... sorry for the quality of this clip, but as the only recording equipment I had on me was a Nokia 6630 with a 1.3 Mpix camera, this was the best I could do. Skating on the sea outside of Vasa, ice thickness about 5 cm. Windy but nice!
DVB-H or not DVB-H?
How much should a governmental body regulate the businessworld? That's a question lots of people - and governments and businesses alike - have been asking themselves throughout the ages. With regards to mobile tv, that question is being asked again, as the EU now puts its full (and considerable) weight behind the DVB-H standard for…Read more DVB-H or not DVB-H?
To sell a format
Now, the television business is not an easy one. Lots of money moving around, for sure. But to break into that flow of money is more of a challenge.When selling a television format, most buyers would like to see an episode, or even better, a whole series.

Miro challenging Joost, Babelgum et al
New kid on the block, Miro, is trying to challenge Joost, Babelgum and the rest of the bunch with its slightly different take on things. See.

CSI:NY vs Second Life – how did it go?
Well, being situated in Finland I had a bit of a problem catching the CSI:NY program itself, so haven't seen that one.

Just plugged in my 4Gb smartdrive USB stick, and realized that not so long ago, 4Gb was what you'd be REALLY lucky to fit into a bloody livingroom.One gigabyte then, one gigabyte now. Old one - MUCH cooler...I just wish, really really wish, that all the energy spent on not so important things - like…Read more The times they are a-changing
Hear, hear! The latest word on Joost.
