LA 3D mise sur de meilleures perspectives. Ce devait être la révolution 2010, ce sera au mieux l'évolution 2011.
Agrippée au Mondial de football, une période propice à la vente de téléviseurs, l'industrie de l'électronique grand public a tenté d'imposer ses nouveaux téléviseurs 3D. Et tandis que dans les salles, Avatar jouait les VIP du relief, dans leur salon, les spectateurs enlunettés se voyaient déjà sur Pandora. Des petits écrans à la peine Las! Alors que dans l'Hexagone, les prévisions de ventes de téléviseurs 3D pour 2010 étaient de l'ordre de 800.000 pièces, celles-ci émargent désormais à 120.000. Néanmoins, en cette fin d'année, jeux vidéo (475 titres PC compatibles avec le logiciel 3DTVPlay de Nvidia, plus quelques jeux PS3), chaînes 3D (chez Free), VOD 3D (chez Numericable et Orange) et Blu-ray 3D (une dizaine de titres) incitent à jouer la carte de la 3D… à condition de s'offrir un grand écran.
Un investissement encore coûteux Penser aussi qu'un lecteur Blu-ray 3D deviendra un investissement inévitable. Victim Of Its Own Success: Tumblr Redefines The Concept Of “Back Shortly” Boy does it suck to be Tumblr right now.
The blogging service has been down for roughly half a day (yes, that would be 12 13 14 15 21 hours) now, due to a “major issue in one of its database clusters”. There are no more details available at this point, and a request for more information wasn’t immediately responded to. Tumblr’s many users are understandably very frustrated and taking to Twitter and Facebook to voice their displeasure – some of them went to bed last night around the time the service went down and woke up this morning to see their beloved blogs are still not available.
Of course, technical difficulties are part of the game, and Twitter has proven that even unreliable services can maintain a growing user base if the value for the users remains apparent. But I don’t think even Twitter has ever been down for more than 12 hours. Tumblr may be a free service, but these days, that’s not nearly enough to calm the mob. By the looks of it, they desperately need to. Memory du Cinéma : Retrouvez les paires ! Pearltrees Dives Into Social Curating With Pearltrees Team. Content curation and mapping service Pearltrees has decided to focus on the fact that people want to do things in groups and has as of today upgraded its core product with a groups functionality, called Pearltrees Team.
Now accesible just by logging in, Pearltrees Team allows you to hook up with other people in order to create a Pearltree collaboratively in realtime. Ideally this goes down as such: You really care about fashion so you search for fashion in the Pearltrees search box and are confronted with really elaborate visual cluster displays of fashion blogs, each blog its own “pearl.” You decide that anyone who likes The Sartorialist is probably a good egg and click on the puzzle piece in the Pearltrees detail window in order to ask if you can join the team. If the team leader accepts, you then can see all the Pearltree curation happening as it happens as well as as comment on individual Pearltree decisions. You can also share your team curation easily via Facebook and Twitter.
