ATI's OCUR in Action
Despite being extremely excited about the product and expecting to see it just about everywhere, the only other place we've seen ATI's OCUR has been at Toshiba's booth plugged into one of their notebooks.
We may have just missed it elsewhere but we did look long and hard for it. Despite not making much of an appearance at CES, we still can't wait for it to officially launch alongside Windows Vista.
If you haven't read our original article on it from earlier in the week, ATI's OCUR basically brings CableCard and HD support to Media Center in Windows Vista - meaning you'll be able to finally watch and record all programming (except for on-demand and pay-per-view) that your cable company provides using Microsoft's Media Center in Vista.

From page 8:Actually, that only exist if at least 1 dimension of display content dimensions isn't integer divisor of display's native resolution. Secondly, DLP can overcome this by shining at only the biggest subset of mirror in the DMDs that do not cause distortions, then use adjustable sets of lenses to perform zooming, with each set zooming at only 1 axis.

Please do a review of this thing when it becomes available. I'd love to see how its output compares to Blu-ray and HD-DVD. I'm sure it's not as good... but just how much worse is what I'd like to know.highlandsun - Thursday, January 12, 2006 - link
Samsung has pretty good scaling technology, but it seems to me this is something you only need in your display. (And Samsung TVs do pretty good upconversion already.) So, kind of silly.VooDooAddict - Monday, January 9, 2006 - link
Raptor X.I feel so guilty. I'm drooling over a hard drive that costs more then a 7800GT.
I've wanted a windowed Hard drive for ages though... but don't have the dremmel skills nessesary to add a window to an existing drive.

Nobody has the dremel skills. Drives are assembled in clean rooms. Beaking the seal will be the end of a drive.Clauzii - Monday, January 9, 2006 - link

I've noticed lately that article text seems to disappear a few seconds after page load, frequently when one of the sidebar ads appears. Can't be retrieved except by highlighting it, moving the page back and forth (so it redraws), etc. Happened on a number of articles over the past week or so...
