The New York Times on the Web, which is owned by The New York Times Company, has been considering charging for years and is expected to make an announcement soon about its plans. In January, The Times's Web site had 1.4 million unique daily visitors. Its daily print circulation averaged 1,124,000 in 2004, down from its peak daily circulation of 1,176,000 in 1993.
Yeah Crucial memory did cause problems for my Ibook G4 800MHZ. Called customer support and they told me for that the newer single sided memory seems to cause problems on ibooks. At least internally at Crucial it's a known issue for a while. Outside I couldn't find any mention of it. Why they can't post a disclaimer on the site is beyond me. Anyway, the double sided ones didn't work either so I got a full refund.
Furthermore when these kernal panics happened, Apple refuse to have anything to do w/ it. They just keep telling me to buy their RAM which at the time was twice the price I paid at Crucial. At the end, I bought the Apple (made by Samsung I think) and it works fine now. Though I have a bit less respect for both Apple and Crucial now.
I've been doing a little bit of research with this and I came up with a pretty good alternative to a pc tuner. It's a video processor (essentially an external tv tuner that hooks up to your monitor and adjusts the tv/video signal to fit the refresh rate and resolution of your monitor). The pc doesn't have to be turned on - a big plus to me because it gets pretty hot in the summer with it on. Furthermore, I can avoid the process of turning the computer on, waiting for it to boot, and then clicking the application.
The picture is supposedly be better too. The ViewSonic NextVision 6 has an hdtv tuner so it's a bit more future proof than some others. It can also do progressive scan so your xbox and gamecube games can really look good.
The only benefit of an TV tuner card is that most of them can capture video as well. But then I have a capture card to do that.
The only caveat is the price, a bad review on amazon about how it screws up the computer screen, and how it's supposedly not TRUE hdtv. (I'm not sure how true that last one is - I haven't done enough research.)
Actually, the idea and implementation had been around for years. I used to work with an ITV platform called Wink that had it. One of their major revenue sources were these ads.
Btw, for those of you who had it (DirecTV being the biggest carrier), it came up as a little "i" on the top-left corner of the screen. The main problem of these interactive ads was the "interactive" part. With the time needed for the itv ad to come up plus the time needed to read the ad plus the time needed for the "interactive" part of pressing a button to order a brochure or something, the commercial was over!
Well, DirecTV didn't renew the Wink contract in December 2003 so don't bother looking for those ads anymore. Some cable companies still carries it, though.
