Hi-Def Dreamin'
One of my latest obsessions is High Definition Television. Living in Shitsville, Nowhere means I am going to have to wait at least another 100 years before we get it on our airwaves so the only alternative was to follow the incredible technology on the internet. Thanks to Apple and friends with bandwidths wider than the Suez canal doing that is now a possibility.
If you have a very good computer (for reference purposes I'll list my specs, which barely meets the standards - 1.83 Duo Core 2 Processor, 256 MB graphics and 1 GB DDR2 RAM) plus a decent internet connection, I strongly recommend seeing these trailers in all its 1080P (thats 1080 vertical lines of resolution with progressive scanning, the benchmark of quality HD) glory. Streaming them from Apple is a pain (near impossible for anyone short of a T1 connection) so I've linked URL's from where you can right-click and hit download.
300 - A
guarenteed epic in the making directed by Zack Snyder and inspired by the graphic novel of the same name by Frank Miller (the same genius who inked the Sin City novels). I've been waiting ages for this and its going to finally hit Theatres in Asia tomorrow (9th in the US)The thumbnail image is a full resolution JPEG capture of the trailer. (Download 2:30 161 MB)
The Simpsons Movie - Enough said, see Homer in Hi-def (Download 2:17 182 MB)
Ratatouille - Latest Disney/Pixar endevour. Looks very promising. (Download 1:48 129 MB)
And some neat videos from Japan - BBC Mo
tion Gallery (Download 4:00 309 MB)
The televisions displayed at Reefside (and other consumer electronic outputs here) may be Hi-Def in nature but don't be deceived. The videos are not. They are from normal DVDs upconverted to display on large screen TVs. If you've never experienced HDTV, take one of these videos to a set with resolution 1920 x 1080, connect through the VGA port of a laptop and play. Or get a Blu-ray player or a PlayStation 3. I am going for the latter. To conclude this HD dreamin'/droolin' episode, feast your eyes on the new 70-inch BRAVIA LCD TV from Sony. Price tag? Try $32,000.00!
