I share pretty much the same views Tony. Artistic vision or not, my bottom line is that if a band has managed to secure these types of distribution rights into their contract, for whatever reason, the labels should be compelled to adhere to that con

Ok, so it's even more simple. You're talking about an auto-crop. How the FX Nikon cameras can pull DX-sized images from the middle of the FX sensor. It's a reach to call that reach however. Because when displayed at the same pixel scale as the f

A number of relatively recent sensors do pixel binning, combining the outputs of multiple sensor elements to make one bigger pixel. You could argue that it's just interpolating those pixels and "downsampling", but it seems to produce bette

Maybe they plan to re-release it at the end of the year? (Shutter). At the end of the day, there's only a fixed amount of slots to release a movie. Stuff gets bumped around all the time by months or years at a time. MOstly to get favorable weeken

So, "little guy" in quotes. As-in "little compared to the EMI behemoth." I am well aware that this ruling only pertained to Pink Floyd's contract, but am still happy that a court interpreted it properly and ruled in their favor.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Bruno is right about that, but it works differently. 60Hz on an LCD is not 60Hz on a CRT. But we've argued about that already... And yeah, if a movie has any hopes of an Oscar, they dare not release before September or they're

The little guy? We have different definitions of that term I guess. It's good news nonetheless though. Nice to see labels having to honor their contracts and do right by the artists they represent - even if they have to be forced to do so by a cou

Damn, Watchmen was a year ago this month. So early it almost seemed like a 2008 release. Which is very unfortunate when it comes to Academy awards, because stuff from the first half of the year seems to often get ignored. BTW, the LCD on your comp

What I think the next step will be in compact digital cameras: When you press the shutter button, it's not a single exposure. The camera samples the entire full-rez CCD at a very high frame rate, much like a tiny little movie, then, internally, comb
