MySpace today (actually the time is dated in the future at the time of this post. interesting) is alerting their users that YouTube.com seems to be running ’slow’ today. Ummmm. I’m not so sure its true. Especially went the recommended fix by our friend Tom is to REMOVE ALL YOUTUBE VIDEOS. Good one. I wonder if anyone got suckered into this one…
Watch the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs interview by Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher in its entirety from the All Things Digital Conference. Videos below are in order top to bottom. Sorry about the Brightcove player and embedded ads. I guess they have bills to pay…

This can’t be good for business.

According to TechOn out of Japan, the main difference between the HDC-SD1 versus the HDC-SD3 specifically is the H.264 codec LSI (large scale integration) chip. Prior to the SD3, a powerful enough LSI chip was not available to encode the images in full 1920×1080i in H.264 compression so the image was scaled down to 1440×1080 prior to scaling back up after the compression. The “Full HD” description in the SD3 is describing the inclusion of a newer LSI chip that allows the camera to fully take advantage of the optics without degrading the image quality first. Sounds like to me it is a worth while improvement. I still have not seem any comparisons of actual footage but if you can wait to buy your camcorder, it will probably be worth it.
