the youTube founders came up with a ‘video’ for the occasion
“Two Kings came together” ?? wtf!
Honestly, I would rather not be in their shoes. Good for them that they cashed in like they did.
But not being a dork like they are: priceless.
It reminds of the “King of the World”.
Somehow the gluttening reference to royality is a sure way to make you disappear.
does sound awefully slow: one point five frames per second. Actually it is a number that makes me happy: It is the performance of the first beta test transfer of the interdubs software that I write. It allows the direct exchange of material from discreet framestore to framestore. Runs in the background, once set up (2 command lines on each end, zero install) it needs not further interaction.
Uncompressed 720×486 at 1.5fps in the background surely beats fedexing a digibeta.
And the 1.5 fps limit is not on my end. I should be good for a bit more. Actually so much more that it’s not worth wondering about it: There are no connections out there that could reach it. I think.
Didn’t google try their own video thing? If you have it, then you can pay 1.6 billion for making your own solution worse than the one coming out of a garage somewhere. The only problem is, that once you start doing this you loose the edge. Gmail was the last thing that google did that really worked. Search is still of amazing quality for them. Maps is decent,
but video they screwed up, and now they pay the equivalent of the GDP of Mongolia for their mistake. OK almost, that one is 1885 Millions.
I like
the idea
how quick the iTunes 7 cover art download was able to inspire this
that blogsNow keeps finding these things for me
I dislike
the story (or absence thereof)
the cheap-o Monty Python ripp off, wasn’t funny when Guiness did it a couple of years
the random violence on the level of fart humor
the fact that the quicktime is 4 by 3 aspect ratio!! People, please think. Not outside of the box,
just along it’s corners.
occasionally.
On NPR I heard that the director of “French Connection” did cut the chase to a Santana Track without an intention to actually use that sound in the movie. Which is a neat little story I think. The NPR page for this has a real player link to the movie and the audio. That’s great, just that real player is so horrible it stopped worked a while back.I hope NPR eventually will realize that it real player is not working. For nobody.
They might as well try to sell their programs on 8Track tape.
Entering
star trek closer video
into google will provide you with lots of different sources for a rather entertaining mashup. It’s interesting how content that is able to strike a cord with people will propagate into lots and lots of outlets. Virtually impossible to control.
too bad it will spawn hundreds of failed attempts that will not.
