| Alright, I want to hear everyone's take on facebook apps. The ability to customize is nice, but I have a feeling someone will abuse it to the point where their profile is cluttered with apps, then it just becomes another myspace.
Although the fact that I can finally display my flickr on my facebook is sa-weet! | |

| A little help from Scott's entry:
How to view your team in PDEng 45 | |

| That's nice kidos, but before we continue on yet ANOTHER conversation about the viewing pleasures provided by 1080p / HD content and awesome monitors, I'd like to introduce more awesome things like The freaken new Harry Potter Themed Area that will be situated inside Orlando's Universal Island of Adventure Park opening in 2009.
I'd totally dress up as a Hogwart student, go on the rides, and shout out random spells like "Engorgio!" or "Wingardium Leviosa", just imagine, a Quidditch themed ride! | |

| Yeah... I do enjoy watching HD trailers... though my computer currently tanks under 1080p, so I can only go as high as 720p. Still, the difference, especially on my monitor, is huge.
Still, I find that sometimes the downstream isn't fast enough to keep up with the HD content. Someone needs to expand the tubes of the Interweb. | |
| Alex T. | |
| Also, I wouldn't expect everyone to be carrying around a Canon XL H1 to record the HD content, let alone authoring it.
But I do enjoy the Apple QuickTime movie trailers in HD =) I've been testing HD content at work for the past few weeks and suddenly I tried to play a normal DVD yesterday and... my eyes!! The pixels! Ackk... | |
| Richard | |
| Yeah, the problem is not the video recording technology, or even the video displaying technology, it's the fact that it would take forever to upload a 30-second 1080p clip. | |
| Scott | |
| shit, its up? | |

| YouTube on Apple TV
If it isn't enough on the computer already... sometimes I want to puke when I see the quality of some of those videos. Ok... your digital camera records nice 15 frames per second of video at 320x240, but it looks like I'm watching a giant multifaceted Rubik's cube with all the blocky compression. But, there are other nicer videos... Web videos through HDMI to my 1080p 60" TV? Talk about all digital...stuff. Bring it on. Apple TV - YouTube [apple.com] | |

| On a not so exciting note...
Have you checked up on the team component of PDEng 45 yet? It has begun... | |
| Dan T. | |
| lol evil, evil | |
| Richard | |
| Haha... Dan, when you brought up the family restaurant, I envisioned someone hacking into the table and presenting a less than family rated image or video... | |
| Dan T. | |
| on a side note, Sam the Record Man on Yonge St. is closing =(

| practical applications debate aside, the only think with Surface is protecting it. seriously, imagine if that really were embedded into a table at the restaurant. say a family restaurant. now, kids aren't exactly the most reliable when it comes to protecting things (neither are adults, but that's an argument for another day). so what if one decides to start poking at the table with utensils? i hope that the surface itself can withstand that beating and still work afterwards.
i now return you to your regularly scheduled debating... | |

| I'm thinking Star Trek, lol
Anyhow, aww, people's poor arms... Maybe they could incorporate it with a work-out game and sync it with a DDR, lol I'm not sure how BumpTop works with filenames, or how to differentiate one PDF with another. A cool mix would be to mash it with Aza Raskin's Zoom UI (ZUI) where the actual files are open, and you can see exactly what it is. :) | |

| BlackBerry Maps FTW! Man, they should just keep me on their payroll. The problem with Google Maps for people that don't have unlimited data plans is that Google uses bitmaps for their map software, whereas RIM uses vector objects. Then again, trying to find your way on a PDA map is a lot harder than on a paper map, imho.
Saw BumpTop and Surface (well, its research project-equivalent) before, but both are limited in the way that they're designed. For surface, it won't extend to more than just a fancy sales kiosk or an expensive coffee table. Using your arms will tire you out too quickly to make that efficient. BumpTop is cool, but I don't know if going that far away from the traditional GUI will be able to attract people. | |

Finally the launch of Microsoft's Surface is also pretty cool, but of course cool in a different way :) And yesterday I discovered BumpTop-- also pretty cool :D | |
| Alex T. | |
