The first thing we notice is that the player has the official Blu-Ray logo, but lacks the HD-DVD logo. That means that all the talk about DVD Forum not approving the Player as HD-DVD player seems to be right. I wonder if there will be more manufacturing following with dual formats, or will one of them win the trone. Do you remember the fight between Betamax and VHS? And Sony didn’t want the porn industry distributing there films on the Betamax, and VHS won the war. Sony has once again told there subcontracter that they will lose there license if they distribute porn in Blu-Ray discs. That means the war could be over for this time, and HD-DVD stands as winner.

According to Robby D, a director at Digital Playground Inc, they will from now on only choose HD-DVD to distribute there adult movies on.

It has been a long wait, and it’s not really over, buy yesterday Steve Jobs finally showed the world what he had up his sleeve. He showed the audience and they cheered like they had seen the birth of their new Christ. I must say he can sure do a nice presentation and impress a crowd with form and function and he always seem to surprise no matter how many rumors there are out there.

The only cloud on the big bright Apple sky now is that they have their consumer waiting to June in the US, Q4 for Europe and 2008 for Asia. That’s a long wait for something that most Apple fans want today (yesterday).

One problem with outsourcing is how to instruct and train your outsourced personnel. We are hoping that one of many solutions is video tutorials. We are bringing in new outsourced manpower from Ukraine and we want to speed up the process of learning for them, and it’s so much easier for them to learn if we can show them what we mean.

The second reason is that we are constantly changing and developing our new backend system and we need an easy way to show new functions instead of just describing them with words.

On Wikipedia we found an open source program called CamStudio that works great. With this we can easily make comments in comic book style bubbles. After the screen recording I add sound to it with Windows movie maker. The reason for adding sound in movie maker instead of the built in function in CamStudio is the timeline that I get in movie maker, that makes it possible to move and change the sound. In CamStudio you only get one chance to add sound to the correct screen.
