Here’s a quick excerpt
Nach mehrerern Jahren der Entwicklung und des dahinsichens, wurde im März endlich eine Entscheidung um das Nachfolgeformat der DVD getroffen. Der Sieger heißt: Blu Ray Disc
Den Ausschlag gab letztendlich Toshiba, die neben Microsoft einer der Hauptunterstützer des HD-DVD Formates waren. Nun gaben sie aber bekannt in Zukunft keine weiteren HD-DVD Player mehr zu produzieren. Schon zuvor hatte sich mit der Aussage der Warner Sudios, sich in Zukunft auf Blu Ray zu konzentrieren, den Stuhl der HD-DVD ins wackeln gebracht. Auch Preisaktionen mit hundert Dollar für einen Player und 7 HD-DVDs oben drauf haben nichts mehr gebracht.
Somit ist endlich der Weg frei, sich einen HDTV Fernseher und Player zuzulegen, ohne eines Tages aufzuwachen und auf das falsche Pferd gesetzt zu haben. Ich hatte das schon im Dezember letzten Jahres gemacht, hatte aber Glück. Die PlayStation 3 mit Blu-Ray Player stellte sich als das Richtige heraus.

Apesar de se tratar de rumores e boatos. Alguns, totalmente desprovida de credibilidade a partir do primeiro momento, embora pareça que uma verdadeira loucura, se você pensar cuidadosamente porque houve empresas que se seguiu a mesma linha de negócio.
E, além disso, estamos a falar de Microsoft, por isso tudo é possível.
A verdade é que, uma vez que EGM, Electronic Gaming Monthly, está apostando que a gigante Redmond começa a licenciar seu sistema de entretenimento, Xbox 360, a outras empresas. Isso, na linguagem profana, vem a significar que a Microsoft aposta que outros fabricantes possam desenvolver clones de consoles Xbox 360, embora mantendo a compatibilidade com o sistema original.
Em teoria soa louco, mas se pensou que poderia envolver a resposta à estratégia comercial da Sony Blu-ray Disc. Se a partir da multinacional japonesa de alta definição estão utilizando o jogador como a desculpa perfeita para penetrar cada lar possível, especialmente tendo […]

Nueva York, Moscú y Dubai dueños de los primeros rascacielos rotantes

Here’s a quick excerpt
Alrededor de finales de 2010 los amantes del lujo inmobiliario podrán darse un nuevo capricho: comprarse un piso capaz de girar sobre sí mismo para seguir la luz del sol o simplemente para cambiar la panorámica de las habitaciones. Será en Nueva York, Moscú o Dubai. Estas son las tres primeras ciudades elegidas para alojar los innovadores rascacielos rotantes diseñados por el arquitecto italiano David Fisher.
En la presentación neoyorquina de su invento, Fisher aseguró que así se da el salto a una “arquitectura dinámica” que incorpora “una cuarta dimensión, el tiempo”. Aunque esta publicidad tiene algo de rimbombante y exagerada, no es poca la innovación de la propuesta. Se basa en montar edificios como torres de cubos: en el sitio sólo se construye la base central, encima se disponen los pisos ya prefabricados, procedentes de una factoría en Italia, en las afueras de Bari. Con esto se consigue que cada […]

Scary Movie 4 PROPER 720p HDDVD x264-REVEiLLE

Here’s a quick excerpt
Some comedy is like a scalpel; the Scary Movie series is a hand grenade, spewing bodily fluids and big-breasted women in all directions as they lampoon the latest horror. In Scary Movie 4’s case, the main targets are War of the Worlds, The Village, The Grudge, Saw, and Tom Cruise jumping all over Oprah’s couch (the scariest of the lot). Along the way, potshots get taken at non-horror fare like Brokeback Mountain and Million Dollar Baby, as well as obvious targets like Michael Jackson and George W. Bush, among others. Anna Faris (Lost in Translation) and Regina Hall (The Honeymooners) return as the central characters wandering through a crazy quilt of horror scenarios, joined by Craig Bierko (Cinderella Man) doing a dead-on parody of Cruise at his most manic. Cameos include everyone from Charlie Sheen to Shaquille O’Neal to Carmen Electra. Some of it’s funny, some of it’s not, but […]
