Portal 2 map creator

The idea is that Players will be able to create maps. And other players as you and me will be able to play the created maps in Portal 2.

The "Perpetual Testing Initiative" allows players to easily create, share, and play Portal 2 puzzles. The Initiative comes with a simplified puzzle maker that allows that creation of mind-bending puzzles without ever leaving the game.
"Perpetual Testing Initiative" will be available for the PC and Mac on May 8th.

Count divs in div with jquery

Solution for: We have several elements ( tags ) for example divs, in div or other object which can contain elements inside it with certain class or ID, and we want to count how many there are the certain elements. For example we have several divs:

<div class="div1">
 <div></div>
 <div></div>
 <div></div>
 <div></div>
 <div></div>
</div>

JQuery counter for the divs inside the div is:

$(document).ready(function()
{ 
 var divs_count = $("#div1 > div").size();
 alert(divs_count);
}

Disabled input with JQuery

We have in html inputs like text, radio, select and textareas.

In my situation i had radio inputs and i needed to create trigger which should effect other inputs ( disable them ).

My inputs:

<input name="order_type" type="radio" value="2" /><br />
<input name="order_type" type="radio" value="3" /><br />
<input name="order_type" type="radio" value="4" />

Other section which i want to disable:

<input class="viewspereach" name="text" type="text" value="" />

JQuery:

$("input[name=order_type]").change(check_ordertype);
  
  function check_ordertype()
  {
    var order_type = $("input[name=order_type]:checked").attr("value");
    
    if(order_type == 4)
    { 
      $(".viewspereach").prop('disabled', true);

    }
    else
    {
      $(".viewspereach").prop('disabled', false);
    }
  }

Diablo III Release Date

Finally greatest game of all time!!! only 2 months~ left.

59.99 €  for pre-order.

After many delays, Blizzard has finally announced the release date for the long-awaited action RPG Diablo III. It’s due out May 15th, 2012. The game is available for pre-order now.
That doesn’t mean D3 is finished, though. In a press release, Blizzard said, “We look forward to putting the final polish on Diablo III over the next two months.”
The company has removed PvP capability from the initial release in order to avoid further delays, saving it for a post-launch patch that will let players battle one another.

Microsoft Flight Free to play

Free to play Microsoft flight simulator!

Microsoft's Flight Simulator has long prodded gamers to splash out on hardware upgrades and insane joysticks. Like Madonna, it's reinvented itself for the 21st century as a single-named free-to-play game for those who want to zoom around the skies of Hawaii. The company will make its money by selling premium add-ons including new aircraft and "adventure packs." The game is now ready for download (at the source link) and, if it proves popular, Redmond should expect a nice gift basket from AMD and NVIDIA this Christmas.

We’re proud to open the hangar doors and present the future of flying on your PC. Whether you’re a complete newcomer to aviation or an experienced PC pilot, we believe you’ll enjoy flying with us.

There’s a lot to do in Flight’s version of Hawaii, from basic flight instruction to hunts for hidden Aerocaches, from experimenting with different aircraft to showing off your skills in aerobatic...

Mind Controlled Skateboard

Mind Controlled Skateboard of the Day: Chaos Moon Labs broke new ground earlier this year with their Kinect-powered skateboard, the Board of Awesomeness, but now they’ve moved on to something even more awesome: a mind-controlled board that they call The Board of Imagination.

Quote

The Board of Imagination is powered by an on-board Samsung tablet running Windows 8, which is connected to an Emotiv headset.

Once the headset has been trained, the rider can focus on a point in the distance and think about how fast he wants to get there, and the board will do the rest.

The vehicle tops out at around 32 mph, and it has enough battery power to go around 10 miles at that speed.

Distractions are still a problem, though. The creators say the board was tougher to pilot in downtown Austin, TX, where the company is based, than it would be on an empty street. The mind-controlled board is much simpler to steer than the earlier Kinect version, though.

Facebook Identity Card

The FB Bureau is handing-out personal identification cards for a limited number of Facebook citizens, interested in alpha testing.

Next time someone needs to “see your ID” – How about showing a Facebook ID card instead of the documents your government gave you? On the web this is common practice for millions of people already. Therefore – Forget privacy.

Can I See your Facebook ID?

With more than 800 million users Facebook is the dominant identity system on the web. When signing-up for new services around the open web it's quite common to use Facebook Connect instead of creating a new user account. People stop ranting on blog comments because they only allow comments connected to your "real name" aka "Facebook Identity" (till the end of time). For the good or bad we are losing anonymity and Facebook Inc. is establishing order in this "world wild web" (for profit, not necessarily for the good of society).

Governments like Germany have released new passports that offer online identity checks as well, but they will likely never succeed with their technologies given the already existing structure of Facebook, powered by lazieness (or convience). The other way around though - A future where a Facebook Identity becomes more important than any governments' doesn't seem unrealistic. This possible future is already half-way there. What is exciting about this, what can be our role as artists and why should one even bother? Let's find out!

Next time someone needs to "see your ID" - How about showing a Facebook ID card instead of the documents your government gave you? On the web this is common practice for millions of people already. Therefore - Forget privacy. The user's next battle is about nothing less but who controls your identity, and we still might have something to say about it.

Blizzard Downplaying Diablo III

Manager tells such thing. Its incredible! They say "don't take candy", but as we know the more you tell "don't", it becomes more desirable.

Blizzard Downplaying Diablo III of the Day: Blizzard’s Diablo III is one of the most-anticipated games of the year, and repeated delays have only made fans hungrier to get their hands on it.
One Blizzard community manager, Bashiok, is worried that there’s no way a game could live up to all that hype, so he’s taken to the Battle.net forums to manage gamers expectations by telling them that Diablo III isn’t that awesome.
“Stop thinking about how awesome this game could be. Just imagine it’s a new M. Night Shyamalan movie. SureSixth Sense was amazing and Unbreakable had it’s moments, but this right here is the sequel to The Village,” Bashiok wrote.
Although he’s got a point — the hype for D3 may have created an impossible bar for the game to clear — it’s unusual to see a game company’s public relations team telling fans to be less excited about a new release.
Maybe the M. Night Shyamalan twist to this story is that Diablo III will be the most amazing thing Blizzard has ever created. Either that, or Deckard Cain was dead all along.
Barring any further delays, we’ll find out sometime in the second quarter of 2012.

Faster Than Light Neutrino Error

The faster-than-light neutrino result measured by the OPERA experiment at CERN last September now appears to have been the result of a bad fiber optic connection between a GPS receiver and a computer.

The neutrinos appeared to make the 454 mile journey from CERN in Geneva to the Gran Sasso Laboratory 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light — a finding that contradicted Einstein’s special theory of relativity.
After tightening the connection and re-running the experiment, researchers found that the 60 second discrepancy was eliminated. Further tests are being run to confirm the source of the error.

IE image spacing issue [Solved]

Today / yesterday i faced with IE image spacing issue, which was like pain in my ass.

In Chrome, Firefox and other good browsers everything was perfect, but in IE navigation bar with background images and just images which can be clicked was not perfect. 

Solution for this is just to add CSS for the images with attribute display block.

Example:

.tablewithbadimages img
{
    display:block;
}

Update ( 2012.01.30 ):

Another solution for this is check if user's browser is IE and do something for all other browsers and other values for IE.

Example:

.footer{

  height: 40px;

}
