If you plan on buying a Blu-ray player in 2011, don't be surprised if the back panel is lacking a component video output. A surprising number of mainstream 2011 Blu-ray players, (such as the Panasonic DMP-BDT210, Samsung BD-D5700, LG BD670, to name a few) are omitting the red, green, and blue video jacks, which means buyers will have to rely on HDMI for high-def Blu-ray video signals.
It's all about AACS
We can't blame manufacturers for omitting the component out of new players. For one, it's not a huge loss, as the vast majority of buyers will be using the HDMI output for video. But there's another issue: even the new Blu-ray players that are including component video connections will only output 480i signals, rather than high-def 1080i.
Absolutely nothing, and I'll say it again. Absolutely nothing.

Fame doesn't equate to money. Fame doesn't equate to success. Nor happiness. Nor balance. Nor worth. Nor intelligence. And if you think it does, boy are you in for a surprise.
Keep your head down, dummy, unless you are intentionally trying to draw enemy fire.
Good luck with that. 😎
When Windows 8 launches later this year you'll be able to upgrade to the pro version of Microsoft's newest desktop OS for just $40 for a limited time. The deal will apply to a broad base of current Windows users including those running Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. Microsoft had a similar offer during the launch of Windows 7 but this one is cheaper than its predecessor. (Windows 7 upgrades ranged from $50-$100 at launch.)
HP made some big product announcements today that I've been patiently waiting for. My patience is wearing thin though, as the two devices I am most anxious to get my hands on won't be out until this summer. I was a bit peeved earlier when I heard that, but there's no doubt I'll wait rather than jump ship to another OS (he says as he writes this post from his original Palm Pre).
For those who have spent any time with all of the major mobile operating systems, it has been clear from day one webOS has the most potential. True multi-tasking is a biggie, and nobody does it better.
Yes, I'll wait for the Pre 3 and HP Touchpad, but I'd better get a nice loyalty discount HP! 😉

I donated to Wikipedia again today as they're in the middle of another fundraiser. They're an independent, ad-Free non-profit. No sleezy marketing, covert data collection, persuasive technologies to get or keep you, etc. Very similar to what I've always tried to do with my websites and resources online.

A major initiative for the advancement of mobile video applications for law enforcement was announced today by the Law Enforcement & Emergency Services Video Association.
The new Xbox 360 dashboard released earlier this week is a total overhaul with a bunch of new features, most notably the on-demand streaming HD video via Netflix. Yeah, the new design layout is "cool", the new Wii like avatars are neat, the Xbox LIVE Party feature somewhat interesting, copying complete games to your hard drive could be handy, yada, yada, yada. The Netflix integration and partnership is definitely the new killer ap for the Xbox, and quite possibly a saving grace for Netflix.
The Hamilton Police Service (HPS) is currently looking to fill the position of Forensic Identification Video Technician, which will be located in downtown Hamilton at their Central Police Station.
