It's common for me, my gmail address is my first initial and last name. I've gotten everything from reminders about doctors appointments, to personal emails with attachments, and even receipts that included a full address and partial cc number. It's one thing if a third party gets the address wrong and sends it to me by mistake, but it's baffling when I get emails where it's pretty obvious the individual couldn't enter their own address correctly.
A handful of people with a particular view on how the internet should be run have a super pac.
That completely misses the point of what the super pac is for, which is campaign finance reform. That's it. Nothing else. What I think Woz is saying is that any intelligent political debate about the internet and technology policies can't happen in the current political system, and campaign finance reform is the best bet at changing that system.
I live in a major city and have a pretty fast connection, I tried OnLive a bit last year and felt the video stream was still way too compressed. Why have real-time rendering in a game if the stream of it is going to be filled with artifacts and a capped frame rate?
I agree, Whedon would be a great choice, but I'm pretty sure he's got contractual obligations to The Avengers sequel that will keep him busy the next few years. I don't see Disney delaying their Star Wars plans for him.
I'm not sure what DP stands for where you come from, but I've always known it to be the Director of Photography, the title given to cinematographers on film sets. To say that most TV shows don't have cinematographers is false, they all have a director of photography.
The majority of television shows are still shot on 35mm film. About several years ago, some sitcoms started shooting instead in HD video to try and reduce costs. Some dramas have followed, but the number of shows shot on HD is nowhere near the majority.
Television shows definitely have smaller budgets than movies, but they both have time constraints in their shooting schedules. If movies only shot 5 scenes a day, they would fall behind schedule and over budget very quickly. The DP's job is the same for TV shows and movies, to use their knowledge and skills to light a scene according to the artistic vision of the director. To say that it doesn't count as real cinematography because the end product will only be broadcast on television belittles what DPs do to improve and perfect their craft.
Do independant films not use real cinematography? They can have budgets smaller than television shows and shooting schedules just as tight.
From reading some of your other posts, it seems you're dismissal of television shows has more to do with the content (writing, acting, etc.) rather than the visual aspect of the show. And I'm right there with you, you'll find more movies with good writing than you will television shows. But I disagree that good cinematography is limited to the big screen.
