Virtual Barbershop - Amazing Audio

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

I came across an audio called Virtual Barbershop couple of days back in David’s blog. It is by far the best Audio Effect I heard. You might be thinking you need 5.1 ( or 7.1 ) channel audio system to get the best audio effect. Wrong!!! All you need is a pair of simple earphones.

Listen to this with your earphones, preferably open ear type. http://david-heron.me.uk/blog/2007/04/08/virtual-barbershop/

You could also play it from your favorite MP3 player, from http://www.david-heron.me.uk/blog/wp-content/VB1.mp3

If you’re interested in the technology behind this, refer to Binaural Recording. The excellent shareware software BrainWave Generator also uses binaural audio.

I would be happy to receive your feedback.

Fedora 7 released

Friday, June 1st, 2007

Fedora team announced release of Fedora 7 on 31-May-2007.

This release’s key highlights include

  • It’s not Fedora Core anymore. Starting this release, it will just be called Fedora.
  • KVM integration with Fedora’s graphical virtualization manager virt-manager.
  • Experimental nouveau driver for nVidia video cards. This might be good news for people who are required to compile the nVidia drivers with each kernel release. The driver is disabled by default.

Fedora team has already posted a Schedule for Fedora 8 , which is planned to be released in about 5 months.
