Nokia N97’s Brain Maze requires steady hand, typical mind-control equipment
But, I can’t see I see any “mind control” involved after watching the video demo. All the navigation is done through hand motion. The mind control part is supposed to be “thinking in advance” of the course. But, that is not something readily apparent just by watching a video.
I wanted to try the Intel AppUp beta for Windows 7 netbooks. So, I pointed my Google Chrome browser at…
http://www.intel.com/Consumer/Products/appup.htm
This resulted in partially rendered web page and Chrome attempting to use all available processor resources. I had to use Windows Task Manager to terminate Chrome.
Next up was Firefox. It rendered correctly and did not cause the processor to rev up. However, I could not download the AppUp EXE file using Firefox.
This forced me to use Internet Explorer 8 which takes forever to startup (why is that). The AppUp webpage rendered correctly and let me download the EXE file.
Thanks for the terrible user experience, Intel!
The overall quality of still photos and videos recorded using my Nexus One continues to impress me.
This video was recorded at 4:10pm in a a room with windows. I started the recording with the room lights turned off. Then, I turned the lights on and panned across the room to get a few different room lighting conditions including backlit. The Nexus One adjusted relatively quickly to a variety of light conditions during this brief test.
After using the Nexus One for a couple of days now, I’m convinced that its still photo and video quality is significantly better than the Motorola Droid.
