    Thermal images

    As was stated in my original post, 24'C with 50% relative humidity. :) The images have been calibrated to the Pandora's black plastic body's emissivity, not to the screen's or the table's emissivity. I haven't taken any photos of it but after some more checking with the thermal camera, the...

    Thermal images

    Trashy: "If it bleeds, we can kill it" ;) The thermal camera is very sensitive, 0.1'C shows up a lot more than you'd think. The small heat marks on the table in that image are from when I momentarily brushed my fingers against the wood. My fingers never stopped, just a fraction of a second...

    Thermal images

    And now for part 2. I closed all applications, disconnected & shut off the wifi, underclocked to 400MHz opp1, closed the screen (but did not suspend it) and plugged it in to charge with the official charger. As I expected the heat to concentrate at the bottom of the device, this time I suspended...

    Thermal images

    Hi everyone, So I have access to a thermal camera at work. I don't follow these boards too closely but I don't think anyone's ever taken some thermal images of a Pandora... So I thought I should share some snapshots! First, my testing methodology: my pandora was overclocked to 800MHz OPP4...

    Instant Pandora with a premium?

    Craig, Please take a break. You being overworked to this point doesn't help anyone & makes me worry about your stress levels. :(

    Investors...

    They say it may hit parity either today or tomorrow :D I'm at least interested for more information, perhaps more.

    Development Bounties

    There's lots I'd 'like'. But a short-list of the stuff I want bad enough to cough up money for a bounty, right now (even though I don't have my Pandora yet ;P ), in order of my priority: -working Flash plugin -PSX4all mouse support via the touch-screen (big one here! Seriously will pay a lot if...

    The Nintendo 3Ds

    The moment you turn on 3D you've essentially got built-in 2x supersampled antialiasing from having two differently-rendered images overlapping in your brain. This lets you have the same perceived image quality while doling back the rendering complexity. From my own experience on my 120Hz screen...

    The Nintendo 3Ds

    From my experiences with nVidia's 3D Vision, the performance doesn't have to halve to maintain the same image quality when you go 3D. Say you're playing a game at 1024x768 with 8x standard antialiasing. When you render it twice from two different angles, this essentially acts as supersampled...

    Stuck & Dead Pixels Help!

    They've all got a similar square pattern in the same place.. Out of curiosity, are there any components/chips/heat spreaders/RF shields underneath there on the Wiz?

    Your Hometown

    Brisbane's a city in a bay, protected by islands. A sailing ship ran ashore of Stradbroke Island in 1887. Its cargo was mostly whiskey, gunpowder and Dynamite... when local people quickly began looting this highly volatile wreckage, in the interest of preventing numerous deaths they decided to...

    An Apology

    So... that implies you've already done it but aren't going to post pictures to save our eyeballs? ;P Too many people lack humility and never learn how to admit they're wrong. Props to anyone who can admit their errors & take the blame. :)

    Only when the discussion turns to Vegemite did I realise just how many Aussies there are on here o.o

    Fellow Pre-Orderers: Reveal Yourselves

    OT, but you've got me instantly interested ;) There's only around 30 or so registered in Australia & I've never seen one driving around here in Brisbane. What year/month is she? LHD or RHD? She looks like she's in good enough condition to be one of the "new" builds!
