First Clips and Screen Shots: G1 Gets Video Recording Through Android Update May 31, 2009

Asus Eee Top PC ET1602 Review May 28, 2009
When we tried video calls with Skype, everything looked and sounded good on our end, but those we communicated with often complained of a low frame rate when viewing our video feed. Overall, the Eee Top feels quick and responsive provided you're not trying to run more than a couple of programs at a time, otherwise the Eee Top's processor and memory ceilings become quickly apparent.

PowerLite Home Cinema May 22, 2009
This frame rate feature is all the rage right now, so it is understandable that Epson felt the need to include it on at least its top model, but in reality the FineFrame capability is a mess here.

Smashing Toys May 6, 2009
Ramping up the detail settings sends the frame rate plummeting without doing much to improve the visuals. The game does spend a lot of CPU power showing off physics effects; the tracks are cluttered with cardboard boxes, barrels, and traffic cones that you can send flying upon impact, though slamming into a barrel doesn't do much to affect your overall speed.

World's Fastest Camera: New Type Of Imaging May 3, 2009
To catch such elusive moments, a camera must be able to capture millions or billions of images continuously with a very high frame rate ... It is simple to see why: At high frame rates, there is less time to collect photons in each frame before the signal becomes weaker and more prone to noise ... "Our serial time-encoded amplified microscopy (STEAM) technology enables continuous real-time imaging at a frame rate of more than 6 MHz, a shutter speed of less than 450 ps and an optical image gain...

Did Disney Plagiarize Its Own Animation Sequences? Apr 28, 2009
In my book, re-using poses and angles is far less of a "cheat" (if that's what we consider this) than re-using whole animation clips, cutting the frame rate, or excessive use of cycles. I think that part of this may stem from the complexity of the movements that are in the animation shown in this clip, for one thing. (Slate)

OnLive games service 'will work' Apr 2, 2009
" The service has raised eyebrows in some quarters given the difficulties of encoding High Definition video in near real time at servers in data centres, and streaming it over the open internet to a user. Delivering real-time streaming game play is seen by some as an insurmountable problem, even before factoring in the necessity of sending back telemetry from a game controller across the net to the data centre. "We are not doing video encoding in the conventional sense," explained Mr Perlman,... (BBC News -- Technology)

Instant Control For Laser Welding Mar 16, 2009
Today, welding processes are only monitored without adjustment of the laser power because the achievalble frame rate of about thousand evaluated images per second is not sufficient. For a closed loop control, frame rates of more than 10 kilohertz equivalent to 10,000 images per second are needed for a robust surveillance of the rapidly moving full penetration hole.

Benchmarks: New Mac minis Mar 9, 2009
Predictably, both Mac minis turned in virtually identical frame rate scores in the three games we tested.

Fallout 3 Patch Boosts Graphics Mar 6, 2009
The 360 version of Fallout 3 was widely regarded to be a superior port, with a frame rate that was more stable than its PS3 counterpart. However, one aspect where it did suffer in relation to its rival console was in its less detailed textures, which appeared flat on the Xbox 360; an issue that's been addressed with the latest patch, which brings specular maps to certain textures in the game (that's shinier graphics to you and me).
