Viewing jQuery DOM Event Bindings With FireBug

xoopserver@gmail.com (Nuno Luciano) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:21:00 PDT

The ease with which we can bind events to DOM elements using jQuery is a huge part of what makes jQuery so awesome. But, as with many things that are wired-up programmatically, when something doesn't work, it can be hard to figure out where it went wrong. One cool tip that I picked up reading Cody Lindley's jQuery Enlightenment book is that jQuery-bound events are actually stored in the data() method using the "events" key. This means that if we need to, we can use FireBug at runtime to inspect the events that are bound to a given DOM element."

Then the Cube starts on its way, but using special effects it travels like on a conveyor belt, with the road moving. The driver meets up with his friends, a computer icon popping up "Add Friends". He then plugs in his iPod to play music. The friends arrive at a party, and a computer icon says "Join Group".

Google Wave: A Complete Guide

xoopserver@gmail.com (Nuno Luciano) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 01:58:00 PDT

Google (Google reviews) promised to deliver something spectacular on the second day of the Google I/O conference, and they did not disappoint. Google has just announced Google Wave (Google Wave reviews), a new in-browser communication and collaboration tool that is already being hailed by some as the next evolution of email. Yes, Google Wave is potentially that disruptive.

Created by two of the guys behind Google Maps (Google Maps reviews) with a small team in Sydney, the concept behind Google Wave is to “unify” communication on the web. It’s a hybrid of email, web chat, IM, and project management software. It features the ability to replay conversations because it records the entire sequence of communication, character by character. Because of this, discussions are also live in Google Wave: you will see your friends type character-by-character.

The features don’t stop there, either. Google Wave also supports the ability to drag attachments from your desktop into Google Wave. It loads that file and sends it immediately to anyone in the conversation. It’s also embeddable, so you can embed Google Wave conversations on any blog.

(full movie: fra, eng, esp, deu)

Trailer

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

Movie Documentary : Home

xoopserver@gmail.com (Nuno Luciano) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 01:03:00 PDT

A hymn for the planet

HOME is an ode to the planet's beauty and its delicate harmony. Through the landscapes of 54 countries captured from above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand takes us on an unique journey all around the planet, to contemplate it and to understand it. But HOME is more than a documentary with a message, it is a magnificent movie in its own right. Every breathtaking shot shows the Earth - our Earth - as we have never seen it before. Every image shows the Earth's treasures we are destroying and all the wonders we can still preserve. "From the sky, there's less need for explanations". Our vision becomes more immediate, intuitive and emotional. HOME has an impact on anyone who sees it. It awakens in us the awareness that is needed to change the way we see the world. (HOME embraces the major ecological issues that confront us and shows how everything on our planet is interconnected.)

Synopsis

In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet,
established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it is too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption.

A People's Project

By bringing us unique footage from the Earth and sharing with us his wonder and his concern, Yann Arthus-Bertrand lays a foundation stone for the world that, together, we must rebuild. The film HOME intends to shift people's perceptions, to make us aware of the tectonic movements at work and to incite us to act.

We have a greater impact on the Earth than it can bear. We over-consume and are depleting the Earth's resources. From the air, it is easy to see the Earth's wounds. HOME simply sets out our current situation, while saying that a solution exists. The film's subtitle could be "It's Too Late To Be A Pessimist". We have reached a crossroads; important decisions must be taken to change our world. Everybody knows about what the film says, but nobody wants to believe it. So HOME adds its weight to the argument of environmental organizations that we need a common sense approach to change our consumerist way of life.

On June 5th

More than a movie, HOME will be a major event around the globe: for the first time ever, a film will be released on the same day in over 50 countries.

June 5th 2009, World Environment Day has been chosen as the highly symbolic date for this simultaneous, and free of charge, release on every format: movie theatre, TV, DVD and Internet. The aim of director Yann Arthus-Bertrand, distributor Luc Besson and François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of PPR, the film's official sponsor, is to reach the widest possible audience, and to convince us all of our individual and collective responsibility towards the planet.

OpenViBE - Brain Computer Interfaces

xoopserver@gmail.com (Nuno Luciano) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:45:00 PDT

OpenViBE enables to design, test and use Brain-Computer Interfaces. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are communication systems that enable users to send commands to computers only by means of brain activity. Broadly speaking, OpenViBE can be used in many real-time neurosciences applications. This video will help you understand what OpenViBE is and how it can be used :

OpenVibe Applications

The main OpenViBE application fields are medical (assistance to disabled people, real-time biofeedback, neurofeedback, real-time diagnosis), multimedia (virtual reality, video games), robotics and all other application fields related to brain-computer interfaces and real-time neurosciences.

OpenViBE users can either be programmers or people not familiar with programming. This includes medical doctors, video game developers, researchers in signal-processing or robotics, etc.

OpenViBE Characteristics

OpenViBE is a library of functions written in C++ which can be integrated and applied quickly and easily using modules. The platform's main advantages are modularity, portability, availability of different tools for different types of user, including programmers and non-programmers.

OpenViBE is open source and available for free on the INRIA forge.

Don't hesitate to download OpenViBE and give it a try.
