  • CNN's tech toys are getting out of hand

    And of course, the parody of the election map ****:

        Hologram, my ass - he's just looking at an empty (red) spot.

        The signals from the cameras is mixed on the fly and can only be seen on a TV set. That mixing is thogh quite nifty - must demand a lot of processing capacity.
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

            it's really simple chroma-key. The only difference being it is movement and camera coordination being synchronized between both studios. It's high tech but it's nothing "unseen before".

            And you can easily see the blue-screen edges around her.

              I thought that was her personality glowing.

                They are CNN commentators. They have no personality.

                  You did not just say that about The Wolf or The Anderson Cooper...

                      That's not Surface...MSNBC uses Surface.

                      Did I mention that my shop has about half a dozen big-ticket Surface apps under development? They're really ****ing cool. I love working on it just to spite Agathon, who called it an iPhone ripoff.

                      Perceptive Pixel makes that board, it's more like the iPhone. Surface uses a completely different technology that is far more powerful (but bulkier). For instance, Surface can recognize objects placed on the device. Check out this new feature called SecondLight:


                      One of the projects we're working on is for a major airline. Look for Surfaces in terminals soon.

                        That was my first thought too.
