Comment on Better than Video: Slideshows by Lance

Very cool. Great stuff!
I really like what you are doing and am proud to have become a subscriber this evening.

On Slideshows, what might be really cool (if a bit iPod-centric) is if you could get the slides into a AAC podcast so that you could see the slides on your iPod screen and have them sync up with the audio too. Yeah iPod only but that would be really cool.

Comment on Marantz PMD660 Revisited by Juan

Hi,
Thanks for your comments on the MPMD660. I have one and would like to start podcasting. My problem is that I can’t seem to get stereo sound out of the XLRs and the presets. Do you have any advice. I can obviously live with mono sound for interviews that I just have to transcribe but this is useless for broadcast. Thanks and peace,
Juan

Comment on Skype for Interviews - A How-To Video by Your Auction News

What a great video. I actually replaced my home land line for Skype. Now I’m only paying $6.00 a month instead of $70.00 with my land line.

I really enjoy the freedom I have with my wifi phone. I take with me when I go traveling. I just find a wifi area and start making my calls.

They hit me with this just recently. Claimed I sent out spam mail, but I’m guessing it was someone else at the same floating IP. ‘Their’ notification mail had misdirected links in it, and while trying to find out if it was a phishing attack or not, I got nothing but a runaround from their ’security’ section via email. Thanks for summarizing the problem; changed the port in Thunderbird, and things work fine (I’ve always used auth).

Comment on Major Defect: Apple 30″ Cinema Display Monitors by Steve Perkins

30″ display with red [ixels that swam the screen and blue vertical bands. I took display into Apple and it seemed to work fine. I purchased a new graphics card with no luck. I even bought a new mac and still the same. I switched it to another mac further away in our office and that worked for a while. If I switch to one of the other plugs on card that is for smaller displays it seems to work fine except that defeats the purpose of such a big display. I am wondering if it is in power supply (overheating?) or if it is caused by electrical interference in the building.

Kevin - Comcast is blocking all traffic outbound on port 25 (and maybe inbound?) on every residential account I’ve come across in the past several months. While this may not matter to most people, it causes huge problems for others.

I am amazed at the quality that is achievable here. I have been producing my own recordings in house via my digital recording system and can easily compare this quality to almost CD definition. Well done, thanks for a fantastic free video & keep up the great work you are involved in.

Comment on Major Defect: Apple 30″ Cinema Display Monitors by Masahiro

Hi,
I recently discovered a problem with my two years old 30″ Apple Cinema Display with green or purple splashing/flickering lines crossing the screen. It happens when I connect to the main DVI port with high resolution (2560×1600) set up and does not happen with the other DVI port of my NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphic card. (BTW The display is connected to MacPro 2.66 dual-core 3GB memory Mac OS Leopard.) I have another NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphic card installed and tested, the result was the same.
It shows the same, green or purple splashing/flickering lines crossing the screen when I use the primary DVI port.
I also tested the power supply adapter from other 30″ Apple Cinema Display and the result was the same.
It seems like the problem is in either the cable or the logic board inside the Display but not sure.
Any suggestions?
PS I could also attach the image of the screen, if you could respond me with your address.
Thanks.
M
