I love hearing about this kind of horror story from successful past projects- especially from a company as legendary as Pixar. Just goes to show that even the best of us make terrible, terrible mistakes once in a while (not counting Cars 2).

Blastr: Little-known sci-fi fact: A computer glitch almost killed Toy Story 2

These days, we remember Toy Story 2 as one of the great animated film sequels of all time, and as proof that Pixar Animation Studios was more than just a CGI flash in the pan. Certain Pixar staffers w…

So Nvidia looks to make cloud gaming more viable as an alternative to local-based gaming through future products. I guess the question then becomes: are they going to license this technology out to third parties to run the cloud game services, or will they try and plant a flag in the market themselves?

I remember hearing about Google Web Fonts a while back and thinking, “Huh. This could be cool eventually.” Flash-forward to now, and I’m blown away by how much this pet project has progressed. Embeddable fonts aren’t just a neat trick anymore, limited to web developers with too much time and bandwidth on their hands. Now anyone with a modicum of development skill can drop unique, eye-catching fonts right into their site- not images, but real fonts.

There are over 500 fonts, free to use, and importing them is as simple as copy/pasting some code. They even threw in a handy gauge to show you how much of a strain the fonts will place on your page’s load times. I’m currently experimenting with importing some very style-specific fonts into my site’s splash page, and so far the process has been extra-simple. Anyone out there who’s into typography and web/graphic design, should immediately add this site to their bag of tricks.
