How about this concept, hooking a video capable ipod to your camcorder and using it as a dump drive, then being able to review your DV footage on the ipod at half resolution.
Totally conned. Sure "region locks" may be gone, but that just means the DRM has gotten far more specific. Chances are the DRM has made region lock redundant at some level, so they're spinning it as a benefit to the format of HDDVD.
And I too shall continue supporting Blu-Ray, for a reason not often mentioned anymore: The Blu-Ray technology was built with expandability in the earlier days. From what I recall, the utilization of multiple layers could increase the BD size from an initial 50Gigabytes to half a terabyte- and this was is just not possible with the HD-DVD standard. Anybody else recall this important design spec?
I sort of thought that was the benefit of open source.. Shouldn't flaws be uncovered? Wasn't that the objective of peer review, to make the application stronger through public trials?
You know what, I just noticed that myself. The Raw clean sound of live-to-disc recordings. I witnessed a "master" of a live event recorded to disc on the fly and realized that since the disc was never authored in the studio, no advanced sound compressions or eq trimming was ever applied. I heard sound pitches so intense that I had to back away from the speakers. And this made me wonder if it's because the audio was never authored for the "safe zone" of equipment. The prime example is a track the other day of Gordon Lightfoot, and I could hear that the way the sound came out of the speakers, the dynamic range was governed to the technical limitations of speakers when that song was released back in the mid 70s.
Come on chums, let's talk about the real topic of conversation! CODEC!!
Obviously quicktime I bet, but.. what's the tech eh? H.264? Sorenson? Does it have to be 176 x 132 as the Ipod Nano screen shows? Can it scale? The Audio I can only assume is AAC/MP3/MP4
Vector GUI is the only thing that really excites me about Vista. Taking that power of the GPU and having it control all the visuals just like a video game (Blizzard comment in mind "Zug Zug":D ).
Just thinking that when I resize my desktop resolution, the chrome and interfaces can stay relatively proportionate to the real estate while adding increased resolution is hot stuff. Animating vectors will be supa sweet. And I'm thinking way beyond whatever OSX has. I checked out those icons.. they're just bitmaps... I thought they were sweet little vectors but alas I was dissapointed.
See.. I'm already starting to save up for a screen thats the size of the astrometrics lab on Voyager with the curvature and everything. I know it will be possible and yes, OH YES it will be mine.
I thought that was the song that went with Win95? I remember the video clip of that on the disc, it was a bunch of people sitting on a couch watching this beater car roll and it went "Good Times Bad Times Give me some of that."
I'm saying that DCC can go client to client, and therefore can go faster than a 33.6 Modem. Why would I say this? Because DCC stands for Direct Client Connection.
Yeah because getting your mom or dad to jump onto IRC and log into #mylittlechat on Effnet and then DCC your latest video project over 350megs is going to happen Right? I don't think so.
For YEARS and YEARS Microsoft Messenger has sucked the big one with file transfers. It drives me INSANE how one person in my list will get 53KB/s and somebody down the block will only get 3.8KB/S. Firewall? No. No firewall. No explanation. Full out open ports with all lights green and it runs like snot in the arctic.
I thought MAYBE switching to Trillian would give me the benefit of ICQ without the ads (which it did) and MSN without the transfer blunders, but alas, nay. Although I have stuck with Trillian, it's not the complete solution as the software can only do as much as the protocols allow.
So.. giving me a sweet efficient communication system that can be accepted by the masses, not have advertisements flying at my face in animated GIF glory, and NOT give me a dejavu of a 33.6 Diamond Supra modem, Count Me In.
Speaking of things that can be done, the movie was all fine and dandy.. but it would be 98% more impressive if it could display the gradients between WHITE and BLACK.
The only thing I could really make out was when the security gaurd's white shirt gets chucked around.

Firewire 400. Gone baby, gone.
The title should have said "Linux: Sabotaging Linux Desktop Adoption Sabotage"

Yay!
:D
Man if we could just get actual VGA or DVI in wireless we'd be set.
lol-putting it next to a TV... Awesome.
Just watch, they used TTTech chip based testing equipment to test TTTech chip based equipment. *GREEN LIGHT*
Le Sigh..
Or having the gorillas corner the walking stick market.
Hahaha, they blew up Congress!

woOt go Netscape 4.04! 486SX 33Mhz Burning up that highway. Probably has one of those fancy Compact Laser drives too.
Whats the bitrate of an itunes song?

How about a Coleman laptop? Complete with sparker and Blu-Ray (not the pilot light)

Answers. I need Answers, or at least an effort
Just watch.. a nuclear cruise ship will be up next. And just watch, those atoms won't be the only thing causing friction *wink wink*

Then there was that sad bumper car game... oie.
Locks. They are making locks. Heed their locks. If you don't heed Lockheed's locks then you probably won't heed the lockdown.

Efficiency is relative.

I see that tapping has become redundant.
sad.
Or even better, put Connectix VGS for Win95 on it an emulated a PSX on the PSP through WIN95 x86 :D
All in the name of FFVII.
