Aperture won't currently run in Yosemite. Aperture will be updated to run under Yosemite but that's the last update it's going to get.

Printing with light, AKA Stereolithography has been around for a long time. The news here is that they're printing feature sizes that are smaller than the wavelength of the light they are using. This involves using metamaterials with a negative index of refraction (among other things)

Can't tell if serious or trolling.

These cameras are used for slowing things down. You shoot at, say, 600 frames per second and then you can slow it down by 20 times to 30 fps. Watching the video at 30 fps then shows a very smooth slow-motion view of what's happening 20 times faster. One of the examples he gave was in process manufacturing - if you have an assembly line that's jamming at a point, and you can't see why as it's all happening too quickly, shoot it at a high frame rate, slow it down and go over it frame by frame if you need to. Either that or make videos of stuff breaking, getting shot or having water splashed on it and put it on youtube. People love seeing that stuff in slow motion.

LOLWUT?

I've only been in a Starbucks once in my life, and that was because someone I was with wanted to stop there.

And as for shoes, the most expensive pair of shoes I have ever bought was about $135. And I have never paid ov $20 for a pair of "sports" shoes. Doesn't make sense for me. I run the heels over too fast to make that make economic sense.

I have, however, been employed pretty steadily for the past forty years as an embedded engineer and applications developer.

So, what was that, again?

And all the snot-nosed, socially retarded, little script kiddies huddled in their Mom's basements pawing their greasy fingers over their creaky little POS plastic shitbox computers somehow don't think they are the "World's Greatest Hax0rs(tm)"?

Yeahrightsure.

Ahem. Get your facts straight.

One of the Developers of VLC decided to have a hissy fit and VOLUNTARILY REMOVED VLC from the App Store. Apple didn't "ban" VLC. VLC "banned" ITSELF.

And F/OSS? Point to me where it says that App Store apps (whether iOS or OS X) cannot have F/OSS code in them? Hell, on the Apple website, the damned *OS*(es) have pages crowing about the number of F/OSS Projects that OS X (and iOS) incorporate (and to which Apple contributes and/or has initiated themselves).

WTF is your problem, hater?

Citation, please.

I'm going to guess that you're joking here. Cars already need to be regularly filled up with fluids of all sorts and people seem to be able remember to do that, granted with the help of a small gauge in the instrument cluster.

Yeah. Well come back when you can answer a phone call on your shitastic Lin/Win laptop using your Android phone in your bookbag with zero configuration.

And Apple had them on the Mac as "Desk Accessories" in 1984, and even a primitive form on the Lisa in 1983, bitch.

You do realize, of course, that you are talking about the company that literally wrote the book on good, consistent UI design, right?

The above, linked pdf copy dates from 1995 (the earliest actual copy I could find in a 2 minute search), but Apple first published their most-excellent HIG manual on or around 1985, before most slashdotters were even born.

Now, get off my lawn!

Ok, I know for a fact (by having several email volleys with the Developer) that Eagle PCB/Schematic Capture, etc. CAD/CAE suite uses Qt on OS X.

And I'm sure there are some others on this list. In fact, about 1/2 of the Qt-based engineering apps listed at the bottom of the page list OS X as a Target OS:

And if you want Proprietary software with OS X versions that use Qt, here's a list. I'm sure you'll recognize most of these apps:

Now, having said all that, Qt is horrible. But not unpopular...

What's "purely digital" about a LCD? For a start, there's nothing in this article talking about VGA. I'm talking about DisplayPort (as is the linked article) which has a signal path from the GPU to the monitor (and if you want to be pedantic about it, the DisplayPort interface on the rear of the monitor) that is purely digital. However, if you really want to take it to it's illogical extreme, even the digital signalling used by DisplayPort is, at it's heart, analogue voltages travelling down a bunch of copper wires.

Either way, the signal path, the communications channel, that still has things like a vertical blanking interval and runs between the GPU and the electronics in the monitor is purely digital.

Yeah, I always found it strange that even a purely digital flat panel monitor still "emulates" a vertical refresh interval signal...

I haven't RTFA, but from what I understand of it, it's not syncing the output from the graphics card to the vertical blanking interval on the monitor, it's the other way around. It's running the monitor at a variable frame rate so that if you're running at (say) 60Hz refresh and the next frame takes 1/60th second + a tiny bit, the monitor can hold off painting the new frame until the data is there to paint it, rather than waiting for 2/60th second before displaying an updated frame. Or, if the next frame is ready early, and the monitor can do so, it can paint the new frame early - so the monitor isn't running at 60Hz, it's running in sync with the output of the graphics card.
