  8. Axis Cams on Cheap Video Conferencing for Small-to-Medium Sized Corps? · · Score: 1

    we use axis 2130 cams for our projects, and for the most part they do great with something like 100kbs bandwidth. granted they're somewhere in the four figures... ($1200 for ours b/c its PTZ) but its good enough quality that you can see individual's eye movements at a decent 15-20fps over business DSL lines. and the PTZ lets you remotely putz with what you want to look at.. granted there's no audio, but any midsize company can easily get their hands on a decent speakerphone setup.

    anyway, my two bits.

  25. Re:This is on topic. Honest! on Inside The Nintendo GameCube · · Score: 1

    Now back on subject --this makes more sense to me than home theater, as a theater is a place where you watch plays, a cinema is a place where you watch movies (so it should be called a home cinema rather than a home theater) and an entertainment center can contain any kind of component that serves to entertain).

    so accordingly we should drive on driveways and park on parkways?? :)
