Cupertino Snake Oil

By slacy|TV, Web|2 Comments

Ok, I have something to say: Yes, Apple announced an iPhone. No, its not for sale. In fact, if you look closely, there’s not a single photograph of the device. Steve wasn’t holding it and flaunting it on the show floor. Its all CGI renderings and screenshots. This thing is a long way away. My [...]

NBC HDTV Content is very “ghosty”

By slacy|TV|Be the first to comment!

I just want to say that the HDTV content that NBC is broadcasting has *way* too many ghosting artifacts. Its clearly evident in any high motion scene thats broadcast. There’s a clear ghost of the previous 3 or 4 frames. At first I thought it might be my TV or something, so captured the raw [...]

By slacy|TV|Be the first to comment!

I’ve been thinking — is DVI really the right connection when you have a system involving multiple video processors going on? My logic is that most video systems (quality Video Processors like the iScan HD+, will have all their internal processing at 10-bits per channel. This is also true of many Plasma TV’s, that have [...]

meevee — pointless?

By slacy|TV|1 Comment

Okay, so driving back from San Francisco this weekend, I saw a giant billboard for meevee near the airport. I went to the site to check it out, and entered my zipcode and TV provider. I found the following: It pegs the CPU of my 2.4 GHz machine and freezes all my browser windows for [...]

At this time, I’m compelled to say that Google launched video playback on video.google.com today! I think its pretty neat — my favorite video is called “Why I Love Shoplifting from Big Corporations”.

Is there NOTHING good on TV?

By slacy|TV|2 Comments

Nothing new, nothing good. Man, I hate the summer. That said, I am sort of looking for something new and [...]

Its an easy 15 minutes per week on Cartoon Network. What’s inspired me to write this is last nights TiVo-inspired episode. Basically, guy sits down and says [...]
