10:07 am: A quick showcase of some native iPad apps: eBay (EBAY), WebMD, Iron Man, the FT, Elements, a periodic table app by Wolfram Alpha. The Wolfram representative says his company earned more from the iPad app during first-day sales then it earned from five years of Google ads on PeriodicTable.com
11:00 am: Ubillos demos titling in a movie and notes that the device uses geolocation to actually identify the locale at which a film was recorded. Five iMovie themes are included in app. Three movie export sizes up to 720P HD. And now a video reel of a short HD movie shot and edited entirely on iPhone 4. Pretty slick. Flip camera folks are probably chugging Mylanta right about now.
Table No 21 Movie 720p
My best friend's brother just got this new handheld iPod-like thingy. It's South Korean, has (approx) a 4-inch screen, can play 720p video and music, movies, pictures, etc. Everything that an iPod can do (plus 720p vids), but on a bigger screen. I'm in the market for a new portable media player device thingy that's not and iPod and this thing looks like it fits the bill. Only thing is, I have no idea what it is, what it's called, or where to look for it. Does anyone know of such a device, or where I could buy one? flaminglawyer 00:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi. Our article on 720p states that it is 1280x720 and mentions absolutely nothing about 1366x768. However, every single 720p TV I've seen advertised in South Africa has a resolution of 1366. Actually to be more accurate, they are always advertised as "HD Ready" rather than 720p. Similarly, 1080p TV's are advertised as "Full HD". Now at the moment we still don't have digital broadcasting although it WILL come in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Not sure if it wll be 720 or 1080.
I'm looking to get an "HD Ready" LCD for gaming (Xbox360) and watching TV series via PC. So in light of all this, is there anything to be concerned about? If any of these sources are coming from a 720p signal, stretching it to 1366 would probably look terrible given how close the ratios are. On another note, I've noticed that most graphics cards (including the onboard graphics on my PC) only support 1360x768 as a standard resolution. What would happen to the extra 6 pixels? Will the display from the PC look absolutely horrible (trying to stretch itself horizontally)?
Thank you for replies so far, but none of the links indicated (or links to the links) are Windows programs. It may be possible to get the GNU program to run in Windows if you have a degree in computer science, but I do not. There is a Wikipedia table comparing different file comparisons programs, but it ommits to record if they compare binary or merely text, and all the ones I have come across so far are only text. So I'm still looking please. Thanks again. 78.146.240.116 (talk) 15:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Is the superuser model really suitable for modern OSes? Reading about the trojan on the iLife torrents really made me think... is the superuser model any better than the everyone-is-admin "model" that Windows uses? Viruses and rootkits may start using these social engineering attacks to gain root access, so Unix systems are only slightly more secure than Windows systems. Plus, Windows does have a better security model, even if it's not used - ACLs for all processes/threads/files/objects, privileges (GNU/Linux has PolicyKit though), etc. Can anyone point me towards any resources/papers on this subject? All the stuff on the web seems to be fanboy-type material biased against Windows. Thanks in advance. --wj32 t/c 21:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Watching "whatever's on" TV -- or shelling out for cable so you can see a particular show -- is so last decade. With an ever-expanding array of movies, TV shows and other video content available online, more and more TV watchers are opting to connect their TVs to the Internet, either to supplement their cable or satellite package -- or to replace it entirely.
For many, the easiest and most cost-effective choice will be getting a streaming set-top box, often for $100 or less, and plugging it into an existing TV. Most of these boxes are small and easy to set up, but there's a bewildering array of options out there, each with its own pros and cons. Some connect to the Web only via Wi-Fi, while others have a wired Ethernet port as well. Some support 720p HD content and others support full 1080p HD.
All can stream online videos and music, but only some integrate live TV. Several of these streamers offer Web browsing and gaming, and they all let you watch certain shows and movies online when you want to, not when a cable or network broadcaster wants you to.
To help you decide which streamer is right for you, we've rounded up 14 current set-top boxes from seven vendors, highlighting the features, capabilities, extras and gotchas of each. Our table of features shows you at a glance how each device connects, what kind of storage it has, which online services it can receive and more.
Apple's third-generation Apple TV integrates well with the iTunes entertainment ecosystem; you can watch a variety of movies and TV episodes at up to 1920 x 1080 resolution, listen to music or even look at your family photos.
What you can watch: While it can't browse the Web, deliver local TV stations or integrate cable TV, Apple TV does offer a nice assortment of subscription-based online programming, from Netflix and Hulu Plus to live sports via MLB.tv, NBA.com and NHL GameCenter. Much of the content, however, needs to be purchased individually from the iTunes store at roughly $2 for a TV show or $4 for a movie. Unfortunately, there's no unlimited monthly or annual subscription plan.
Scalable images respect the user's base preference, which may have been selected for that user's particular devices. Module:InfoboxImage, which is used in this infobox, accommodates the use of scaling. However, setting the appropriate scale is slightly more complex than setting a raw "px" value. This guide provides a quick conversion table to make the process of setting a scale easier. It is based on a default thumbnail setting of 220px.
The title of the source material and the name(s) of the source material writer(s). Use this field in conjunction with screenplay and story where applicable (i.e. "Screen story") if movies are based on previously produced or published material, such as books, plays, articles, old screenplays etc. 2ff7e9595c
