Sirius streams are only 32kbps, although we don't know what the XM streams will be.
They are constantly having server issues. Sirius message boards are full of "is your online streaming working today" threads.
Not all SIrius channels are available online. Its pretty much music only, no news, sports or entertainment. XM has indicated that it will have music and "a variety of other content" which I assume means that they don't have all the contracts signed yet for all the content providers but it does seem like it will have more choices than Sirius,
The streams found in iTunes "radio" playlist are not owned, operated or beholden in any way to apple. They can all be found on other streaming-radio-finding-services like shoutcast.com so they are a subset of what the parent mentioned, not an addition.
This is probably their best strategy at this point. Apple US sure doesn't want to cough up "possibly the largest settlement in history" and without a concession like this, the court is unlikely to rule in Apple US's favor.
I don't see any (ahem) reason to use this feature. The killer app for resolution-upsampling, or whatever, is front-projection TVs! Instead of optically zooming up your image to full wall-size, complete with pixels larger than lego bricks, use this technology to zoom the signal up to the native resolution of a hi-res LCD projector. (or highest res available if its a CRT)
Really interesting read. It exposes quite a difference between austrailan corporate radio and american corporate radio. Here, that conversation never would have taken place, because corporate controls everything. The DJs have no say in pretty much any programming decision, so they never would have approval to "bury" a band, nor would the band ever had the chance to call in and attempt to make peace the way the guys in your link did. Unfortunately, if Aus allows companies to own lots of radio stations like they do in the US, your radio will eventually sound just like ours.
Hah. Nice one. Reminds me of the news report i heard about a new technology to deliver full-screen video with multichannel sound straight into users homes.
Haha, you seem to think that the DJs actually select and play the music you hear on the radio. They haven't done that on most stations for at least 15 years. They don't even discuss playlists with program directors, they just start and stop the pre-programmed, computerized music playlist sent down from corporate and make dick jokes.
Yeah, your previous post wasn't clear. The poster said that 1080i (meaning 60 fields/sec) had the same bandwidth of 1080p (meaning 30 full frames/sec) and you said they were wrong, which they weren't. Personally, I think 60p is overkill, not even IMAX has a framerate that high, but then most 1080p work right now is being to to present film at its native framerate without telecine.

You underestimate modern video compositing tools. Given enough time and money, a coked-out has-been 40yo p0rn actress can look like a 19yo supermodel on video. Thing is, most videos are not made with much time or money.
Read the parent post. I was refuting his claim that sony's miniDV was "proprietary" which its not, that it required custom software, which it doesn't, and that it speaks to open source to which its irrelevant. I didn't say that sony is perfect and its too bad you've had bad luck with them. Actually, I had to get rid of my JVC deck because it gave me problems with tapes made in panasonc, sony, canon and even jvc cameras. Replaced it with a sony deck and suddenly all of those tapes work fine now. Seems to play well with others on my desk.
540 lines per second? Hehe, try 1/60th second. Parent was correct. 1080i shows 540 lines 60 times per second, 1080p shows 1080 lines 30 times per second. Zero-sum game, basically.
Often when editing DV, you aren't making new frames, you're just cutting and shuffling around the existing ones, so when you export, many of your frames are not recompressed. This is more difficult with MPEG. because it uses interframe compression and you often don't have an entire frame to work from. I'd be willing to bet that when you capture from this camera, it comes into FCP/Premier as HDCAM somehow so that you don't edit in MPEG2.
RTFA: "The HDV spec was agreed upon as a standard by Sony, JVC, Canon, and Sharp for new high-definition consumer camcorders last year. Along with the announcement of the new Sony HDV camcorder comes support from major video editing software companies including Apple and Adobe"
Go on the DV boards like 2-pop or creative cow and find me all the people who are unable to use sony's "not recognized and not standard" DV VTR's and cameras. They ARE standard and any editor that can capture DV can get video from them just as easily as from a JVC, Panasonic or Canon. No drivers necessary.
The great thing about being cyber-harassed is that its documented! Is a principal going to belive your word that so-and-so threatened you between classes or a log of threatening IM's?
Well someone is lying. The publisher said they weren't trying to get the domain name, and the writer said that she did not instruct her lawyer to attempt to get the domain name. So are we to belive that the lawyer tried to get the domain name on thier own accord? I find that hard to belive.
Aleph1 doesn't count, thats a new engine for an old game. I, unfortunately, find the marathon series frustrating to play, now that I am used to more than 15 degrees of vertical visibility. Was a kick-ass game for its time, though.

Dude, where you been? This has alreday been going on since the XL1 was out, last century. Only change now it can be in HD.

Yeah, I just noticed that. So much for trying to pull a clean matte from a greenscreen shot. DV will actually work BETTER for that.
Whats the point of 8mp when HD is less than 1.5MP? DV is less than 0.5mp! High pixel counts are for stills. (and marketing brochures)

I saw a news report about this happening in mexico. A local coca-cola bottler became mayor and outlawed competing soft drinks.

Oh, man. I must just suck then, I can't get past the 2nd level with the cursor keys. On the actual machine, I could get to the last level.
I will always consider it the true test of a game player.
What do you use to play Marble Madnesss? I tried a trackball once, but gave up in frustration trying to calibrate it.
