I’ve always been a fan of audio and video compressing, codecs, technologies, etc… always trying to get the best possible AV quality in less space, but now, as spending so many weeks and months working, coding and taking pictures, I’ve forgotten a little bit all of this.
That’s why doing some search, I’ve found Iniciación a la HD (alta definición) y a la autoría Blu-Ray (in Spanish) from the videoedicion.org blog (a site with excelent articles and documentation about Video editting)
A great article where the author explains lots of things about High Definition and Blu-Ray technology, a must-read for everyone interested in this world.

I’m sure that you have downloaded a porn movie sometime, thinking that its a normal theater movie, probably through eMule or similars.
Well, this is called a fake, and people think that they are created with the purpose to confuse the users, to make a joke or with bad intentions.
I think that there’s another possibility… imagine you are working with your computer and your eMule is opened, downloading, and you really want to get porn movies but without your friends can see that, what the people does? they rename “Some.Porn.Movie.XXX.avi” to “Pirates.of.the.Caribbean.3.avi”, and doing that, other P2P users that are really interested in “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, they end up downloading a porn movie.
SplutterFish, the creators of Brazil Rendering System (originally called Ghost), just launched a new and interesting challenge while they are creating some really interesting new technology, called: The Ghost of Ghost Challenge: Render Like it’s the Year 2000

Just updated my iPhone 3G with the new 2.1 firmware and installed iTunes 8 on my Sony VAIO laptop, I have this Sony VAIO for 6 months and this is the first time I see a Blue Screen of Death just after the first iPhone sync with this new firmware.
The truth is that there is a compatibility problem with the new iTunes version, but Apple has released a revised version that solves the problem, you can download it here.
First, disconnect your iPod/iPhone from your PC, then uninstall iTunes 8 and Apple Mobile Device and then, reinstall the recently downloaded iTunes from Apple.
It seems that the problem is caused by a new driver that Apple has replaced with the old iTunes 7.7 version.
