An anonymous reader writes "The New York Times recently had an interesting article on the future of digital cinema. The article talks mainly about the Digital Cinema Initiatives consortium (formed last year by a group of seven major studios) and its work towards establishing a set of standards for theatrical digital projection. DigitalCinemaMag also had an article back in February about the consortium's efforts which included a few more technical details."

Digital Cameras? What about cell cameras? by Matrix272 · 2003-06-20 03:00 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Do digital cameras really have a future? Aren't they all being integrated into cell phones, which are being integrated into PDA's, which are also running double-duty as MP3 players? In 5 years, am I going to have to run to Best Buy and get a Personal Digital MP3 Cell Camera Phone?

  I think its safe to say digital cameras still have a one-up on the thingies in cell phones. When a cell phone can take 256MB worth of high quality 2048x1536 pictures we can say digital cameras have no future.

  Where is the fucking SCO story of the day?
  
  Come to that, where is any interesting article? I want to find out how to build a rail gun from readily available parts, or pictures of people blowing stuff up. All we get are "Your Whiny Bitchs Online" and "Microsoft Did Something" crap.

Ooh, passwords! Yumm!

It's taking all my self-control not to set up this account to receive every bit of spam the NYT can generate. But who should be the recipient? ... hmm, what's Hillary Rosen's email address?

(Obviously, I'm not going to use my Karma bonus on this one...)

the new kodak disposable digital camera that gives you a CD with your pictures on it along with the photos is a great idea and i think will be a great success among teens who cant buy their own Digital Cam.

I have decided I officially hate all fat people.
And that includes you. Why? Fat people are annoying.

They *ALWAYS* try to control everyone else because
they can't control themselves! and talk shit while
they're are doing it too! they'll do anything ...
just so they can stick another cake up there fat ass!

and that my friend, is annoying as hell.
I hope you feel proud of yourself. you've managed to

control an army of teenage kids who think they know
everything but actually don't know dick-all!

Oh yeah, and fat people are ugly too!

incase you hadn't guessed ... that's why you have no Girlfriend!
