Flash Papervision 3D - 3D Animation Using Cube Class | Part 1



Its a nice 3D rotation type of effect, you can say it a sort of 3D animation. The cube will rotate around the camera according to your mouse movements, to give an illusion of 3D rotation. Wann view the 3D animation.

Using Papervision 3D API, Action Script 3.0 and by the help of Plane Class of Papervision 3D this small application is developed. You need Flex SDK for compiling this stuff. Its free available for developing application.

Source Code:

import org.papervision3d.scenes.*;
import org.papervision3d.objects.*;
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*;
import org.papervision3d.materials.*;

// Create the container Sprite
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
container.x = stage.stageWidth * 0.5;
container.y = stage.stageHeight * 0.5;
addChild(container);

// Setup the 3D scene
var scene:Scene3D = new Scene3D(container);
var camera:Camera3D = new Camera3D();
camera.zoom = 5;

// Create the material
var bam:BitmapAssetMaterial = new BitmapAssetMaterial("layer");// layer is the class name for the bitmap image imported to the library
bam.oneSide = false;
bam.smooth = true;

// Create the 3D cubes
var c:Cube = new Cube(bam, 300, 300, 335, 5, 5, 5);
scene.addChild(c);

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, render);

function render(e:Event):void
{
    camera.x = (mouseX * 5)-(stage.width*0.5);
    camera.y = (mouseY * 5)-(stage.height*0.5);
    c.rotationX += 5;
    c.rotationY += 5;
    scene.renderCamera(camera);
}

Different types of Hard Disk Drive


Hard Disk Drive - It is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surface. 

Types of HDD :
  1. IDE : Integrated Drive Electronics. IDE drives are also known as PATA drives( Parallel advance technology attachment )
  2. SATA : Serial advance technology attachment 
  3. SCSI : Small Computer System Interface. SCSI is pronounced as scuzzy.
  4. SAS : Serial Attached SCSI


IDE / PATA (Integrated Drive Electronics Drive / Parallel Advance Technology Attachment Drive)




  • IDE/PATA Drives have usually 40 pins.
  • IDE/PATA Drives offer 133 MB/sec transfer rate.
  • It sends 8 bit data at a time. 
  • PATA Cables are used to connect PATA HDD. Two drives can be connected in a single pata cable. One as master and other as slave. The configuration of master and slave is done by different combination of jumpers in the hdd.
SATA (Serial Advance Technology Attachment Drive)




  • SATA Drives have usually 7 pins, 4 pins in pair of two for sending and receiving data and rest 3 pins are grounded.
  • SATA Drives offers generally 300MB/sec transfer rate.
  • It sends data bit by bit.
  • SATA Cables are used to connect SATA HDD. Only one drive can be connected in a single sata cable.
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface Drive)




  • SCSI Drives have usually 50 to 68 pins.
  • SCSI Drive offers generally 640MB/sec transfer rate.
  • This drives are hot swappable. 
  • SCSI cables are used to connect SCSI HDD. Maximum of 16 drives can be connected in a single scsi cable. Each hdd have a 8 bytes hexadecimal code known as WWN (world wide name) for its identification in the cable.
SAS(Serial Attached SCSI Drive) 



  • SAS Drives generally offers 805 MB/sec transfer rate.
  • This drives are hot swappable.
  • SAS Cables are used to connect SAS Drives. Maximum of 128 drives can be connected in a single sas cable.

DDR/DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM - The neurons of computer

For last few days I was searching for a 2GB DDR2 memory chip to upgrade my laptop memory. And during this search I come across a memory chip developed by PRO. PRO are developing neurons for computers means 'memory modules'. They provide lifetime warranty on the factory original computer DDR2 memory for Apple, Dell, HP, IBM, Sony and Toshiba. Isn't it awesome ?

Technology on which memory(DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM) depends:
  • ECC Registered - Error Correcting Code enabled RAM. It requires mother-board support. Basically used in servers.
  • Fully Buffered DIMM - It is used to increase reliability, speed and density of memory systems.
  • SO-DIMMS - Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module, these are used in systems which have space restrictions such as laptops.
  • DIMMS - Dual In-Line Memory Module, contains a series of dynamic random access memory integrated circuits. Designed for desktop,workstations and servers.
  • RDIMM - Registered Dual In-line Memory Module
On what does today's server, laptop, Mac or PC depends ?
All the above mentioned technologies Quality ECC Registered, Fully Buffered, SO-DIMM, DIMM & RDIMM DDR Memory Modules.
Guys don't think that by just installing any branded DDR3, DDR2, DDR Memory Modue RAM in your server, laptop, Mac or PC does not implies that your system will work at its best. Even if you install oem (original equipment manufacturer) DDR2 memory modules, they will not guarantee that your system will work at its peak. But PRO memory upgraded system will be in top during benchmark because its memory modules are equipped with all the new technologies (ECC Registered, Fully Buffered, SO-DIMM, DIMM & RDIMM DDR Memory).
As I am a Software Professional, I need lots of memory for developing programs, running IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and business application softwares simultaneously. In my analysis I found Pro memory module expansion is the best for developers and end-users. May be it 8GB, 4GB, 2GB or other RAM module expansion options trust PRO and upgrade your computer memory like a PRO!

Sony VAIO will come up with Google Chrome as default browser



Sony is now Google new distribution partner. It has happen for the first time that any Software Company had tied up with any Laptop Development Company for distribution of its products. The internet giant Google has made a step towards distributing its own browser "Google Chrome", after a year of its launch.

According to this new distribution deal with Sony, all new Sony Vaio laptops will now come preloaded with Google Chrome as default browser. One of the benefit of this deal is Google will be the default search engine in all new Sony Vaio laptops. It will again start a new war between Microsoft and Google to become default search service provider in new Sony Vaio laptops. Despite of all this Google Chrome has to cover a long distance to become No. 1 browser. As Internet Explorer has 58.47% market share, Firefox has 31.65% market share, Chrome has 3.23% market share but it has surpassed both, Opera and Safari web browsers market share.
