Segments

No 3D If You're Drunk, Pregnant, or Young; New 128GB Blu-ray Format; Google's Open Source Codec, Serious Sam in HD

Serious Sam will be in HD with The Second Encounter, available on Steam. Samsung is issuing some odd warnings about health issues while viewing 3D TV, especially for those who are drunk, pregnant or sleep deprived. The MacBook Pro line is getting upgraded, but still no sign of Blu-ray or HDMI support, even as the Blu-ray Disc Association unveils a new 128GB format and Silicon Image is bringing instantaneous HDMI switching to Samsung sets. Following in Warner Brothers' footsteps, Fox and Universal have made deals with Netflix to delay their new releases a month, in exchange for more instant streaming titles. Google has bought On2, which gives them the rights to the VP8 codec, which they plan to open source to power HTML5 video, possibly paving the way for a free and open standard for online video.
