Everything Nokia, S60, and more! | Nokia Experts Watch Naruto Shippuden Episodes Shippuuden Online Subbed and Dubbed The #1 HP webOS, TouchPad, Pre, and Veer Community | PreCentral.net math lessons and math help Netflix on the Nintendo 3DS: hands-on | This is my next... The wait is over: Nintendo today announced that it's finally bringing Netflix to the 3DS via a free app, available for download in the eShop right now. This means that US citizens and Canadians alike can now watch Shutter Island for the 30th time wherever Wi-Fi is available. As you'd expect, the content displays in 2D on the top screen and the familiar two-axis menu UI rests in the bottom screen. Wondering about 3D content? The PR states that "Users will soon have access to an additional library of select movies that can be viewed in 3D," so we've still got a bit of a wait ahead. We've currently got Netflix fired up on our 3DS here in the office, so head past the break for our hands-on! As soon as I began tinkering with the 3DS Netflix app, I immediately noticed how simple and clean it is. Video quality is what you'd expect from an 800 x 240 screen -- it's okay, but we prefer something more crisp and less washed out. Source: Nintendo PR

OnLive founder wants to revolutionize wireless with DIDO technology | This is my next... You may know Steve Perlman as the man behind OnLive, but it's looking increasingly foolish to think the California entrepreneur is all about games these days. WebTV may be a thing of the past, but Perlman's company Mova provides advanced facial capture software to big names in Hollywood, and on June 4th, he told students at Columbia University that his incubator Rearden had developed a groundbreaking new approach to wireless technology. That last one's quite the claim, and details were scarce in June, but today the company's ready to explain how it will "completely transform the world of communications" with a little something called DIDO. DIDO stands for Distributed Input Distributed Output, and there's a reason that word "distributed" is repeated twice -- basically, what Perlman is imagining is peer-to-peer, ubiquitous Wi-Fi.

Introduction to Matrices / Matrix Size Introduction to Matrices / Matrix Size (page 1 of 3) Sections: Augmented & coefficient matrices / Matrix size, Matrix notation & types, Matrix equality This lesson is not yet availablein Purplemath Plus. Augmented matrices Matrices are incredibly useful things that crop up in many different applied areas. For now, you'll probably only do some elementary manipulations with matrices, and then you'll move on to the next topic. Matrices were initially based on systems of linear equations. Given the following system of equations, write the associated augmented matrix. 2x + 3y – z = 6–x – y – z = 9x + y + 6z = 0 Write down the coefficients and the answer values, including all "minus" signs. That is, given a system of (linear) equations, you can relate to it the matrix (the grid of numbers inside the brackets) which contains only the coefficients of the linear system. x + y = 0 y + z = 3 z – x = 2 I first need to rearrange the system as: x + y = 0 y + z = 3 –x + z = 2 Coefficient matrices ...is 2 × 3.

webOS Application Basics Within a scene, the application presents Widgets, or controls, to the user. When the user interacts with a widget (or performs a gesture), an event is generated. By listening for events, your application can respond to user input. If you have developed user interface code in Javascript, widgets and events will already be familiar to you. In fact, the scene and its elements conform to the W3C DOM (Document Object Model), an interface that provides access to all elements on a web page so that the content can by dynamically updated or manipulated. The webOS Mojo Framework includes a Services API that provides access to system and hardware capabilities. Your application can store and retrieve data using the HTML5 database interface, or using the Cookie and Depot objects provided by the framework. The following sections provide additional detail about the application structure.
