| Game Programming with DirectX : 3D Models - Token Stream |
| In a text file exported from a 3D modeling application, the data is usually presented in a human-readable form. In this type of file there can be line breaks, spaces, tabs, words, numbers, curly braces and other symbols, and so on. |
|
| Game Programming with DirectX : 3D Models - Files in C++ |
| In this section we will briefly review how C++ loads file data. C++ uses the standard ifstream and ofstream classes. The ifstream class represents an input file stream, and ofstream represents an output file stream. Both classes derive from the base class, ifstream, and are part of the C++ standard. |

| Sony Computer Entertainment (Part 3) |
| The games console market is contracting. Even with a new generation, the upsurge in PC gaming led primarily by Steam is grabbing more and more gamers into its clutches, and even after being the victor in the previous battle with the Wii, Nintendo’s Wii U has pretty much been a nightmarish launch at retail. |
|
| Sony Computer Entertainment (Part 2) |
| Sony Computer Entertainment was also under serious attack during Christmas 2005, as Microsoft hadn’t missed the launch window for its second Xbox format and had beat the PS3 to market, with Sony struggling so much to get the machine out that Nintendo even managed to release the Wii in the UK before Sony’s console made an appearance. |
|
| Sony Computer Entertainment (Part 1) |
| Sony never used to be known for video gaming. Sure, it released an MSX home computer in the 1980s, in association with (of all companies) Microsoft. The original PS-X was a CD-ROM add-on for the Super Nintendo. |

|
| JBL Flip Portable Wireless Loudspeaker |
| Named after James Bullough Lansing, a leading influence in the development of speaker systems that help revolutionize the cinematic audio experience, the JBL Flip is a speaker unit with speakerphone capabilities. Although bearing the same name as the camcorder Flip so dramatically killed off by Cisco, this JBL product does not have a ‘flip-out’ USB Connector. |
|
| AOC E2460phu LED LCD 24” Monitor |
| When you consider the size of the panel, the general specification and the price that AOC is asking, this all looks rather attractive. And it is, to a point. However, I'm a bit of a stickler for details, and that's where the E2460Phu comes slightly unstuck. |

| Can You Produce Your Own DJ Mix With Apps? |
| If you’re keen to get involved with making music, but learning an instrument doesn’t take your fancy, then one avenue you could go down is to start producing your very own DJ mixes. The process itself is a lot harder, however, but at the end you’ll have your very own mix you can share with the world. |

| Game Programming with DirectX : Time-Based Simulations (part 2) - The Route Class |
| The purpose of the Route class is to store a list of paths that form the animation route. The Route class has the functions AddLinePath(), which adds a StraightLinePath object to the list, AddCurvePath(), which adds a CurvePath object to the list, GetStartTime() to get the time of the animation for time-based updates, and GetPosition(), which returns the current position based on the time passed in as a parameter. |

| I'm Watch - Good Looks But Deceiving Features |
| The first thing that you would feel when you hold the watch is that it isn’t heavy in weight. Although, bulky in appearance, the I'm Watch is an exceptional looking gadget. The product's appearance are probably one of its best aspects. The wide strap makes the dial look extremely stylish. |
|
| Tracker Nation (Part 2) |
| The Fitbit One is a super-smart pedometer that tracks how many steps you take in a day, the flights of stairs you climb, the distance you travel, the number of calories you burn, and even how much restful sleep you get. It also includes a “silent wake alarm” – you can sleep with the Fitbit One tucked into the pouch of the included wrist strap, and the device will vibrate at whatever time you set to wake you without disturbing your sleeping partner. |
|
| Tracker Nation (Part 1) |
| Technology is making it easier than ever to exercise more, eat better, and live longer and the devices you need are small enough to fit in your pocket or on your wrist. |
|
| JBL Flip - A Small Device Making A Big Impression |
| Let us look at the real deal about this speaker. When we first connected our phone to the speaker via Bluetooth, it functioned effortlessly. The speaker connected instantly without any glitches. The sound quality of the speaker is nothing short of amazing. |
|
| The Audio Technica RTH-WS55 - Fits Snugly On Your Head |
| Headphones with quality builds, great performance and good value for money are hard to find these days. But, there are some international players making their way to our shores in the recent months. One of these is Audio Technica and we tested out the ATH-WS55 mid-to-high range headphones to see how they fare. |
|
| The JauBird BlueBuds X - Wireless Comforts For Yuppies |
| JayBird Gear's BlueBuds X are the company's top-of-the-line Bluetooth wireless in-ear headphone model, and they're one of the better pairs of wireless sports headphones we've used. Outstanding? Well, that depends on how good a fit you get, but we have no doubt that the folks who do get a great fit will rate these very highly. |

