'ing too. I do not think is most appropriate - perhaps too silly and aimed at young people - but it is a good way to change perceptions and expectations. The execution is quite good, with the big "O" s big enough to be dramatic, but not so large that they are clumsy. I certainly would have preferred anything but the typeface Gill Sans, but it will not. Clothing can be a bit unfortunate when the "O" s of the land around the nipples of the person making the unwanted attention of the assets, but maybe it's by design. Moscow, I have: Wow.

Twitter has acquired via web, an application to hold the exhibition of "tweets" of more than $ 40 million in a mixture of cash and stock, according to sources close to the deal.
TweetDeck has been the subject of speculation about offers of months. TechCrunch reports surfaced, quoting an acquisition of 40 million $ 50 million. The agreement has not yet been announced but documents the completion of the agreement signed on Monday.

While Twitter representatives were unavailable for comment, the account of the company's PR Twitter, "For those who may be curious, we do not comment on rumors." Betaworks, a key investor in TweetDeck, was not immediately available for comment.

Lady Gaga To Promote Chrome browse

Google is becoming one of the biggest stars in the pop world to promote its browser Chrome.
The search giant released an ad last week featuring Lady Gaga Chrome to communicate with his "Little Monsters." The announcement also includes short snippets of fans other Google services, including search and YouTube. Your search is used to find Gaga fans, "while fans of the artist shown singing" Edge of Glory "track in videos posted on YouTube.

The spot ends with Lady Gaga Google called "Monster of the Mother" and stating that "the Web is what you make of it."
Lady Gaga is no slouch when it comes to the Web. videos of the artist's music have been viewed hundreds of millions of times on YouTube. Lady Gaga also recently became the first person to Twitter to reach 10 million followers. It currently has more than 10.3 million. Today, its wildly anticipated "Born This Way" album hits store shelves.
The reaction to Google's use of Lady Gaga to promote its browser and other services should be interesting. Google is not the first technology giant to rely on star power to promote products. Many companies have used celebrities in its ads - with varying degrees of success.
An example of the promotion of celebrity gone wrong: the use of Microsoft's comedian Jerry Seinfeld with Bill Gates. Not long after the duo's ad aired in 2008, his work was neglected.
Lady Gaga ad can not get the same exposure level as Microsoft points. However, it has not done that so far on YouTube. As of this writing, has been more than 532,000 times. It has 11,800 "likes" and 275 "does not like."
