Not certain, of course, what Sony will doing with “interactive TV” – but, I have to say that DirecTV’s experiment with coverage of the French Open looks useful and enjoyable.
One button on their remote opens a new menu – and while watching an HD screen showing a match, you can switch to 6 equal screens across the 16×9 expanse. Cursor to a different match and switch into it with a single button press.
There are other info features within other portions of the menu; but, being able to switch matches/views/contestants almost instantly looks worthwhile in many sports.
“Yahoo suing Nigerian scammers”
I have been getting about one snail mail chain letter a month since the first of the year, I thought they went out in the 80’s.
I can’t figure out why the Gizmodo blogger has failed to put the Dell story up on Gizmodo. I learned about it from the BBC.
Oops, wrong again: it is on Gizmodo.
Yacht = hole in water to pour money in.
Other similar technologies that create holes for money: Holographic TV/movies. 3D TV/movies. Smell o vision.
Good for Sony. They deserve to part with fruitless bucks. All those accelerated sales after jacking up the prices on B’ray gear and software. To the victor belongs the arrogance.
They already invented “interactive TV”. It’s called the Internet.
Intel has been in the Flash game for some time via Micron.
