Is it Live or is it Memorex Crappy CS?
oh dear, another day, another poor online customer service experience . . .
A few days ago (see previous post) I had a poor experience using a companies Live online chat service. The problem there was caused by a lack of information on the part of the operator and, it would seem, their supervisor.
Today I had another question to a different company called Heatmiser Read more
Am I going mad?
I’ve just finished what should have been the answer to a simple question directed at thetrainline.com website
I have their free iPhone application installed which allows you to download a 7 day timetable for a specific journey so that you can access it when you’re out of coverage (say underground?). The problem I have is that I can find no way of updating the timetable, despite the app continually reminding me that it was downloaded on November the 19th.
After several minutes of frustrated clicking around their website I hit the ‘Contact Us’ link Read more
Video: Gran Turismo 5’s insane “Data Logger Visualization Technology”
Shared by jodrell
Aside from GT being just a bit too smooth in places, like where the car runs over the curbs, this GT5 Vs Real life split screen is hella impressive!
So… “Data Logger Visualization Technology.” That’s a long and uninformative name. Technology that visualizes… data. Data that was at some point logged. What they’re trying to say is that they loaded up a real race car with monitoring gadgets and took note of a bunch of data — steering, throttle, G-force, and all that stuff — and logged it into a file. This file can be read by Gran Turismo 5 and produce essentially a 1:1 recreation of an actual real-world lap. Sure, you could race your own ghost, but why would you, when you can race Michael Schumacher’s?
This is only possible because the tracks and cars are simulated with such meticulous detail in GT5. Various scanning and storage technologies have allowed an almost unbelievable amount of precision, and although it’ll never be the same as actually going 140 around whatever circuit, it’s getting miiighty close.
