YouTube welcomes High Definition media
Nov 29th
Since 25 November, if you’ve noticed, YouTube’s video screen is wider than before. This is because now YouTubes video player is optimized for HD video. Since HD is gaining more and more popularity and recognition it is no wonder that YouTube took this step.
Older videos with standartd 4:3 resolutions are shown at their 100% width and with empty space at both sides.
It is said that not all of the YouTube’s servers are yet updated so there are countries for which YouTube is with the older player.
Of course feedback varies and there are people who do not approve the new player and want the older one back. There is also an opinion that there should be at least a button available for users which switches between standard and HD screen. Till now, YouTube has not answered to users’ feedbank so we should just wait and see what happens next.
Advertising Apple back in 1984
Nov 27th
Here is an interesting video i came across. Maybe most people have seen it, but i seem to have missed that.
This is the first ad ever produced to promote Apple and Apple computers. Director of the video is, guess who, Ridley Scott.
Tell me if i am wrong, but i do not really think that they really changed the “picture”. This ad sounds much like – “The King is dead, long live the King”, doesnt it?
