¿Qué está pasando con ‘24’? Los problemas que
la producción que la nueva temporada de 24 tiene a sus espaldas son innumerables. Y
aún parece que no han terminado. Esto da más miedo que otra cosa, por que
habrá que preguntarse qué acabará saliendo de todos estos múltiples
problemas y retrasos. La experiencia con otras producciones nos dice que nada bueno.
Entre negativas de la Fox a dar el visto bueno a la trama inicialmente planteada por los
guionistas, huelgas, retrasos de mas de un año, telefilms… Da la sensación
de que nadie sabe qué hacer con ‘24’. Ahora de nuevo la serie
parará la producción desde el 15 de septiembre hasta el 2 de
Octubre, fecha en la cual se retomarán los rodajes, según ha comunicado la
FOX. Esto viene dado porque hay un descontento en los directivos y productores ejecutivos con el
rumbo que estaba tomando la serie en los 6 últimos episodios de la
temporada. Así lo ha expresado Howard Gordon, productor ejecutivo de la
serie, que también ha anunciado que ese parón servirá para reflexionar sobre
el rumo de la serie y reescribir los guiones que corresponden a esos seis capítulos
finales
Habrá que esperar a ver cómo se solucionan los problemas, y si finalmente el
producto que nos llegará esté a la altura de lo que los seguidores esperan
después de haber estado esperando durante tanto tiempo para seguir las aventuras de Jack
Bauer. Estaría interesante saber porqué no les han gustado esos capítulos
finales, los motivos reales y las diferencias con lo que finalmente veremos en la pantalla.
Desgraciadamente estos cambios nunca suelen ser buenos. Habrá que esperar para
comprobarlo…
Le Samsung Player Addict, connu également sous les références i900 ou Omnia,
arrive en France par le biais de l’opérateur SFR. Si la version 16Go est une
exclusivité de l’opérateur, une seconde version 8Go est également
disponible.
Il s’agit d’un PDAPhone 3G/3G+ sous Windows Mobile 6.1 équipé
d’un écran de 3,2 pouces en 240×400 pixels, embarquant 16Go de mémoire,
une puce GPS, un APN 5 mégapixels, le Wi-Fi, le Bluetooth 2.0 stéréo, radio
FM RDS etc.
Parmi ses points forts, Samsung propose son interface TouchWiz, surcouche graphique
ajoutée à Windows Mobile permettant notamment d’utiliser des widgets
sur la page d’accueil, la possibilité de lire les vidéos aux formats
Divx et Xvid notamment et la toute dernière version du navigateur
Opera permettant une consultation aisée des sites web.
Le Player Addict est également équipe d’un
accéléromètre, d’un capteur de lumière ambiante et d’un
touchpad permettant de déplacer un curseur de souris via l’écran.
Tout n’est cependant pas parfait. Sorti de la surcouche graphique TouchWiz, on retrouve la
déplorable interface graphique de Windows Mobile et grosse
déception, Samsung persiste à proposer sa prise propriétaire pour
les casques en lieu et place d’une prise mini-jack. Il faut alors passer par
l’adaptateur fourni
Dans la chaleur du mois d'août, quelques disparitions passées presque inaperçues
mais qui nous ramènent, à des degrés divers, à ce qui forme notre histoire
personnelle du cinéma.
Isaac Hayes a passé l'arme à gauche. Universellement connu pour le thème du film
Shaft, premier gros succès de la blaxploitation en 1971, il signera
plusieurs autres bandes originales, contribuant à renouveler le son des films des
années 70. Suffisamment marquant pour des réalisateurs de Hong-Kong le pompent sans
vergogne pour illustrer leurs histoires de kung fu (One armed boxer de Wang Yu
si je me souviens bien). Pas forcément très amateur de ce genre de musique, il reste
pour moi le folklorique Duc de New-York dans Escape from New York de John
Carpenter. Donc respect.
Don LaFontaine qui vient de disparaitre était la voix des bandes annonces américaines.
« In a world... », « In a time... », cette voix
chaude, grave et posée nous a ouvert les portes des grands espaces. Connu jusqu'à la
caricature, cet homme ne manquait pas d'humour comme le prouve cette bande annonce pour le film
The comedian de Jerry Seinfeld dans lequel il se parodie lui-même. Plein
d'informations et de liens chez Forgotten
Silver, in a blog before time... Donc respect.
