Was going through my mail today and came across a column by David Pogue of the New York Times describing the generational divide that exists today around copyright. He walks through an interesting thought process that really highlights the different shades...
One of the complaints I've had about the PS3 in the past was the lack of an integrated IR port on the box. Because of this, if you wanted to use your PS3 as Blu-Ray player you had to either buy Sony's bluetooth remote control accessory, or use your PS3...
This one is from a site called CampaignHD , and is obviously a very pro-HD-DVD site working to encourage publishers to support the standard. Just want to be very upfront about that as this article is definitely down on Blu-Ray and quite positive on HD...
As with most things high-def, there's a lot of confusion around video codecs and what they do for you. I was pointed to this great summary of video codecs (including quality testing), and just wanted to share. It's an easy enough read such that most people...
Some interesting news on the net this weekend about Walmart apparently placing a two million unit order for HD-DVD players (worth USD$100 million). Assuming those numbers are correct, Walmart's cost per player is about $50 each. According to the articles...
Yep, here you go - worst kept secret ever. It'll be interesting to see how this SKU sells in comparison to both the Pro 360 SKU and the PS3 60 GB SKU. It's a lot more similar to the latter, and really, the biggest difference that might matter to people...

Just wanted to share a cool little web script with you called Andromeda , by Turnstyle Software . This script allows you to set up a personal web server to stream your music library to any web-connected device. I use it to access my music from whatever...
Possibly, according to this article (and reported all over the web). However, it's early yet, and unclear just how real this might be... we'll need to wait and see. For those of you who don't know, AACS is the copy-protection scheme used by...
Saw a post from Shaheen Ghandhi (of the Xbox Platform Team) describing the work that went into enabling Xbox 360's HD-DVD player. Here's a quick quote: The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player, for the most part, is an entirely software based implementation. Other...
There's been a lot of interest in the PS3 due to its stated 1080p output for both games and movies (via Blu-ray). What's interesting is that a lot of folks don't realize how meaningless 1080p actually is in this generation. Let's take games first. The...