| How To Choose Your Own Headphone |
| Many brands start appearing in the market of closed headphone, but overall there’re only 2 types of design: on-ear and around-ear. On-ear model is also called supra-aural headphone which basically has two ear cups directly covering user’s ears. |
|
| Clearaudio Solution Turntable (Part 2) |
| I connected the Clearaudio Solution to my reference system comprised of the Ayre Klxe preamp (with Ayre’s built-in phono preamp) and three Theta Enterprise mono block amplifiers powering a pair of Dunlavy SC-IV/a loudspeakers and one Dunlavy TSW-VI tower subwoofer. |
|
| Clearaudio Solution Turntable (Part 1) |
| There’s no doubt that vinyl playback has seen resurgence in recent years. Local Hi-Fi shops have been advertising and stocking more tables as a way to generate interest again. They are supported by the music industry’s constant supply of both classic and new releases on vinyl, spanning all genres or music. |
|
| Musial Fidelity M6 - Outboard DAC (Part 2) |
| With the 1957 jazz classic Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section (Contemporary 0025218633826) the M6 via USB really managed to convey the gripping, cliff-hanging quality of the alto sexist’s solos, flashes of genius shining through. |
|
| Musial Fidelity M6 - Outboard DAC (Part 1) |
| There’s long been discussion about who was really the first to get a separate hi-fi digital-to-analogue converter on the market. Arcam claims the honor, with its original Black Box appearing in February 1989, but almost as quick off the mark was Antony Michaelson’s company, Musical Fidelity. |
|
| MusicWorks ReFlex Ultra - Mains Adapter |
| There are currently two models in the range, the $675 ReFlex Lite and the $1,335 ReFlex Ultra. On the face of it, the Ultra looks like a six-way mains block from a fashion house with all that glossy-glass curves. But every nut, bolt and facet of the Ultra, we are assured, has earned its place in the final product. |
|
| The Jabra Solemate - To Music With Love |
| Jabra has veered from its tradition of making hands-free Bluetooth devices, to actually make a mobile speaker system. It's compact, and it's got Bluetooth as well. On paper, it looks good as any mobile speaker that we've encountered in the recent months, but does it have the goods that will manage to impress audiophiles and/or the casual listener? |
|
| Audio Research REF-10 Preamp (Part 2) |
| Inserted in place of my REF5SE, between the astonishing Marantz SA- 11S3 SACD player and the REF75 stereo power amplifier, driving Wilson Sophia 3s, the REF10 taught me a lesson with the impact of a slap in the face. As amazing as I found the SA- 11S3 when reviewed with the Marantz PM- 11S3 (HFN Feb ’12), I had no idea quite how superior a disc spinner it is. |
|
| Audio Research REF-10 Preamp (Part 1) |
| Having reviewed Audio Research’s Reference Anniversary preamplifier, and had my REF5 updated to SE status, I thought I’d savored all there was to desire from an all-valve control unit. How wrong I was: the sorcerers at Audio Research have improved on their best in such an embarrassingly short time that I cannot even muster a suitable analogy. |
|
| Audeze LCD-2 Headphones At Music Direct (Part 2) |
| There’s a natural temptation when listening to a review product to choose items of music with which you are long familiar. But I find that useful insights are often obtained by listening to something new particularly, in my case, if it’s a piece of classical music that is outside the mainstream and might be labeled as ‘difficult’. |

| ASUS Orion Pro - Jack Of Both Trades |
| When buying a new pair of headphones, it’s always vital to first determine where you would use it most. For playing music, a well-balanced sound is what audiophiles usually look for, but this is not the case for gaming headphones. When you play games, you don’t always need balanced sound. |
|
| TuneAudio Marvel – Loudspeaker (Part 2) |
| Attesting to the resolving power of the Marvels, despite their limited bandwidth, they proved more than adequate to the task of revealing the sonic superiority of Reference Recordings’ high resolution ‘HRx’ 24-bit/176.4kHz master files. |
|
| TuneAudio Marvel – Loudspeaker (Part 1) |
| If you want a hi-fi system to create some semblance of lifelike scale and dynamics when playing recordings of a favorite band live in concert, or a symphony orchestra in full flight, it makes sense to apportion a large part of loudspeakers you can sensibly accommodate. |
|
| Wilson Audio Alexia - High Performance Loudspeakers (Part 3) |
| To hear pure ambience, I played an Allen Sherman cut, recorded at a party some 50 years ago. “Sir Greenbaum’s Madrigal” (Now That Sounds Kosher; Shout! Factory DK30336) reeks of atmosphere. You are transported to an intimate club, swept up in the laughter. |
|
| Wilson Audio Alexia - High Performance Loudspeakers (Part 2) |
| Auditioned over a period in two systems, one Audio Research-based the other powered by darTZeels, both exposed first and foremost one overriding aspect of the Alexia’s behavior. It’s the sort of loudspeaker that reveals all one could wish to know about every part of the audio chain that precedes it. |
