Under Windows XP WPF true 3D content (wich is usually displayed using the Viewport3D control) looks extremely ugly because it is by default not antialiased as the rest of the WPF graphics are.

When I use the (win32) waveInXXX functions in order to collect samples from a mic at a certain sampling frequency (say 8kHZ, even lower possibly), does the system/soundcard applies a lowpass filter on the input sample, or would i get aliasing? Should I sample at a higher frequency and do the filtering myself before lowering the sampling ...

Flash: Antialiasing characters on dynamic textfields without embedding fonts, in japanese

Hi, I'm trying to achieve antialiasing on dynamic textfields in flash on a Japanese site. The content of these textfields is not fixed data. I don't have the option to embed the fonts, since embeddeding all characters will result in a very heavy swf file(3000kb+ just for the fonts). This is due to the fact that there's a large number o...

iPhone OS 3.0 + OpenGL ES 2.0. Is anyone seeing better anti-aliasing?

I have been unable to find a way to anti-alias my rendering on iPhone OS 3.0 + OpenGL ES 2.0. I had assumed there would be multisampling but that appears to not be the case.
