Customer Intuition: ESPN Considers Branded TVs
[BeConnected] The network is also considering the possibility of offering special content to owners of its TV's. As digital televisions begin to enter the market with standard Ethernet connections and built-in hard drive recorders (called personal video recorders, or P.V.R.'s), there will be more opportunities for content providers to offer programming to a captive audience.
Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.
[Ibiblio.org] EMUSIC-L Weblog: Not cheap: $2495. But it provides something exceptionally cool: you can drap-and-drop your desired controls in a Mac Windows, or Linux application and up load them to the Lemur. The controls are all described via XML, so themore programming-minded could conceiveable generate the controls undersoeftware control.
[Ideas.4brad.com] brad's blog | Brad Ideas: When you have a lot of data, you can always find something that matches what you are looking for. When you find it, your intuition tells you “this is too strange to be coincidence.” But in fact math tells us that it is.
[Templetons.com] Ideal Audio-Visual system: For pure audio, you want to insert a small delay, and have synchronizedclocks among the speakers. (Synchronized to within ethernet delay isfine.) This allows a jitter buffer and retransmit of loss packets. UnlikeVoIP where lost packets are discarded because people would rather have asmall audio glitch than a long latency, here it's the reverse.
