China-only HD DVD spec defined
We suppose being the most-populated nation on the planet, home to many CE manufacturers -- and having a huge black market -- can afford one such "privileges". As such, the DVD Forum recently defined the Chinese version of HD DVD they've been working on since early this year and expect to complete by the end of the year. Physically, it's the same as the HD DVDs used elsewhere, but uses a different modulation codec (the pattern used to record the pits and lands) that makes it incompatible. Exactly how "HD DVD-ROM part1 Ver 10.0 for China only" will be implemented is apparently just the thing under discussion between China and the DVD Forum.
His noodly appendage touched my iPod
As a fan of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (that's FSM to true believers), I was delighted when TUAW reader Eric sent us this tip. GelaSkins sells adhesive iPod skins, including two of the FSM himself. In fact, they've got quite a nice collection of skins, all removable and made of high-quality vinyl. Skins are available for the iPod, iPod nano, iPod mini and 4G iPod. They all cost $14.95, and you get one free when you buy three.
