    Now You See Me 2 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I'd say it's somewhere right in the middle between god-awful and the best movie of the year. At that price, it's worth buying and deciding for yourself.

    iPhone 6 Cases and Accessories Thread

    Verizon just replaced my 6+ due to very similar behavior. The phone wasn't exhibiting any symptoms when I took it in but they didn't question it. I got the impression that they've seen this problem before.

    What Exactly is Lossless audio?

    "Lossless" audio has nothing to do with bit-rate but rather it has to do with the way the audio data is compressed. Formats like mp3 and DD actually selectively discard audio information (frequencies) to compress the data size. Once that information is lost, it can never be regained.

    I think this is the key bit of information.

    Yes. When you first turn on the new phone, you will be asked if you want to restore it from the back-up of a different phone.

    iPhone users, has anyone experienced this problem?

    I've noticed this with my iPhone 5 when I'm out in my yard. My house has steel siding and the wi-fi signal outside the house is quite weak. I don't know if I've experienced it yet with my 6+ or not.

    iPhone 6 Cases and Accessories Thread

    I frequently carry my phone in the back pocket of a bicycle jersey so a waterproof case is essential. I hope Lifeproof announces their new cases soon.

    FLAC - SACD

    FLAC is totally lossless. However it only compresses on the order of 50% of the original file size.

    Receiver shuts off randomly?

    It sounds like your receiver is over-heating. Is your receiver located in a spot that doesn't provide adequate air circulation around it?

    The Swedish version has a much more accurate resolution to the core mystery than does the Hollywood version.

    Powerline Ethernet Adapters

    Has anyone had luck (good or bad) using powerline ethernet adapters for connecting their blu-ray deck to the internet? I'm considering upgrading my player to take advantage of BD-Live and pondering my alternatives for getting it on-line.

    Severe pixilation on Olympics diving

    I've noticed it also watching via Comcast. I notice it while the divers are in midair with lots of twisting.

    Master and Commander: what's with the audio?

    I was caught off guard also when I inserted my new blu-ray copy of "The Usual Suspects" and discovered that not all blu-ray discs have DD soundtracks. However, instead of griping about it, I viewed it as an opportunity to upgrade from my obsolete Pioneer VSX-07TX receiver to something more...

    Blu-ray player sales

    I think it's a combination of the state of the economy and media costs. I don't buy the argument that it's player cost. The couple of hundred bucks you pay for a blu-ray player over the cost of a decent DVD player will be overcome by the premium cost of the discs in a hurry.