Manny Farber et Francis Lacassin sont décédés en août. Manny Farber
était un critique de cinéma américain prestigieux, de la génération des
James Agee ou Andrew Sarris. Peintre aussi. Je ne crois pas avoir lu un article de lui, mais je
l'ai souvent vu cité dans les livres de cinéma, encore tout récemment dans
l'ouvrage de McBride sur John Ford. Une référence qui m'était ainsi
familière. Je vous invite à lire l'hommage qui lui est rendu via des écrits sur
Jean-Luc Godard sur Balloonatic. Lacassin,
c'était autre chose. Lui je l'ai lu et, même si je suis un peu jeune pour cela, je sais
l'influence qu'il a eu dans la défense d'un cinéma marginalisé dans les
années 50 et 60, le cinéma de genre, le fantastique, l'aventure, l'érotisme, la
science fiction. Lacassin comme Ado Kyrou ou Jean Boulet, écrivait sur les soucoupes
volantes, Dracula, Feuillade ou Tarzan dont il était le spécialiste. Peut être
plus connu pour son travail sur la bande-dessinée et de directeur de collection (chez 10/18
c'est lui qui a publié toute l'oeuvre de jack London ou Bouquins), le titre de l'un de ses
livres résume son idéal : Pour une contre histoire du
cinéma. Donc respect.
Une nouvelle version intermédiaire de MAME vient de sortir. Voici ce que la MAME Team nous
propose cette semaine:
MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
- 00596: [DIP/Input] pocketrc: The car turns only to the right and there is no way to calibrate
controls. (smf)
- 02075: [DIP/Input] mooncrgx: Cabinet DIP setting is duplicated. (MikeDX)
- 02137: [DIP/Input] rockduck: DIP setting for LIVES is incorrect (MikeDX)
- 02179: [DIP/Input] lethalej: lethalej crosshairs backwards (Luigi30, MikeDX)
- 02035: [DIP/Input] gwarb: Guerrilla War bootleg doesn't need a rotary joy (robiza)
- 02174: [Sound] dkongjr and clones + mario and clones + pestplce: Music speed regression (Aaron
Giles)
- 02173: [Crash/Freeze] radarscp, radarsc1: Hang or Reset before game start. (Aaron Giles)
Source Changes
- Optimized DISCRETE_RCDISC_MODULATED. Added X_TALs to circus. Optimized DISCRETE_RCINTEGRATE and
DISCRETE_555_ASTABLE. Optimized DISCRETE_555_ASTABLE_CV and DISCRETE_MIXER. Optimized
DISCRETE_555_CC.
The 555 and mixer changes also speed up just about every current discrete game. [Derrick
Renaud]
- Added updated information about Sorcer Striker and moved Fix Eight bootleg PCB layout down by the
roms like the other layouts in the driver. [Brian Troha]
- Added redumped roms for the Bubble Symphony (bootleg with OKI6295) set. [Brian Troha]
- Started removing extraneous enable lines from the discrete modules. Most modules are always
enabled anyways. [Derrick Renaud]
- Changed MCS-48 core to write p1 and p2 on reset. [couriersud]
- dkong/dkongjr: use MB8884 as sound cpu / verified on schematics. [couriersud]
- mcs48.c: Use banking to handle ea line: [couriersud]
* Adds MCS48_INTERNAL_ROMBANK define to header
* Drivers which need to control the ea line have to initialize banking for internal/external
rom
This is not yet optimal but works as expected with existing drivers and modified mario.c
- Changed MCS-48 EA line handling to use an explicit bank for now. [couriersud]
- Added EggVenture readme to lethalj.c. [Guru]
- Changed sound cpu type in saiyugb1 to I8748. [couriersud]
- dkong.c: S2650 based games consolidated [couriersud]
* consolidated memory maps for S2650 based games
* renamed handlers to s2650_*
* joined protection handlers
- Added Cruis'n USA and new Raiden DX/2 readme. Cleaned up some documentation in raiden2.c. Renamed
"Raiden DX (set 2)" to "Raiden DX (Tuning license)", and renamed ROMs to match the actual PCB.
[Guru]
- Updated documentation and disk/ROM names in segas24 based on new information. [Brian Troha,
T.Fujita]
- Removed "game_no_sound" from the 2 Hotrod games (in segas24.c) as all 3 seem to have the same
sound capabilities. [Brian Troha]
- toaplan2: [Brian Troha]
* removed duplicate info
* changed most speeds to "xtal_xxMHz" define
* corrected Battle Battle Bakraid Z80 clock based on readme info
- Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs for 'aso', 'alphamis', 'arian' (same as 'alphamis'), 'tnk3',
'tnk3j' (same as 'tnk3') and 'athena'. [stephh]
- Improvements to galaxi driver... [Roberto Fresca]
*Added Magic Joker.
