I spent a chunk of time looking at HDTVs in Best Buy and the Sony shop yesterday, and wasn't impressed. Overall, what I saw on the displays looked full of compression artefacts, with poor colour. Most of them were 720p displays, with the 1080p ones starting about $4,000. It seem there is some buyer's remorse around too, as customers grapple with upconversion and, no doubt, with HDCP's deliberate degradation....

Susan Crawford explains the fraudulent concession to neutrality from AT&T in an attempt to get their merger approved before the year-end. The small print excludes their 'IPTV' service from neutrality, which was the point at issue. I have already covered the underlying flaw in their special pleading; what we see is a bizarre coalition of legacy TV and legacy networking to sacrifice the low-latency...

John Scalzi and Brad DeLong have kicked off a serious debate about the different interpretations of Starship Troopers by Heinlein and Verhoeven. However, I think they are both neglecting the important critical interpretation by Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip .One reason Torchwood has been disappointing is that it's "Dr Who with shagging" premise isn't really enough to sustain it. Camp and sexist as...

The death of James Brown yesterday has shown up in a surge of blog interest - he dominates the Technorati popular videos chart today, and is the top search and James Brown is a top tag (and there are lots of videos tagged James Brown too). Kevin Burton's tool is showing some Brown videos too, though he is indexing a smaller pool of bloggers; I'd look at the Megite one too if it were public.Technorati...

Whenever digital video engineers gather together, there is a mutual camaraderie based on the woes of supporting the NTSC standard. I suspect with a few drinks in them they'd form a mob and string up whomever came up with the frame rate of 30000/1001 and drop-frame timecode. However, the sins of our video forefathers pale into insignificance compared to what is going on with DRM video in Windows Vista.Technorati...

Last week at a bloggers gathering in London I was commenting that Private Eye had 3 cartoons about podcasts in, including one about listening to the Queen's podcast on Christmas Day, so clearly the stuff we were doing is becoming mainstream. Then today Dave Winer points out that the Queen does have a podcast. Here's the feed link. It's come a long way since Bloggercon 2003. And even longer since I...

Rob Paravonian rants about the ubiquity of Canon in D. That reminded me of Dudley Moore's Beethoven parody using the Colonel Bogey theme.

The NYT repeats a familiar incredulity about iTunes store sales but misses the point about Apple. Apple is a hardware company — it makes its money from selling good hardware with good margins. The iTunes Store has always been pretty close to revenue neutral for Apple - the vast bulk of its sales revenue goes through to the Record Labels or TV companies. With Apple absorbing hosting, payment processing...

Larry Lessig admits he was wrong about term extension:If you read the list, you’ll see that at least some of these artists are apparently dead (e.g. Lonnie Donegan, died 4th November 2002; Freddie Garrity, died 20th May 2006). I take it the ability of these dead authors to sign a petition asking for their copyright terms to be extended can only mean that even after death, term extension continues...

The Gowers Review of Intellectual property released a final report today. The Open Rights Group has a good response on the overall impact, but I noticed some rhetorical bias. Paragraph 1.9 of the report says:1.9 Achieving this balance is made more difficult by the vocabulary used to discuss IP policy and practice. Copyright infringement through unauthorised copying and distribution of music and video...
