    Hybrid HD player from Samsung and Toshiba ??

    This whole thing's peculiar... I'll say this much: I'm definitely on the side of format unification. I also was/am on the side that was against a format war to begin with.

    http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2006/06...g_and_toshiba/ http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/06/21...mat_hd_player/ Hope someone can sift through this and get us the truth one way or the other. Hence the ?? in the title.

    Like so many other things in life... I'll believe it when I see it (or them). ;)

    The build quality of the Toshibas will never happen again...

    I won't accept statements like these until they are verified by an objective, credible, PROFESSIONAL resource.

    A NEW HOPE for unification

    Indeed. If I recall correctly, weren't they the ones that basically walked away from the negotiating table, saying "no", and assuring us all of the cycle of frustration and futility we're all in now? To be fair: There's plenty of blame to go all the way around...

    A NEW HOPE for unification

    Yeah, you beat me to it. ;) Maybe there is some hope in the universe after all... Dated June 26, 2006 http://news.com.com/Toshiba+wants+un...3-6088269.html My response to this: THEN DO IT! Why are we even in this format war now, if this is really how they've felt about it...

    Is Toshiba losing money on sales of each HD-DVD player?

    Answer: Very likely. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060623-7121.html http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1980865,00.asp Not too many ways to sugarcoat this or make excuses if these figures are even in the ballpark. I wouldn't want to go to Vegas on those odds. ;)

    HDMI 1.3 not firmware upgradeable!

    Thanks. That answered one obvious noob question I had about this. Disappointing, but not really a surprise...

    HDMI 1.3 is released.

    The new HDMI mini connector, pictured here next to the regular HDMI connector, is designed to be used with small portable devices such as camcorders and digital still cameras. http://www.hdmi.org/images/HDMI_andMiniConnector.jpg I'm not clear on this: Would the display and player both...

    MX-650 universal remote- Any good?

    I have an amazing deal for this and it's RF base in my backpocket. I'm casually sifting through the market of universal remotes, in general. All advice, input, tips, you name it...appreciated! :) I may consider jumping up to the 850 or so for the PC progamming option...

    HOLY FLIRKING SCHMIDT! New Lord of the Rings releases!

    The EE's are quite good enough. The next time I buy these, it will be for an HD format.

    Sony to delay BDP-S1 player until October?

    That's very possible. Is there anyone who can find out for sure on this? I know they're running to the moon on AVS, for starters, with this and assuming for sure that the product has been fully delayed outright.

    Who gives very prudent advice for those that can be patient: Wait at least a year.

    Star Trek future movies?

    Maybe decent in some role. Not as Captain Kirk. I'm fully on the side of folks who agree that you had one actor portray iconic characters for 30 years. Leave it at that. Move on. Move forward.

    Star Trek future movies?

    The good news I'm seeing today in the papers (i.e. official press release) has these beautiful words: " NO plot details or plans are yet known." I really hope this Kirk, Spock retread is avoided.

    Star Trek future movies?

    A loose idea of mine: Take the Starfleet Academy idea and maybe start right at the turn of the 25th century. By this time ,the Federation has long since recovered from the Dominion War and it's just far enough ahead to give you a clean start but still have to ties to everything that's...

    Star Trek future movies?

    Well, sure. It goes without saying that we all want Joss always stirring up new and fresh things, but your Serenity hate makes me sad.

    Joss needs to give us Serenity 2. :)