*Fixed the 3rd background offset to Galaxi.
*Remapped inputs to match the standard poker games.
- Began the "big IO_MAP merge of 2008". A number of drivers have had their I/O space address maps
merged. [Andrew Gardner]
- Changed the default bootleg gwar pcb to be joystick only, and removed code duplication. Fixed
jcross cabinet dip switches. [Nicola Salmoria]
- M377xx: 8-bit I/O port reads no longer cause bogus reads of neighboring ports. [R. Belmont]
- Removed unnecessary ARM7 hooks so MRC and MCR disassemble properly. [R. Belmont]
- Updated TMS5100 LPC tables based on mathematical analysis of 1st and 2nd derivatives of the
values and comparison to the best quality patent image, which nearly always showed which values
were in error. Some off-by-one issues may remain, but it is now nearly perfect. Further perfection
will require PROMOUT dumping, which is planned.[Lord Nightmare]
- snk update: [Nicola Salmoria]
* added another ikari us clone
* renamed ikaria to ikarinc (for Ikari No Continues)
* ikari is the JAMMA board, with conitnues
* ikaria is the non-JAMMA board, with continues
* ikarinc is the non-JAMMA board, without continues
* fixed sound in Jumping Cross
* adjusted some input bits in several games
* merged hal21.c into snk.c
* removed hacks and kludges
* fixed colors (I think--though some sprites do look weird)
* fixed emulation of the "SNK Wave" custom sound used by Marvin's Maze and Vanguard II and made it
into a proper sound core
* fixed palette decoding of early SNK games (from marvins to athena + fitegolf). The least
significan bits were assigned incorrectly.
* merged marvins.c into snk.c, with all resulting fixes (removed hacks, correct shadows, scroll
offsets etc)
- Replaced aso ROMs (which were possibly from a bootleg) with split ones that are definitely from
an original. Renamed ROMs across sets accordingly. [Nicola Salmoria]
- Converted timekeeper to a device, all default contents are loaded from disk. slapshot &
opwolf3 read/write memory map have been merged. [smf]
- Shadow Force changes: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
*Added irqs ack
*Implemented raster irq
*Fixed coin2 and service input not working during the game
*Added watchdog
*Fixed visible area
*Added video enable and irqs enable flags
- Added decryption of 39in1. Doesn't get far due to very odd RAM check routine. [Andreas Naive]
- Changed all MCS-48 chips to have a 12-bit address space, regardless of internal ROM size. [Aaron
Giles]
- Enabled internal COP410 program map. [Curt Coder]
- Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs for 'hal21', 'hal21j' (same as 'hal'), 'fitegolf', 'fitegol2' (same
as 'fitegolf') and 'countryc'. [stephh]
- Changed refreshspeed target to 0.25Hz below rate provided, in order to guarantee that inexact
timings do not lead to sound stuttering. [Aaron Giles]
- Added Fist of the North Star and (partial) Demolish Fist sets (Atomiswave) and decryption.
[Andreas Naive]
- Added PCB info for Hard Yardage & earlier World Class Bowling. Corrected a few rom names.
[Brian Troha]
- Split core laserdisc functionality into separate file ldcore.c. Each player now gets its own
source file, along with new hooks which enable more precise control over the behavior. Updated the
PR-8210 and LD-V1000 implementations to the new spec. Other players will come online shortly.
[Aaron Giles]
- Changed laserdisc scan behavior so that it requires a constant stream of signals to continue
scanning. Updated ldplayer accordingly.[Aaron Giles]
- Updated debugger to pass running_machine around where appropriate. Added running_machine to
several devices which really should eventually be converted into proper devices. [Oliver
Stoenberg]
- Concluded input port cleanups for drivers W->Z. Changed Primal Rage start buttons into input
buttons. Removed unused protection bit in Driver's Edge. Introduced a new PORT_CUSTOM which returns
a tagged input that can be used to route bits from one port into another. [Fabio Priuli]
- Added the missing SHA1 checksums to the atrowar set. [Oliver Stoenberg]
- Added basic implementation of the "update ended" interrupt flag to the MC146818. [Barry
Rodewald]
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status
- Video Poker [Grull Osgo, Roberto Fresca]
- Black Jack [Grull Osgo, Roberto Fresca]
- Video Dado [Grull Osgo, Roberto Fresca]
- Video Cordoba [Grull Osgo, Roberto Fresca]
- Magic Joker (v1.25.10.2000) [Roberto Fresca]
Riding a motorcycle while talking on the phone is just plain dumb. But if you really must take
that call, Mr. President, please consider a Bluetooth helmet. Some connected headgear can even
tie in to your GPS and MP3 player, pausing tunes for directions on long trips. Might we suggest
"Freebird"?
