    I'm not a professional, and I'm ready!

    I would think the professionals could not afford not to be ready for such a dramatic decrease in the cost of superior quality equipment.

    Uh...Don't you you think this discussion is premature? We probably won't have a Scarlet until spring or summer of 2009. Intel's Nehalem CPU will be several steppings along and motherboard vendors...

    Speculation: Red must sell out to Apple

    If Scarlet is as big as I think it is going to be, I think Red will be faced with production and support scaling issues that would draw their attention away from what they are really good at. I...

    Poll: Informal Waiting List?

    Niven's "Flash Riots" from the book Ringworld

    I just got my first server traffic error message. Does anyone remember the book "Ringworld" by Larry Niven, and the teleporter flash riots? I think we are experiencing the web equivalent of this.

    My Last Words: Yes, enough suspense

    The anticipation of Scarlet is one of those things that puts me out of balance.
    How much time do I spend:
    Savoring, researching, re-playing, or regretting the past?

    If you look at the enablers of Moore's Law in other sphere's of electronics, video camera technology/price/size is far behind. Market forces do not incentivize keeping it close to the...

  13. Color Space Boundary: Red One, Format, or Laser TV?

    Hi,

    I've been doing some reading about Laser TV to talk myself out of a TV upgrade this year. This probably is not a well formed question, but has anyone every seen a graph of the color space...

    Can I weigh in on "Red Two"?

    Hi,

    Admins: Please move this post to a proper forum.
