jazz: if VHS survived because of the adult movie industrie then we could see the same success for HD DVD as i believe all the adult movie studio's have chosed this as their format. I'm not entirely certain that seeing acres of naked flesh in High-Definition resolution, pores and all, will be a benefit to the "adult" industry ...

Guzzler: How do I find my Bonjour URL to enter in the iTouch? Thanks. Have a look here, a little down the page at Set-up Ajax Remote in 4 steps: http://www.iospirit.com/index.php?mode=view&obj_type=infogroup&obj_id=24&sid=4615991G5d1e557a3f65f52f&o_infogroup_objcode=infogroup-23&o1_infogroup_objcode=html-141

Guzzler: How do I find my Bonjour URL to enter in the iTouch? Thanks. Hi Guzzler, You have to go into the Preferences folder of Remote Buddy. There you'll find a button that says AJAX. Follow the instructions - it lists the URL for Bonjour and you just create a web page in Safari on your Touch. http://static.iospirit.com/static/objectfiles/image

Hi Dave, While bowing to your definitely "mountaineous" knowledge compared to the molehill I've gleaned, I'd like to draw your attention to a few things. In your paper "Design considerations for an idealized surround sound listening space" you write that in order to achieve best possible room reflection properties: Loudspeakers

1) Is blu-ray better picture than upscaled DVD (I'm calling 'yes' from my experience) Agreed - but at present DVD is a much more convenient format, while BR suffers from long start-up times and non-standardized implementation from various providers. But the picture is better on BR. 2) Is 1080 better than 720 (I'm calling 'not necessarily'

TWG: Hi, in german computer magazine "c't" was a very detailed article about both formats and bluray is technically advanced in some cases. HD-DVD has compressed audio on some tracks which means less quality ... I hope bluray wins this format war ... You're right, on most parameters BluRay is technically superior, including having

Must confess I'm much in agreement with 355f here. === I'll be "brief": HDMI, BluRay and HD-DVD are Digital Rights Management COPY PROTECTION SCHEMES, disguised as offering improved image and sound quality to consumers. In order to get consumers to go along with this scheme, the carrots of improved image and sound are held out before

tom: David: Thats nice, too bad the corner could not be white also! It looks a little bit like a computer i have to say... recalls me the iMac too! Yup.

@Greg I don't care either way, Greg. I'm very happy with the quality of my upscaled DVDs - though I do enjoy the higher quality sound of the HD disc formats. But there's a lot of misinformation from either side in the so called "war." The threadstarter linked to a statistic that's worth taking a look at. BLU-RAY in the first

Greg: HD-DVD players are being sold for ever cheaper, and the HD-DVD group is having to pay studios (the small minority of major studios that aren't part of the blu-ray group) for a limited period (note: these are not HD-DVD only for good) of exclusivity on new releases - looks to me like blu-ray has already won. YMMV, of course. I'd say that's
