Tis the Season: Walmart sale of $30 DVD players causes stampede
[Archived in Combination Dvd Vcr Player, Dvd Vcr, Entry]
Tim Lauer on 2003/12/01:
„Ok, so $30 is a really good price for a DVD/VCR combination player, but is it worth nearly crushing another human being to death just to get one? Apparently so:A stampede of shoppers left a woman seriously hurt this morning. She was trampled by a crowd of bargain hunters at a Central Florida Walmart.“

Flexible Content
[Archived in Capture Dvd Video, Dvd Video Card, Entry, Video Dvd Recorder]
Andrew Grumet on 2003/11/16:
„It turned out to be trivially easy moving them directly from the TiVo to my laptop over the home LAN, but I have a pretty unusual setup. For most TiVo owners, the best bet would be to get a video capture card and pipe the TiVo's output to it, or perhaps invest in a DVD recorder .“

„Personal complaints: their DVD players are boring (Gateway sells a more interesting player), their laptops haven't improved since they used to be bleeding edge, Toshiba makes a cooler TiVo (w/ DVD recorder), the PS3 and PSP are way off, even Apple has a cheaper price point, their MP3 player line is stagnant and user-disfriendly, memory stick is almost as fragmented as all of the other flash memory types combined (Memory Stick, MagicGate, Duo, PRO), their wireless technology is absurdly overpriced... “

A new review site (to me, at least)
[Archived in Entry, Video And Dvd]
Scott on 2003/11/10:
„We cover newly released films and films on video and DVD in the genres of fantasy, folklore, and fairy tales -- even horror and dark fantasy. Regular columns include Craig Clarke's The Book of Tales (we noticed that, outside of anthologies or single-author collections, we get fairly little coverage of shorter fiction in our fair magazine. This column plugs that hole).“

Bad Parenting 101
[Archived in Dvd Vcr Recorder, Entry]
peat on 2003/11/06:
„My son also has a PC (with a cable modem), DVD, XBOX, TV/VCR and TiVO like DVR recorder in his room hooked up to a digital cable converter box with about 3 trillion and one channels! My three-year old has her own TV and VCR player in her room as well. Our lame excuse here is that they do not have to have a monumental fight every time they each want to watch something different. When I was a kid we had one TV, when we were lucky, and if Little House On The freaking Prairie conflicted with Monday Night Football, guess what I had to watch since my sister is 7 years my superior?“
