Acoustic Bubble writes "Researchers at Cornell University have developed the first algorithm for synthesizing familiar bubble-based fluid sounds automatically from 3D fluid simulations, e.g, for future virtual environments. The research (entitled 'Harmonic Fluids') will appear at ACM SIGGRAPH 2009 in New Orleans in August 2009. Check out some videos of falling, pouring, splashing and babbling water simulations (computed on a Linux cluster)."

Personally I actually like the more sloppy approach used by the GNU utilities, even if the programmer in me disagrees

Uhmmm, Postel's Law, users (transparently) love it, programmers (selfishly) don't ;)

What it Means to be a Mashup 57

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday August 09, 2006 @03:36AM from the development-has-to-come-from-somewhere dept.

An anonymous reader writes "IBM DevWorks has provided us with an introductory article that helps define what it means to be a mashup. In addition to just defining what a mashup really is the author also delves into what they do for the community at large and where they may take us in the near future. From the article: 'Mashups are an exciting genre of interactive Web applications that draw upon content retrieved from external data sources to create entirely new and innovative services. They are a hallmark of the second generation of Web applications informally known as Web 2.0.'"