Nolan N102 N-Com $740 Every new N102 works with Nolan's N-Com connection kits,
so if you're not ready to ride into debt, you can get the base helmet for $350 and add Bluetooth
when the next paycheck rolls through town. Modular models like this — where the entire
front flips up to expose your face — are in vogue only with the AARP set, but as the
demographic profile of the classic Cadillac owner proves, old men know how to live it up: This
incredibly nerdy brain bucket is also incredibly comfortable and incredibly capable.
Wired: More hookups than JDate: Bluetooth, intercom, even a 3.5-mm jack for your
iPod. Quick-release chin strap is mega-convenient. Flip-front easily accommodates bifocals.
Volume control. Tough paint hides scratches well. Can I get this Geordi La Forge-style flip-down
sunshade installed on my skull? Tired: Noisy, but all modulars are. Microphone
boom requires constant relocation when taking the helmet on and off — and apparently makes
you sound like you're trying to eat it. Can't we get some Bluetooth stereo? Fulfills its destiny
as the Winnebago of the helmet world by being one of the largest headpieces on the road.
Garmin Zumo 550 $964, garmin.com The
fullest-featured, most motocentric GPS on the market, the Zumo 550 can do it all: MP3 player,
Bluetooth integration with your cell phone, traffic monitoring (optional), satellite radio
(optional), and many other functions to explore before you hit the road. It's also
water-resistant, so if you're brave enough to ride in a deluge, your GPS will be there to guide
you, turn by slippery turn. Wired: Left-hand-mounted hard buttons give quick
access to zoom, volume, and ... uh ... "square"? (It's the compass.) More mounting options than a
[bleeep!]: brackets for your car and bike, plus the wiring for both. Tired:
Text-entry screen is alphabetical instead of QWERTY, which is just A-B-C-Dumb. Battery life tops
out at about two hours. Optional features can rack up quite a bill — and the Zumo is
already expensive.
Dainese Airstream Course D-Nect $599, dainese.com The Airstream Course is Dainese's premier skull shield,
sharing its shell with the models pro racers use; the D-Nect version adds Bluetooth. Despite it
having fewer connectivity options than the Nolan, we found ourselves grabbing the Airstream more
often. Why? It's simply better at its primary job: motorcycle helmet. It's lightweight,
comfortable, and quiet. No, it won't jack into your MP3 player, and yes, the interface is
maddening — but after a few hours in this composite sanctuary, we really didn't feel the
need to call anyone to complain. Wired: Gorgeous lines draw more compliments
than a playoff ring. Outstanding ventilation and polystyrene foam liner keep your head cool
— until someone cuts you off. Top-mounted spoiler stabilizes your noggin at speed. 1-900
operators reported excellent sound quality. Rear reflective patch makes up for the too-stealthy
matte paint job. Tired: Limited techno-functions: All it does is pair with your
cell phone or GPS. One-button interface responds only to Dainese's Morse Code-ish tap-language.
Available in any color you like, so long as it's black.
Jack Linden has dropped the next shoe on mainland policy changes in Second Life, while gamers can
expect plenty more shoes, this one at least seems to have been widely welcomed, increasing the
overall crack-down on what are known colloquially as ad-farms.
Just yesterday we got our first taste of Panasonic's new TH-65VX100U plasma technology, which features specs that meet or exceed Pioneer's
Kuro. Our initial impressions were extremely positive, but the guys at HD Guru have managed to get their hands on an early production sample for a
closer look. Needless to say, they were impressed. In fact, they called it the "new king of flat
panels."
During the review they broke down some of the technology behind the eye popping specs, as well as
taking note of a feature set that is high on performance and low on ordinary TV functions. Being a
monitor, the 65VX100U does not feature a built-in HDTV or analog tuner and standard definition
source imputs like composite and S-video. However, it does include 4 HDMI jacks, one component
video, one PC input (VGA), and a RS-232 jack.
As far as performance is concerned, HD Guru compared it side by side with the 50-inch Kuro and
found that Pioneer won on ultimate black level and in the effectiveness of its anti-reflective
screen, but the latter results in an purple-reddish tint that can be clearly seen when compared
side by side with the 65VX100U. The Kuro also requires a higher level signal to come out of black
which obscured details that the Panasonic did not. All in all, it seems that if you have $10,000 to
plunk down on a 65-inch flat panel, the 65VX100U should be at the top of your list. [HD Guru]
