Anaconda 2

I for one, would like to hear some revised reviews of Blu-ray movies, once the firmware anaconda 2 is in place. It should make for an interesting comparison. Moreover, itll be interesting to see forthcoming players from Blu-ray backers that will support HDMI 3 with more colors and HD sound over the HDMI and how that will come into play in the quality of Blu-ray movies. And lets not forget about the availability of DL movies this fall and how this should aid in the quality as well. HD DVDs dominance over Blu-Ray ; I thought blu-ray was winning. Ill check back when we get to page 40 Roxio on Tuesday will announce support for Blu-ray Disc with Toast, its popular Macintosh CD and DVD burning software. The new release of Toast will be bundled with Blu-ray drives coming to retailers soon. The software will enable Mac users who purchase Blu-ray drives to store as much as 50GB of data on a BD-R recordable or BD-RE rewritable disc, according to Roxio. Those drives will be coming to market later this calendar quarter. Adam Fingerman, director of product management for Roxio, told Macworld that several companies have spoken with or made arrangements with Roxio to bundle the Blu-ray-enabled version of Toast. The new update to Toast will, at least at first, be available exclusively to users who buy the new BD drives, and wont offer any additional functionality or features for non-Blu-ray drive users. Blu-ray drive users will receive the full Toast Titanium product, not a Lite version. Left to its own devices, Mac OS X v 4 Tiger doesnt know what to do with Blu-ray Discs, so Toast will include Toast Dynamic Writing, software that lets users mount Blu-ray discs and write to the them the same way they would a removable storage device. Whats more, the data isnt cached on the hard disk first so you neednt worry about allocating 50GB of disk space before you can burn Blu-ray media. aid18528 NVIDIAs CEO has stated his confidence in the success of Sonys PlayStation 3 console, telling San Jose Mercury News journalist Dean Takahashi that the company has backed the right horse in the next-gen race. Commenting on the companys decision to provide graphics processors for Sony, having previously worked with Microsoft to supply chips for the original Xbox, Huang stated: You cant build chips for all the game consoles. Thats not possible. No one has enough extraneous resources around to build chips for all the game consoles. When asked if the company had backed the right horse in the latest console race, Huang was extremely confident in NVIDIAs commitment to Sony, adding: I dont think that working with Sony is wrong. There is no way that is going to be wrong. The CEO reaffirmed his belief in the success of Sonys Blu-Ray media format in spite of the resultant high cost of the console compared to Microsofts Xbox 360 or the Nintendo Wii suggesting that the inclusion of Blu-Ray was integral to the hardware lifespan of the next-generation machine. Im anaconda 2 sure how Microsoft is going to do in this transition, he stated. They are clever and they will figure out a way. Ill make a prediction that Xbox 360 cant possibly be a DVD-only device by Christmas of next year. The important thing is you cannot announce a game console for the next ten years and not have Blu-Ray. Its an impossible scenario, Huang continued. If Im going to buy a next-generation game console, Im going to buy a console with next-generation media. Its going to last 10 years. 10 years? Dont consoles usually have a turn anaconda 2 of 4-5? Huang stated: You cant build chips for all the game consoles. Thats not possible. No one has enough extraneous resources around to build chips for all the game consoles. Isnt IBM doing just that, producing all of the CPUs for the next gen consoles? They are clever and they will figure out a way. Ill make a prediction that Xbox 360 cant possibly be a DVD-only device by Christmas of next year. They cant do that.
