  6. Most low-cost DVD players are unlicenced. on The Hidden Costs of Bargain Electronics · · Score: 5, Informative

    Philips, which along with Sony and Pioneer has hundreds of patents covering all aspects of the DVD system, is administrating the granting of licences and the collection of royalties, which are then shared equally between the three manufacturers.

    The Dutch electronics giant has set up a dedicated website -- www.licensing.philips.com -- which features a list of licensed manufacturers from its licensee database. Philips maintains the website is kept up-to-date with the latest licensing information.

    A leading importer of DVD players, who asked not to be named, told ERT Weekly: "This is big news. We have found most low-cost DVD players do not hold the necessary licences.

    A Philips spokesman said: "There are a number of manufacturers that don't have the necessary licences.

    IIRC but cost of a licence is around $25.

    Motorola a920

    The Nokia is more of 2.5G phone since there is no support for video calls.

  9. Still no videocalls. on Nokia 7600 All-in-One Phone · · Score: 1

    Making it unusable for most 3G vendors so who is gonna sell it? The main selling point of 3G IS videocalling, despite what Nokia says. And just 28 Mb memory making it a crappy mp3-player (and that memory is for storing pictures as well).

    Like this you mean (been discussed here before):

    Live Phish

    What are Live Phish Downloads?

    Live Phish Downloads are an extension of the multi-CD Live Phish series launched in October 2001. As with the CDs, the downloads feature complete, unedited, mastered shows from Phish's extensive archives. The download format is a natural progression for the serious collector and the new fan alike, offering an opportunity to listen not only to older shows, but to shows from a current tour very soon after they've happened, mastered directly from the soundboard.

    How much does it cost?

    The price of each show is based on format and length. Each show is available in two formats: MP3 (standard) and FLAC (premium). Most shows are two sets, but some (like New Year's Eve for example) are three sets.

    What do I get?

    After completing the purchase process you may download the entire show in the format you've chosen. Individual tracks or sets are not available as separate purchases ?you may only purchase shows in their entirety. For those who wish to burn the shows to CD, we have created printable PDF files for the CD labels, booklet and tray liner.

  12. FLAC beater: Monkey's Audio on Phish to Sell Downloads of Concerts · · Score: 1
    Hey, they could have saved on bandwidth costs if they used the Monkey's Audio codec at http://www.monkeysaudio.com. It's pretty cool.

    But no Linux/Mac support yet I belive

  13. Importing bookmarks. on Phoenix 0.5 Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    Phoenix is nice but since it cannot import opera bookmarks, what good is it to me? To steal marketshare from other browsers it should be able to import more than IE bookmarks.

  14. Long live 70mm! on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Well maybe if they tossed out the crazy idea of digital film and started to show movies in 70 mm, then maybe I'll go to the movies more often.

    Really, most movies look like crap in the teaters, dark, dull colove that dull, greyed look and slightly out of focus. I thought LOTR should have that dull grey look after going to the movies but after seeing the SVCD/DVD-wow! Size isn't everything (no really;) ) and that is all the advantage a cinema has, IMHO.
