James Cameron thinks he can get viewers asking to wear 3D glasses {Engadget HD}
Nov 26th 2009 12:35PM @ack154, unless greater than 100" screens become commonplace in households, 1080p is already as high as picture resolution needs to get for home viewing. Anything greater would be an imperceivable improvement without aforementioned giant screens.
Twelve South's BassJump subwoofer improves your MacBook experience via USB, not parachute {Engadget}
Nov 24th 2009 11:04AM This is very similar (in function, not style) to Apple's old iSub offering, which was a subwoofer add-on to their jellybean iMac line. It's a fantastic, albiet overpriced, solution to getting drastically better sound out of an AIO desktop or laptop without cluttering your space with external speakers and wires.
They should make this thing work with the Apple LED Cinema Display, and cut the price in half. Then I would buy it.
Forget HDTV and 3D, when is Ultra HDTV / Super Hi-vision coming home? {Engadget HD}
Nov 4th 2009 9:12PM Completely pointless unless everyone starts fitting their homes with 20-50 foot screens.
Paramount and Kingston team up for movies on flash memory {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 8:14PM And a person would spend $30 on a crappy 4GB version of a movie instead of buying the Blu-Ray for $20...why?
Poll: What's the biggest Blu-ray disc still due to arrive in 2009? {Engadget HD}
Nov 1st 2009 4:50PM I don't think we'll see any blu-ray releases top Regenge of the Fallen's first-week sales.
Video: Panasonic's next-gen IPS-Alpha panel is uber quick, dark {Engadget HD}
Oct 6th 2009 10:47AM It looks like the one on the right has a glossy screen, while the one on the left is matte; in the brightly lit room these televisions appear to be presented in, that alone would go a long way in making the tv on the left pale in comparison.
Will Apple announce anything for HD snobs today? {Engadget HD}
Sep 9th 2009 7:31PM I got excited after the iTunes 9 upgrade when I saw that my HD videos were no longer grayed out in the iPhone sync panel, but soon discovered that the "improved syncing" interface is no longer smart enough to acknowledge which of your movies aren't iPhone-compatible; instead, you're hit with an error message once and then never notified again that any incompatible movies weren't copied to your iPhone.
Microsoft exec says Apple asked them stop airing Laptop Hunters ads {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2009 10:12PM They definitely shouldn't be able to run the ad where the "filmmaker" says "this is the best Mac for under $2k and it only has 2GB of memory". That is false advertising.
Poll: Is Blu-ray coming to Apple anytime soon? {Engadget HD}
Jun 13th 2009 1:04PM Apple's #1 priority these days is movie and music sales on the iTunes Store. They believe everyone should just rent their shitty 4mbps "HD" movies and be satisfied. And word is the next version DVD Studio Pro is going to be a very miniscule update; keep Blu-Ray authoring away from the professionals and they can stagnate it's adoption. And while they're making blu-ray authoring impossible, they'll argue that blu-ray adoption isn't to a point yet that it's worth burdening their customers with it's "bag of hurt".
There are people who argue that you can't appreciate a blu-ray movie on a computer screen anyhow, but the point for me is compatibility. I stopped buying DVDs over a year ago, which means I've got a cabinet full of movies that my $1,750 MacBook Pro and $900 Apple monitor can't comprehend.
