ViewSonic unveils 3 new HD LCDs.

[Archived in Entry]

[TV Track] While these televisions pack a punch the picture quality category, they are a little lacking in other areas. These televisions lack ATSC tuners, which will pretty much be a standard feature in high-end LCDs this year. Digital upscaling of standard-definition content to high-definition content is another nice feature you won’t get in these television. Last but no least, you won’t find HDMI inputs which provide the best connection possible for HD devices.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[Krunker] Lexicon RT-20 Universal DVD Player: Lexicon has introduced the Lexicon RT-20 Universal DVD Player - a high end player capable of playing practically every single CD/DVD format under the sun. The front of the RT-20 is made out of 1/2″ thick of solid aluminum while the back offers a HDMI interface allowing digital connections to HDTV sets. More info at DesignTechnica.

1 Adventure Texas Photography Blog: It's spring to by the way, well at least the first part of summer here in Texas so always a great oppourtunity for weekend shotting. Too much maybe. Plus I have moved to a new place over the last couple of weeks, so you should see the boxes and bags I have of paper photo sleeves from the developers. My friend commented that I probably spent a college education at H.E.B getting photos printed.

Digital Vision Fellow - Steve Ketchpel: The process continued for a week while I was in Seattle, though we did take a couple of days out to give our technical advisory board an update and gather information about the possibility of outsourcing the development work, probably to a firm overseas, in an area of the world where microcredit is actually done. Even after two solid days of plowing through a list of open issues, many still remained, so we’ve continued the process in the exemplary manner of a distributed team: two members in Seattle, a third in the Seattle area (but at home), one at Berkeley, and one at Stanford. For one of the meetings today, we added another continent, with Ericka calling in (via Skype) from Peru.

Canon Rebel XT: DIGIC II also produces faster startup times, faster CompactFlash card writing speed; and approximately 10X faster data transfer speeds thanks to the processor’s new USB 2.0 high-speed interface. As an added bonus, the DIGIC II chip is so efficient, it actually reduces the EOS Digital Rebel XT camera’s power consumption (and extends battery life) by approximately 35%. Indeed, this new Rebel XT camera is so energy efficient, it is powered by the same lighter-weight NB-2LH battery pack used by the PowerShot S60 (as opposed to the larger BP-511A battery pack used by the original Digital Rebel model). While the NB-2LH battery and charger are included with the Digital Rebel XT camera, both a new vertical grip (BG-E3) that accepts up to two NB-2LH battery packs or six AA-sized batteries and an AC Adapter Kit (ACK700) for powering from an AC outlet, are available as optional accessories.

Digital Pakistan: Clearly, blogs provide some tangible as well as intangible benefits. Most tangible benefits (such as profit) are long term, while intangible benefits (goodwill, customer satisfaction, retention, valuable feedback for pennies) could usually be seen in shorter-terms. Note that the defintion of long and short term varies. For this post, readers could consider a period longer than a year as long term, and anything less as a short term.

Russell McOrmond's blog | Digital Copyright Canada: p2pnet.net News View:- This morning the Ottawa Business Journal published an article describing the latest misinformation from the Canadian Alliance Against Software Theft (CAAST). CAAST claims that 36 per cent of the software used in Canada last year was "pirated". In their own press releases they suggest that "CAAST has worked closely with its counterparts in the recording and motion picture industries in a collaborative effort to help enforce strict legislation regarding copyright infringement".
