Interesting article about 1080p resolution and scaling
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 25, 2007 05:31soundproof: Interesting read, though I would say that the scaling examples look more dramatic in effect than what happens on an actual screen. And the two writers are assuming that bandwidth will be sufficient to provide…
Internet Radio
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2007 15:23It is only fair to reward the artists in some way for the music played on net radio but this may have the opposite effect. I often listen to Dronezone, which I appreciate isn't to everyone's taste, but at the last count …
