  1. Re:I agree on Complaints Pour In After Digital TV Test · · Score: 1

    There is already HD over analog if your TV can handle it.

    No such thing as HD over analog, at least not in the United States, AFAIK. Either you have a digital ATSC tuner built-in or you don't. If you don't you can buy a set-top box that will convert the signal from digital to analog so your old analog only tuner tv can tune the new digital broadcast signal. HD is just coming along for the ride with the digital conversion because you can put a lot more stuff in a digital signal than an analog signal of the same bandwidth.

  2. Gyroscopes spin if I remember correctly on Nintendo Revolution Rumours Emerge · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, gyroscopes spin. They might even be said to "revolve". So I think if the rumors are true, that's the "revolution" they're talking about and we're going to see controllers with gyroscopes.

    Another piece of the rumor puzzle would fit too. The statement "Touching is good but feeling is better" makes me think of the tendency of gyroscopes to resist changes in direction off of the plane in which they spin. Any input from the controllee to the controller that wasn't in the same direction as the spin would be felt as feedback.

    I might be thinking a little too simply though.
