Get Your Broadcast TV Anywhere

Posted by michael on from the your-ideas-intrigue-me dept.

circletimessquare writes "Ken Schaffer, who made his name inventing a wireless microphone and a satellite telephone service, has a new offering called TV2Me. It's basically MPEG-4, improved upon, that allows for what he calls 'best of class' streaming video over a normal broadband connection. Right now, his only clients are rich sports fanatics, but he eventually wants to make his technology as ubiquitous and as essential as TiVo is to some."

    Oh, I see. Sorry, moderators, you're on the right drugs. The story submitter is on the wrong ones. I never thought to check a link to his name as if it would go to something other than a biography of some sort. Guess the submitter wanted to be artistic instead of making sense. My bad...

    you've been found in a goof, and rather than admit your bad, you attempt to mitigate it by insulting me (i'm the story submitter)

    when link etiquette (of which there is none in slashdot story submissions, take a look around) is more weighty than personal attacks, you win

    until then, all you've just done is made yourself out to be even more of a fop with your followup post

  5. Corea = Korea by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    From Wikipedia:

    In English, until the end of the 19th century, the name "Corea" was used almost exclusively, with "Korea" only coming into common use at the turn of the 20th century. This has given rise to a widespread ideas that says that the name "Korea" was favored by the Japanese around the turn of the century. Since Japan was after Corea in alphabetical order, Japanese nationalists would have decided to favor the upper-case "C" into a "K", thus changing "Corea" into "Korea" in order to gain alphabetical supremacy. However, "Korea" was also used along with "Corea" in English-language documents very early in very limited amounts. The Japanese-modification theory, while widely in favour among nationalists, is dismissed as an urban legend by most Japanese.
