The duel of the dual-layer DVD formats
[Archived in Dvd R Video, Dvd Video Quality, Entry]
Avatar on 2003/12/29:
„The DVD+RW camp, which includes Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Philips, plans to put so-called "double-layer" DVD recording devices on the market by next spring. Discs on these systems are expected to hold 8.5GB, or four hours of DVD-quality video (16 hours of VHS-quality video). That's about the same amount as the DVDs studios use to issue movies. But the so-called "dash" camp promoting the DVD-R and DVD-RW formats also is working on dual-layer recording, which involves writing data on two separate surfaces, layered like coats of paint, on a DVD.“

Of Winters Past

„My mother was a real genius. We were truly blessed.After reading this, and after talking with my Mom, I looked around my house, and considered how easy life is in terms of what my Mother describes - I have running hot and cold water, toilets and showers, a dishwasher, a furnace, a washer and dryer, stove and fridge, microwave, computer, television, CD player, tape player, VHS player, DVD player; oh, and clothes and food, too. I never have to step on a cold floor, and only need one extra blanket in the winter. My furnace hums along quietly, and I seldom think about it.“

niraj on 2003/12/23:
„In fact, money has always been a sore point among the cast members, given that Jerry Seinfeld-- and co-creator Larry David-- receives the lion share of the proceeds from production, syndication, and, now, video and DVD sales. Jealousy is common among casts of successful television shows, but I believe, in this case, it is misplaced. Jerry Seinfeld rightfully deserves compensation commensurate with his responsibilities-- not only as an actor, but a writer, a co-creator, and an executive producer.“

mbowen on 2003/12/19:
„Classic within the DVD is the Apollo 440 music video in the features. Everything about it is perfectly reminesent of the turn of the century, rivalling the Propellerheads' singlular album. The sountrack, even the script, is all about downloadable soundbiteyness.“

Knoppix. Vaio. Excellent.
[Archived in Dvd Cd Recorder, Entry]
Luke on 2003/12/12:
„I grabbed the latest version of Knoppix and almost everything works out of the box. Ethernet driver, keyboard layout, DVD/CD recorder, ethernet driver, soundcard, USB, PCMCIA, APM, and so on. The two things not detected were the camera and the monitor's wide screen aspect (even though I fed the correct resolution to the boot menu). It even detected and loaded agpgart and the Intel i830 driver - so I have out of the box 2D and 3D acceleration.“

„DVD players are quickly catching up with VCRs in popularity, but they still have a long way to go. Ninety-eight percent of American households have at least one TV, and 92% have a VCR, but only 41% have a standalone DVD player. In homes with Internet access, however, DVD players have achieved 61% penetration.“

„While visiting my folks I had the opportunity to do some consumer electronics shopping with my dad. He wants to convert all of his (aging) VHS collection to DVD, and since the greater portion of my early piano performances (age 5-15) is among those tapes, I decided to help him pick out a DVD Recorder.“

New Computer

estone on 2003/12/06:
„My first "PC-compatible" computer was one I built myself in about 1997, and I've been using that same computer ever since. Of course, over the years I've updated the processor, and the motherboard, and the memory, and the hard drive, and the video card, and the case, and the keyboard, and the mouse, added CD-RW and DVD drives, etc. In fact, the only original piece of equipment still left on the computer may be the 3.25" floppy drive, and I'm not too sure about that.“

Invisible hand
quanta on 2003/12/05:
„By now, most of you have heard the sad tale of the Florida woman being trampled at a Walmart in the early Thanksgiving rush for a $30 DVD/VCR combo player. It is, of course, tragic that people will have such disregard for human life over a piece of cheap electronics. After all, the DVD player is most likely made of substandard, lousy parts and will probably only last a couple years anyway.“

„They use the new MiniPC case format and add in instant on for FM, CD and MP3 playing (so you don't have to boot the PC part). You can buy the bare bones kit and add your own CPU, hard drive, video card, DVD player, speakers, etc.... It is a good platform to get into home theater and pc meets stereo very cheaply (and geekilly).“
