More than likely this was the work of many hackers over a length of time using various different methods to obtain the photos. Seeing as the pictures clearly come from different devices. One folder was noted to having drop box documents in it. Bl…

I disagree. Its a great idea to use services like Foursquare and Yelp. This puts less pressure on Apple to collect, aggregate, update, and check information. Foursquare and Yelp gathers their information from users of the service. On the opposite s…

When did 2.35:1 become a Blu-ray specific aspect ratio? Quote: Originally Posted by @tiger Hello. Does anybody knows whether the new 1080p movies downloadable from Apple Store comes in 21:9 (2,35:1) format like Bluray movies ?

You also miss the fact that tens of millions of iPhone 4/4S, iPad 2/3 can play these 1080P movies connected through HDMI to an HD television. Quote: Originally Posted by sunilraman Guys and gals it may have been mentioned before but I just fo…

You are correct that encoders have greatly improved by leaps and bounds. I'm sure that now the software can do a lot of the work that was manually done a few years ago. Where I disagree with you is in the fact that compression is much an art as i…

Blu-ray has the edge on quality. No need to keep arguing that point. Where the argument now is on streaming/downloading being good enough that the mass market could choose it as a viable option despite the fact that Blu-ray has better quality. …

This is true and many here arguing for Blu-ray feel quality should trump convenience. The irony being that this same equations fits Blu-ray. Blu-ray is lesser quality than theatrical presentation and is more convenient. Why should the progress o…

It gets more complicated than that. I've had some access to see how Hollywood studios encode movies for DVD. At least when it comes to big Hollywood movies where they care about the quality of the end product, the process is very much manually done.…

I don't believe any of us here are vehemently anti-physical media. We are just being realistic about where the larger market is headed in regard to enjoying media. Quote: Originally Posted by emacs72 perhaps those who vehemently oppose physic…

You know there are multiple profiles that Blu-ray can support, they don't have to use H.264 Main Profile. Quote: Originally Posted by Mr. H I don't know about other download services, but with iTunes this was true before the upgrade to 1080p. …

Arstechnica and Apple Insider are not the same at all. Quote: Originally Posted by Andysol About as much as Apple Insider.

Blu-ray and streaming/downloading do not use the same encoder and are not really using the same exact codec. They both use a variant of H.264, but are using different profiles of it. Quote: Originally Posted by d-range That's a strawman argum…

To add to this. Its interesting how I can sit with friends watching a Netflix streaming movie on a 40" screen TV. I can see banding, aliasing, and artifacting. Most noticeably in areas with a mass of black, because that is difficult to encode. They …

You saying Arstechnica is an unknown webpage with no credibility? This is completely wrong. You may not be familiar with it but it is an excellent technology site. Quote: Originally Posted by Andysol Umm yes. It's Understandable that a pro-ap…

Motion picture film does not have infinite resolution. At a certain point it will degrade into grain particles. Quote: Originally Posted by dasanman69 Sure there is, motion picture is. Infinite resolution because there's no pixels.

People said the same thing about CD's. They complained that CD's did not sound as good as vinyl. People were giving up sound quality for the convenience of the CD. Why should the same thing not happen to the CD? Quote: Originally Posted b…

Yes because quality is not the only variable. Convenience and ease of use are also important. You guys wish to highlight quality and ignore everything else. Quote: Originally Posted by jfanning I know what you are trying to say, but are you r…

I'd imagining Neil Young would wish to be left out of comparing media quality with a real woman vs a plastic toy. The rest is simply your opinion that you wish to project onto other people. Quote: Originally Posted by iSheldon Yes if yo…
