Coca-Cola Happiness Truck

I never thought that there is still a company that is willing to spend some time, money and effort just to make people happy or just to smile. From what I know, Coca-Cola in the Philippines is not anymore owned by San Miguel Corporation. This is now owned by an Australian national and I think that this is a good thing. This will generate more jobs due to the promotional needs of the company and Filipinos will definitely grab the opportunity due to the crisis. For some reason this company's idea was really GREAT I should say. It caught the attraction of all the people within the area and used the internet to broadcast their promotion. This is definitely cost effective and time saving.

I have posted the video so that everyone will see what I am talking about and tell me what you think.

2011 Jaguar XJ "Technology"

The New 2011 Jaguar XJ has all the features that a guy can dream. This is a very luxurious car that I believe that only the top people can afford. The technology of this car is really outstanding! You should watch the video for you to believe. It also has a 7.1 surround sound that was designed specifically for this car and was placed on strategic locations. What else do you want? Keyless entry, keyless ignition, DVD, full media support, touch screen features and even a virtual tachometer and speedometer. Can you imagine that!!! 

 

DVI vs. HDMI

I was trying to find out on what is the difference between a DVI and a HDMI. This is what I found:

Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a digital standard introduced in 1999 by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). It is designed primarily for carrying uncompressed digital video data to a display. Originally the display was a computer monitor but DVI is now commonly used for television as well. One of the main areas of confusion with DVI is the number of different connectors available, which represent different functionality. There are three main connection types for DVI, DVI-D (digital only), DVI-A (analog only) and DVI-I (digital & analog).

 High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), released late in 2002, is an all-digital audio/video interface capable of transmitting uncompressed streams of data similar to DVI. However HDMI also provides the ability to carry audio signals, in addition to video, as well as incorporating HDCP, which is a Digital Rights Management technology.


So what is the difference?
When looking at the differences between HDMI and DVI we find they actually have more in common then differences. They both support digital transmission; they also are based on similar specifications since HDMI was derived from the DVI specification. There are two big differences:

  • HDMI incorporates content protection called High Definition Content Protection (HDCP).
  • HDMI supports audio in addition to digital video. (DVI only supports digital video)
