Monday, April 16th, 2007Maybe I should call it NAB News Today.
Early peek into Apple keynote at NAB 2007. It’s the National Association of Broadcasters 2007 trade show, and of course Apple is one of the keynoters. This is an early peek at what’s coming during that speech. My predictions–or maybe just my fervent hope? Some pointed words on […]

Friday, April 13th, 2007Most AV programs can’t find Storm. PC World just did a quick test to see how bad the Storm Worm impact is. Turns out most AV programs don’t find it. Test included 31 different virus programs of which only Clam, Kapersky, and Symantec reported the little bastard. Back to Clam AV for me on XP […]

Thursday, April 12th, 2007Sony to do 1mil:1 aspect ratio TV. This is the OLED TV that Sony showed us at CES 2007 in January. Only problem is that it’s not the 27-inch model we saw at CES that would be capable of full 1080p resolution. Instead it’s going to be an 11-inch (nope, not a typo) capable […]

Monday, April 9th, 2007ICANN thinking about going private…again. They’ve been talking about this or a variant for some time. Either private or owned by the UN. Right now, it’s private after that strategy was recommended in the President’s Strategy Committee report. I don’t think the UN is the way to go, but total privatization has me worried, too. […]

Friday, April 6th, 2007IRS has ‘tracking tech’ on its notebooks. Maybe. Love it when they try and manipulate the press. Some budding journalist spills a story a day or so ago showing that the IRS has lost about 500 notebooks to loss or theft over the last 3.5 years. So today, there are stories based on hurriedly-produced IRS […]

Thursday, April 5th, 2007Kiss that VGA port buh-bye. The VESA org just gave official blessing to the DisplayPort 1.1 spec. Gonna replace VGA and DVI ports for flat panel displays. Faster, supports all those hi-def bits, and has a smaller physical plug, too. Also integrates that Blu-Ray DRM stuff, unfortunately. (Source: BetaNews)
