Giving PDFs an “Apple Keynote” flavor (on Linux and Windows)
Still I don’t have an Apple Mac or Keynote to make one of these smooth candy-like presentations.But now but there is now another more standard-compliant (OASIS) solution out there to flavor up your presentations.
It has been around awhile under the name of KeyJnote which Apple didn’t like, so now it is called Impress!ve – hopefully FOSS will like. It simply displays your presentations using full OpenGL eye-candy and adds also some nice features.
All you have to do ist to export your Presentations to PDF, best done in OpenImpress that allows javascript’ed “animated” PDF 
There’s also an option to add more specific scripting to your presentation using an .info-file like:
1: { ‘title’: ‘Title Page XXX’, ‘transition’: PagePeel },
2: { ‘title’: ‘Introduction Einführuing’ },
3: { ‘video’: ‘video.flv’ },
5: { ‘timeout’: 3500 },
8: { ‘overview’: False },
}
The project is around version 0.2.x so has still to develop. It runs stable and I like the approach – better than converting everything to Flash for consistency. I guess the thing we really need is a new extension to an XML-based presentation format like we have in OpenImpress. Or probably Apple’s Keynote XML which seems to be also an open format. But still i muss cool looking templates for presentations and beveled header text and so on…

UPDATE: Following switch does make much sense on slower computers…
-R <X>x<Y>or--meshres <X>x<Y>- Most effects subdivide the visible screen into a mesh of rectangular or quadratic pieces, each with its own coordinates and alpha blend values. Using this parameter, the resolution of the subdivision mesh can be defined. The default value is 48×36. On slow machines, lower values like 24×18 or 12×9 can heavily speed up transition rendering at the cost of visual quality. On the other hand, higher values like 64×48 or 96×72 improve quality, but use much more CPU cycles.

I have an Original iPhone 16gig and it’s totally doing the Nintendo on me. Freezing up and showing weird colored screens….sometimes taking up to 20 minutes to fix itself. So i was thinking of upgrading before it totally locks up on me. I was wondering how much it would cost to upgrade with everything included, phone, upgrade fee if their i one, all that. Thanx! BTW–is the new iPhone 3S even all that good? What are the differences between the original iPhone?

Don’t beg yourself what the fraternity needs; require yourself what makes you settle alive. And then move by and do that. Because what the everybody needs is people who have do alive.
