Backstage at Austin City Limits Music Festival with AMD

With an amazing line-up that includes the likes of Blues Traveler, Norah Jones, Muze, Deadmau5, and the Eagles – just to name a few, this weekend in Texas the 2010 Austin City Limits Music Festival has taken over. We were invited to ACL by AMD and had the opportunity to go backstage at the AMD stage, which is undoubtedly the geekiest area at ACL. They have a Social Media Hub section set up there where lucky backstage visitors can take a picture or shoot some video, and then use on-hand AMD powered laptops to upload and share their sun burnt ACL mug shots on Twitter or Facebook, or wherever. In addition AMD is also showing off their multi-monitor panoramic gaming rig using Eyefinity technology backstage. They’ve also set up MicroCells for the best 3G reception at Zilker park.

Video Demo: Nokia Panorama on the Nokia N8

Last week we saw that Nokia Panorama was available on the Ovi Store for the Nokia N8 . Below is a video demo shot by nuuneoi from showing “Nokia Panorama” in action. Apps like Morpho Panorama use “sweep” – possibly the easiest method where you just sweep from left to right with no pausing or thought as to whether your picture is aligned – much like taking a video. Samples this way though may suffer from different light exposures, and quality may suffer

New Limera1n Jailbreak – So Far, So Good

Geohot released a new jailbreak for iOS 4.x and current generation (and minus one) iOS devices earlier today. The new jailbreak is called limera1n and for the moment it is Windows only, though Mac and Linux versions are said to be coming soon. I use a MacBook Pro but also run a Windows 7 virtual machine on it via the Parallels app – so I tried out limera1n via my virtual machine a few hours ago.

I’ve posted on nearly every single Minigore ($0.99)  update and relayed the news in April that v1.27 would be the last update before co-op gameplay , so I thought I’d take just a moment to ask: Uhh, where’s that co-op gameplay, folks? As of right now, the Minigore blog seems to say co-op is coming in Episode 4, but this epic fourth episode doesn’t really seem to have a release date.
