  • History and Evolution of the Android OS
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Springer - Publisher Connector CHAPTER 1 History and Evolution of the Android OS I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this. —Steve Jobs, Apple Inc. Android, Inc. started with a clear mission by its creators. According to Andy Rubin, one of Android’s founders, Android Inc. was to develop “smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner’s location and preferences.” Rubin further stated, “If people are smart, that information starts getting aggregated into consumer products.” The year was 2003 and the location was Palo Alto, California. This was the year Android was born. While Android, Inc. started operations secretly, today the entire world knows about Android. It is no secret that Android is an operating system (OS) for modern day smartphones, tablets, and soon-to-be laptops, but what exactly does that mean? What did Android used to look like? How has it gotten where it is today? All of these questions and more will be answered in this brief chapter. Origins Android first appeared on the technology radar in 2005 when Google, the multibillion- dollar technology company, purchased Android, Inc. At the time, not much was known about Android and what Google intended on doing with it. Information was sparse until 2007, when Google announced the world’s first truly open platform for mobile devices. The First Distribution of Android On November 5, 2007, a press release from the Open Handset Alliance set the stage for the future of the Android platform.

  • Rowpro Graphics Tester Instructions
    RowPro Graphics Tester Instructions What is the RowPro Graphics Tester? The RowPro Graphics Tester is a handy utility to quickly check and confirm RowPro 3D graphics and live water will run in your PC. Do I need to test my PC graphics? If any of the following are true you should test your PC graphics before installing or upgrading to RowPro 3: If your PC shipped new with Windows XP. If you are about to upgrade from RowPro version 2. If you have any doubts or concerns about your PC graphics system. How to download and install the RowPro Graphics Tester Click the link above to download the tester file RowProGraphicsTest.exe. In the download dialog box that appears, click Save or Save this program to disk, navigate to the folder where you want to save the download, and click OK to start the download. IMPORTANT NOTE: The RowPro Graphics Tester only tests if your PC has the required graphics components installed, it is not a graphics performance test. Passing the RowPro Graphics Test is not a guarantee that your PC will run RowPro at a frame rate that is fast enough to be useful. It is however an important test to confirm your PC is at least equipped with the necessary graphics components. How to run the RowPro Graphics Tester 1. Run RowProGraphicsTest.exe to run the test. The test normally completes in less than a second. 2. If any of the results show 'No', check the solutions below. 3. Click the x at the top right of the test panel to close the test.

  • Opengl Shading Languag 2Nd Edition (Orange Book)
    OpenGL® Shading Language, Second Edition By Randi J. Rost ............................................... Publisher: Addison Wesley Professional Pub Date: January 25, 2006 Print ISBN-10: 0-321-33489-2 Print ISBN-13: 978-0-321-33489-3 Pages: 800 Table of Contents | Index "As the 'Red Book' is known to be the gold standard for OpenGL, the 'Orange Book' is considered to be the gold standard for the OpenGL Shading Language. With Randi's extensive knowledge of OpenGL and GLSL, you can be assured you will be learning from a graphics industry veteran. Within the pages of the second edition you can find topics from beginning shader development to advanced topics such as the spherical harmonic lighting model and more." David Tommeraasen, CEO/Programmer, Plasma Software "This will be the definitive guide for OpenGL shaders; no other book goes into this detail. Rost has done an excellent job at setting the stage for shader development, what the purpose is, how to do it, and how it all fits together. The book includes great examples and details, and good additional coverage of 2.0 changes!" Jeffery Galinovsky, Director of Emerging Market Platform Development, Intel Corporation "The coverage in this new edition of the book is pitched just right to help many new shader- writers get started, but with enough deep information for the 'old hands.'" Marc Olano, Assistant Professor, University of Maryland "This is a really great book on GLSLwell written and organized, very accessible, and with good real-world examples and sample code. The topics flow naturally and easily, explanatory code fragments are inserted in very logical places to illustrate concepts, and all in all, this book makes an excellent tutorial as well as a reference."
