The key words in both of those articles is "speculation". If Jobs comes out and says "We are putting Mac OS X on AMD systems", that'll be enough to convince me.

jbone: Yes, I know it's not the same, but it's fun to pedantically poke your sentences apart like that. :P

Well, at one point there was a rumor that Apple was working on getting Quicktime on Windows. :)

No, it's not. But then again, AMD's Hammer also isn't an "x86" CPU in the traditional sense of the word. Or maybe he meant x86-64, and I didn't read that correctly. (Yeah, I don't read "x86 64-bit" as the same as "x86-64", because they're not.)

If you have heard the news Apple is working on an x86 64bit version of OSX. Who is the only one with an x86 64bit processor looming in the horizon? AMD. This is all just a rumor so don't take it to the bank. I really, really doubt that. (If it's true, show me the news article, and it'd better be fr...

I usually ask my parents to judge stylistics from a "virgin" perspective -- things like "do these audio tracks blend correctly", "do these layer masks look dumb", "is this effect distracting", etc. Though, the one video that I did show them -- my Kanon "Reminiscience and Fantasy" video, they loved. :P

Erm. The underlying technology for Ethernet was invented at the University of Hawaii -- it was known as ALOHANET, and predates Ethernet by a few years. (One of the most important pieces being the collision-detection method used by Ethernet, Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection, CSMA/C...

DIV3, in this case, is most likely the decompressor contained in the DivX 3.11 alpha codec.

IIRC, DIV3/DIV4 are associated with DivX 3.11; DIVX is DivX 5.02. I think, anyway. Never really looked at file ID tags that closely.

I get the same problem, at the exact same scene. And all this time I thought it was a problem with my MJPEG encoder :P One of the big causes of this discoloration is usually due to the video not being correctly decrypted. Probably the Metropolis DVD uses some rather nasty key-shifting that's difficu...
