Firefly composer talks about his Uncharted experience {Joystiq Playstation}
Nov 26th 2007 1:52PM Firefly was a great show and was cut tragically short in much the same way as Angel.
It's funny because Nathan Drake reminds me of Malcolm Reynolds in a lot of ways.
I really enjoyed the music in Uncharted along with just about everything else that game had to offer. Can't wait for the next installment.

Leaf shows off new AFi medium-format cameras, you can't afford one {Engadget}
Sep 20th 2007 1:50PM Great looking camera. Quick question though. If it's 6x6 why would you need a landscape or portrait mode? Everything is square.
Kevin Collins responds to Paramount/Dreamworks pay-off rumor {Engadget HD}
Aug 28th 2007 11:44AM Ok, take a step back and use logic. Why would Paramount chose to go exclusive if not for a payoff? Why would they choose to support the side that was clearly losing at the time. If anything, the prudent choice would be to stay neutral and sell to both sides. Of course their was a payoff, just becuase we can't find a paper trail yet doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Now is this unethical? No. Sony does the same thing. It is disappointing for anyone other than the exclusive HD-DVD supporter though because it means that we will not see a clear winner anytime soon. Had Paramount remained neutral, the was would have been over very soon. Eventually Univerasl would have gone at least neutral and we would have had a clear winner.
From my standpoint, I could care less if Blu-Ray or HD-DVD is the clear winner, I want just one choice. I like technology so I will buy both. The problem is that the average consumer will not. Until there is a clear choice, they will sit on the fence and we as enthusists will have to continue to wait for things like Star Wars and other classics.
The truth of it is that HD-DVD can't win the war though. They can only prolong it, possibly until neither format is viable. Sony and thus MGM will never release movies on HD-DVD. This means that essentially Blu-Ray could have won the war if they landed Universal but now it looks like a stalemate. This is terrible for everyone involved.
For those of you knocking the Digital Bits. You need to check yourself. The BITS has done more for DVD than any other site. They were the ones that made the major push for Anamorphic Widescreen and helped to kill the evil DIVX pay per view version of DVD. They chose Blu-Ray because of the support of studios and because it was the one option that had a chance to win outright. They have been in the business for over 10 years and are a well respected site.
On a side note, I have no affiliation with that site and do not even know them personally. I just agree that one unified format would have been so much better than this garbage we have now.
