Summer Time is Rerun Time
June 21, 2007
It’s summer and ’tis the time of reruns. The newspapers do it, television do it, blogs do it, everybody do it.

Microsoft IPTV Get Updated to Microsoft Mediaroom
June 18, 2007
Microsoft has announced an update and a new name for Microsoft IPTV - Microsoft Mediaroom.
The existing features such as video on demand, high-definition television and instant channel zapping (I like that) will be further enhanced by:
- Personal media sharing. This enables consumers to easily listen to digital music and view digital photographs stored on PCs elsewhere in the home on the best screen in the house: the television.
- Multimedia Application Environment. The environment offers richer support for Web services and applications, enabling service providers to deploy advanced features such as dynamic video-on-demand portals, casual games and interactive TV services.
- Enhanced MultiView capabilities. These allow consumers to see multiple channels, programs and camera angles on one screen.

Johnny Depp and the Japanese Pirates
June 15, 2007
Did you see Pirates of the Caribbean 3? I just love those movies.
I found this clip on YouTube and I think it is taken from the POTC3 promotion tour to Japan. It’s simply hilarious. I think Johnny Depp has been on acid trips that are less random than this.
I’m not sure what they’ve given these kids, but it shows the insanity of Japanese television.

The Mystery of the 3 Faces on Vista DVD is Solved
June 15, 2007
Did you also wonder who the three guys on the Vista DVD is? Well the mystery is solved!
Unfortunately there isn’t anything exotic about it. There is no conspiracy theory, disgruntled employees or hackers. The explanation very simple. Microsoft’s Anti-Piracy Team designed a counterfeit-resistant digital “watermark” for the non-encoded surface of Windows Vista DVDs. That’s it! Booooring.
According to Nick White, Product Manager for the Vista launch team: “The photo in question is only one of multiple images contained in the hologram design, all of whose inclusion serves to make it more difficult to replicate a Windows Vista DVD. The other images are of old master works of art that are in the public domain.”
