| xiph.org/about | Mon, 5 Oct 09 |
| I like this interesting page from the Xiph.org staff, shortly about the meanings and ways of opensource, and why multimedia technologies are close to the requirement of freeness like open standards, protocols and procedures. | |
| 2009 would not be like '1984' - pt2 | Mon, 5 Oct 09 |
| Again with the Kindle fact, the guy who have sued Amazon for having removed from his ebook reader an Orwell' book
have win a settlement. All I can said is prompting you to not buy DRM devices. | |
| 802.11n | Tue, 15 Sep 09 |
| On September the 11th the IEEE have ratified the 802.11n standard, an 802.11a/g/h improvement to reach high bandwidth.
Since the draft 2.0 of the purposed standard, some manufacturer like Marvell and Broadcom had already begun selling 802.11n chipsets, speaking of 300MBps. The explanation of this bandwidth is theorically something like this article. However, many things in real life goes differently: the coupling and multipath of the antennas from receiver to transmitter, the timings, the presence of many clients, ... I believe much more of a pratical testing article like this from tom's hardware, that shows a clearly improvement from the 802.11a/h, but a bandwidth of maximum 100Mbps and a range only a little improved. | |
