Apple touts 21,178 entertainment titles in the App Store ... did somebody just fart? {Joystiq}

Sep 10th 2009 6:49PM Wow, so until you do that.. you're not hardcore?

I feel sorry for all the gamers out there that think they're hardcore.

Sep 10th 2009 6:41AM I beat Ninja Gaiden for the xbox on the hardest difficulty. I think that justifies me as a hardcore gamer.

Besides you making assumptions on what kind of gamer I am is kinda silly.

Harris Poll results indicate little Blu-ray interest, even as HDTV sales go up {Engadget HD}

Jun 20th 2009 5:19AM Most don't care to get the best speakers or uncompressed stereo audio on a cd but there are audiophiles that actually do care and claim to notice a difference. When it comes to video it's a lot easier to notice the difference in video than audio. Its nothing like comparing uncompressed audio to compressed mp3. Companies like Disney take a lot of time in remastering footage on Blu ray because there is a lot less compression involved and a lot better compression methods where you preserve quality for presentation.

If you rip a 720 by 480 dvd that is 2 hours long and convert it to a lossless video with the same 720 by 480 settings, the file size will around 120 GBs.
Put a dvd on your computer, convert it to a lossless format using the same color space then convert it right back to dvd then repeat the process 5 times and see how much quality is degraded each time.
If a 720 by 480 movie was made for and put on blu ray then it would look a lot closer to how good a high quality jpeg image looks meaning the quality seems lossless. But 1080p is in so what you get is something fairly close but not quite. They choose 1080p over a lower resolution since people are getting bigger tv sets and low res would mean a great image would be stretched and not look as good.

Blu ray is a nice step. but it is not as big of a step as vhs to dvd so it's understandable why people aren't catching on.

A side note I spend average on a blu ray disk just 15 dollars.

I have a ps3 so why not take advantage of it's blu ray player. Just the other day I bought 3 blu ray disks for 30 bucks. Why would I get it on dvd instead? That is some good pricing.

Fitness 'expert' prepares class-action lawsuit against Nintendo {Joystiq}

Bush signs PRO-IP Act into law {Joystiq}

Oct 13th 2008 9:31PM Aren't most of peoples personal things on computers, like phone numbers, saved passwords, documents, work related stuff, pictures they took of their wife naked, art they made, 3d characters, photoshop fun, itunes music, ripped music.

Well that doesn't seem very good if they take it away. Think it's one of the most privacy busting law right here so far.
