There are many Blu-ray Rippers on the market but few of them can rip 4K Blu-ray, especially rip 4K Blu-ray to HEVC MP4, almost all 4K Blu-ray Ripper doesn't support H.265 Encode NVIDIA NVENC or NVIDIA CUDA hardware acceleration, it will cost you too much time cause HEVC encoding is GPU-taking. Pavtube ByteCopy can give 4K Blu-ray fans a perfect solution, which is a handy 4K Blu-ray Ripper tool that allows you to rip your 4K Blu-rays to HEVC/H.265 MP4 Utilizing NVIDIA GPU Acceleration and without too much effort. It does a great job.

H.265 promises the same video quality as H.264 when using half the bitrate, so you may have thought about converting your H.264 videos to H.265/HEVC in order to reduce the space used by your videos. However, if you've ever tried to transcoding videos with tools such as handbrake, you'll know the process can be painfully slow, and a single movie may take several hours even with a machine with a power processor. Luckily, there's a better and faster solution thanks to hardware accelerated encoding available in Nvidia graphics cards. Pavtube Studio, the leader of the multimedia software developer, has made its professional Blu-ray ripping tool, Pavtube ByteCopy, joined HEVC NVIDIA to 30x realtime 4K H.265 encoding. Now,Watch this tutorial and check if your computer has CUDA-enabled GPU.

The Touchless SDK enables developers to create multi-touch based applications using a webcam for input. Yeah ... touch without touching. The main idea: to offer users a new and cheap way of experiencing multi-touch capabilities, without the need of expensive hardware or software. All the user needs is a camera, which will track colored markers defined by the user.

« Cache-oblivious algorithms take into account something that has been ignored in all the lectures so far, particularly, the multilevel memory hierarchy of modern computers. Retrieving items from various levels of memory and cache make up a dominant factor of running time, so for speed it is crucial to minimize these costs. The main idea of cache-oblivious algorithms is to achieve optimal use of caches on all levels of a memory hierarchy without knowledge of their size. »

This Symbian system (aka Psion and Nokia S60) was well loved for its well though out personal organizer or PIM applications. Now, smartphone users seems more interested in e-mail, music and games. I am interested to see if Symbian OS still has a profitable niche. Symbian is a market leader in the new market.

« The Apache™ Hadoop™ project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using a simple programming model. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-avaiability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-availabile service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures. »
