Isn't that what I said? Uncompressed HD (248.58 MBytes/sec) at uncompressed SD data Rates (27.97 MBytes/sec). Though I think the parallel I'm looking for is H264 HD at H264 SD data rate.

I can't help thinking about the poster who mentioned on these boards some time ago that they'd heard that Apple would be leveraging the technology behind ProRes422 to deliver better material at lower data rates to consumers. In the Pro...

I dunno. I think $3-4 is a bit steep for a virtual rental. That's what people pay for physical movie rentals, and you get all the extras included on the DVD. I think a $1.99 price point would make it an exceedingly attractive...

Wasn't there talk during one of Job's keynotes that there would be AppleTV news later in the year? I'm sure that this October event will either be Leopard dominated or at least will open it. But really, what more is there to say? We...

Point 1- If you thought the iPhone was overpriced then you shouldn't have bought it at that price. Point 2- If you didn't want the 4GB version then you shouldn't have bought the phone you didn't want.
