You have a point on the fake frames. I don't have anything capable of generating 120Hz as source material, or for displaying it. So in-store demo is really all I have. I suppose I'd have to watch the 120Hz interpolation in slow motion to see if the artifacts are the cause. Maybe it's because too much motion blur is missing after the interpolation (more than should be for that amount of interpolation).
Just for the illusion of motion? That's around 12fps, which is what cartoons use. 60fps is the start of fairly smooth motion, but 120hz is in uncanny valley territory for me. Too smooth, but not smooth enough.
On a temporary basis, anyway. It tells you where the settings are and lets you "disable" them, but the settings can come back if you want to change it from "Selective Startup" back to "Normal Startup," meaning you still have to go into regedit or the start menu itself to clear the entries out.
I think MS decided to "speed up" the boot process in previous versions by showing the logon prompt sooner (before a larger percentage of windows components had loaded). It still took the same amount of time, but you log in earlier in the process with the supposed apparent effect of a faster boot.
This might at least tighten up that same delay a little.
That's a typical American town of 3,500 people in the midwest. They don't all have a Wal-Mart, but where on earth does a town of 35,000 look like that?
I subscribe to Groupon's daily emails. I do also subscribe to LivingSocial. I do NOT scour all the bargain hunting web sites out there. Nor do I trust most of the clone web sites. I hate getting too many junk emails every morning, so that's a certain amount of loyalty they've earned. If they keep promoting mostly spas or expensive getaways, they might lose that.
And that makes you wonder how they're running broke. They get more profit than the restaurant does (they don't buy the raw food materials). In fact, they probably profit on running restaurants into the ground. The fact is, this type of coupon is only a good game for high-margin businesses. Spa services, restaurants, and the like would be crazy not to take advantage of probably the most convenient form of 2-tier pricing. One of the restaurants I found on Groupon and continue to go to regularly makes it very easy to find "buy one entree, get one free" coupons, but you'll find dozens of people at the restaurant paying $9/plate without the coupon.
I've been doing the same for years. Since I'm on a Hackintosh and use an older version of Final Cut Studio, I'm stuck on 10.6 for now. Nice to know that they're including that feature.
But unfortunately, Apple having this patent is either being used as an excuse to drive sales of new laptops (to replace broken motherboards) or general patent fears.
And at their price, I would still just go to a yard sale and buy them for 50 cents. Although if they offered the ROM's for $1 each, I'd save myself the trouble.
Sorry - that's a requirement that kids don't understand. You have to understand the requirements fairly well to follow along. You might think that tracking finances is simple, but to a kid, the whole idea is essentially foreign.
Watching the 30-second bunnies clips is pure agony with a 20-second starz intro, 20 second starz outro, and buffering time. I only made it through a few because it took too long.
Thanks for being the first to say it. Their content was all converted in a very lousy way. Plus, there was an intro/outro. There was a series of 30-second shorts I wanted to watch on Netflix via Starz. It was a 25-second intro for Starz, the 30 second content, and then the 25-second outro. Watching 50 seconds of crap for just 30 seconds of content. And that's in addition to the fact that even their SD content is outright blurry on an HDTV.
And if everyone could retire at 40, there wouldn't be as much to lose in running your body into the ground. Those people willing to work 70-80 hours a week aren't even willing to think about making it to middle age and still having a job.

Those must really suck

Their fault or not, it's now public.

difference is, they've probably already blown through $25 million in VC funding paying for things like super bowl ads and infrastructure.

The expiration date is listed up-front (no login required), and the offer only runs for one day. How would you do that?
You just have to do a 50% threshold B&W conversion. I don't know what the equivalent command in GIMP is.

RAID1 DNA?
Ah, because of course all logic is limited to Boolean logic.
Not to mention the cytokine storm that happens if you can't slow the process down enough.

Yes. I completely gave up. The rest of the Internet doesn't stream on my Blu-Ray player, and as a matter of convenience, I gave up.
Not if the kids don't eat it.
