  • Hard News: The New Boss,

    I was staunchly behind Prime's viewing schedule, right up until they stopped play series 2 of Stargate Atlantis halfway through the series...

    The resident TV oracle says Prime are definitely bringing it back, they just broke for the holiday season.

    What I find interesting about this whole browser thing is the take up of IE7 (Around 15-25% already).

    Not round here.

    This month, we're running at 11.8 % share for IE 7 vs 40.6% for IE 6

    Last month was 9.6% vs. 45.5%

    For Firefox, across all versions:

    This month: 29.4%

    Last month: 27.3%

  • Hard News: The Suicide Note,

    From The Inquirer:

    The iPhone OS allows for the use of widgets which are the same applications found on OSX's Dashboard.

    OMG!

    Dashboard Widgets in potentially useful and appealing shock!

    Kris Lane was in touch with a very neat solution for playing AVIs (and other non-vanilla QuickTime flavours) in iTunes. No need for conversion - it just creates a reference movie for the file you want to play:

    Okay, I guess I'd at least like a play with Apple TV now.

  • OnPoint: D5: Delhi to Tibet on three wheels,

    It's what's brought me here - the Asia:NZ Foundation is sponsoring me to do a stint at The Hindu, to figure out what the hell is going on here, and to bring some useful connections back, etc.

    I'd be grateful if you could find out WTF is going on with that Brett Lee video ...

    Also appears to only support upmarket Tv's (although the latter two requirements are bog standard PAL and NTSC)

    I think "or" is the operative word in that spec.

  • Hard News: The Suicide Note,

    Some more reading, specific rebuttal to the suicide note paper by Bob Cringley

    How bizarre. He doesn't address any of the most interesting points in the paper.

    I had no trouble playing DivX/XviD on my Mac. I just went here and followed the instructions. Works with Front Row no problem. I'm not sure if it would work with the AppleTV, though.

    The problem is with iTunes, which appears to the only app for Apple TV, and won't play DivX/Xvid, even when you've installed the relevant codecs for QuickTime.

  • Yellow Peril: cops and robbers, qilai…,

    Hypocrisy really doesn't do this guy justice.

    He wouldn't be the first gay misogynist.

    Folks, also feel free to read and contribute to our discussion on the Windows Media and Windows-only nature of the fothcoming TVNZ OnDemand download service, which raises some serious questions.
