Re: Not All HD Programs Are Alike

A lot of times, TV is shot at 720P and not 1080i. That would explain the "jaggies". The jaggies are from the signal drawing the lines everyother frame, borrowling lines from the previous and next frames. When you are shooting 1080P, or 720P, each frame is drawn individually. So no "jaggies".

My guess is that you are just seeing two different formats, progressive and interlaced.

Just a guess though...

If I remember right, you can go into the Google settings, and assign a country profile.

Re: BuddyPress Still Not Ready for Primetime

Ummm... Still not 1.0. So duh, why would it be ready for mainstream? If you follow the roadmap, 1.0 is scheduled for December 15th, perhaps then, a qualified review should be given. Not one based on alpha/beta software.

Re: Why is cheap media best?

Scoble,
You can't intend to have a video be viral. It has to be good first. A good viral video has to have a good story, or a good point. Gary Goldhammer presented at the Blogging for Business conference the other day and mentioned that being viral is an outcome, not a strategy. I think there is a lot of wisdom in those few words. You have to be authentic or you are going to fail.

Would you say that those are authenticcally trying to be not authentic though? Or rather honestly trying to be the best at being fake that they can be? In my comment, I just meant that you have to be willing to play the game and be the best. Not stand around idly posting terrible content on YouTube.

The Daily Show writers had a good story, a script they probably wrote, and took the time to create something authentic and unique. FSJ writes excellent articles not because he is a hack, but because he is a skilled writer. I still lean on the fact that you have to have skill and passion if you want to succeed.

Have you ever used a blockquote? That is what you add to a post when you copy it from another site to your own.
