he's pointing out how the macbook is smaller and lighter and slower and more expensive than the macbook air.

it's a p bad name, really, though i imagine the mba will get phased out sooner rather than later in favor of it. but who knows, you can still buy a non-retina 13" mbp

macbook air became the consumer laptop in 2011 when apple stopped making macbooks. when apple redesigned the macbook air in 2015 for retina, they dropped the descriptor that was only meaningful between 2008 and 2011 when they sold three laptops: traveler, consumer, professional

macbook airs are only still sold for the same reason pre-retina macbook pros and imacs are: to burn up old parts stock and to continue to make higher-percent profits off older designs that don't need logistics retooling, because people will still buy them for some reason, be they price conscious, scared by change, or mentally deficient

or how pc parts sites have the name as "ACER 24" 1080p VC211H-X 2 X HDMI 2ms 50000:1 wide viewing angle VESA"

when youre looking down a list of crap its good to have meaningful poo poo in the title so you dont have to click "acer vc211h-x" to find out it's 24”, 1080p, 2ms grey-to-grey (why so fast? cause GaMeRs want fast lovely panels), then click the next one, the next one, the next one

filtering would be better but thats not how people use sites. they just cram more specificity into the search box

there's not much special about beats 1

it's radio by a multinational with one venue instead of a conglomerate with tens of thousands of venues

by necessity the playlist is just whatever's on apple music, and in practice it's top 100 instead of top 40

ah ok

we believe that joining the forces of the designers of the Daala, Thor and VPx codecs in AOMedia will multiply our collective efforts to deliver next-generation media codecs, formats and technologies.”

“Google launched the WebM Project in 2010 in the belief that web video innovation was too slow and too closed, and that broad collaboration — in the open — would fix both problems. The Alliance for Open Media is a big leap forward for these core philosophies, and we’re gratified that our AOMedia partners share this vision. Our combined strength, resources and expertise will drive the next generation of web media experiences much further and faster than WebM can do alone,” said Matt Frost, Head of Strategy and Partnerships, Chrome Media.

apples already paying mpeg for usage of both h264 and h265

its really not a problem for apple because licensing is only a couple cents per device

but for google and its business partners thats millions closer to bankruptcy

android 5 already has h265 so its more of a future play

a couple businesses coming together to gamble a few million on a codec is cheaper than everyone continuing to pay mpeg, if it takes off

this is simple as gently caress, but:

30, 60 are digital

pagan cow parachute account spotted

also, do cellphones or point and shoots film in PAL anymore? or ever? or is that just PAL video cameras? like what's the likelihood someone is using a PAL device to film that at 50 fps

the likelihood is there. phones and cameras sold in PAL regions generally record in or support recording in PAL. even cameras not sold in those regions support recording in PAL. but the video's creator probably set the framerate in after effects before adding the ants and camera wobble

it sucks when people combine digital (30) and ntsc (29.97) as one option. it can cause issues down the line

well it's complicated cause he started on youtube and released mixtapes before he released an album which was basically a mix tape of all his mix tapes

he's the son of ethiopian immigrants and a high-school drop-out but lets just paint anyone on the radio with the same brush as britney spears

the last time i said i liked a black artist someone jumped down my thought about "liking the latest manufactured pop tunes" when actually they again were the children of poor immigrants who got popular on youtube after several unsuccessful albums. what is with that i wonder.
