Sony did used to make DVD drives at one point.
They merged their optical drive business with NEC's and created Optiarc.
Actually, looks like Sony bought out NEC's share, so Optiarc is all Sony's now. So they are back to making optical drives again. ^_^
The class definition is the lowest speed. The 15MB/s may be a max speed rating. Case in point, San Disk's Ultra SDHC card. A card marked 15MB/s, yet is only a class 4 card. That means max speed is 15MB/s, but in some cases, it'll drop below 6MB/s. In fact, that 15MB/s is a read speed, it cannot write to the card that fast.

Woz had almost nothing do with the Mac, go away troll.
My 2004 Corolla has these metal hooks to hold the floor mats in.
The key is to make sure the mats stay on the hooks.
My car isn't part of the recall; they must have changed something since my car was made. Why the accelerator assembly would be changed is beyond me, but what do I know?
(it's also sake, not "saki")
It might not actually work in Parallels and VMWare. I've heard that some of that exam software works oddly and actually doesn't run properly in a virtual environment.
They have valid licenses for decoding MPEG-4.
Polaroid? Maybe you haven't seen the whoring out of their brand name; I recall CD burners and silly electronics brandished with their name.
Take a closer look at that list, they're all pretty much companies that aren't the original company anymore, at least when it comes to the use of their brand.
You don't know what you think you know.
Interlaced DVDs have nothing really to do with VHS. They're not upscaled VHS tapes by any stretch. The used to make some of the DVDs might be interlaced, but almost never are those masters VHS tapes (I say almost never because maybe there's an example of it happening at some point; I'm sure as hell not aware of it). At worst, Betacam tape (not the consumer BetaMax), more likely D2 tape. Well, these days, I'd like to hope it's DigiBeta or some other component format being sent.
The interlacing can come from multiple sources, it's usually from the editing process (via interlaced studio equipment). Sometimes these things were introduced by the Japanese company, sometimes they're introduced by the localization company.
And there's no point in making a BD with DVD level resolution on it; one can just make a DVD, which will play in a BD player (and not cutoff your market).
Packaged Hell, as we used to call them. You too can own your own little hell; how they could cram so much pain into such a small package defied belief.
Divorce her and leave her the phone. That'll teach her.
I'd better go change the code on my luggage.
You can boost QT's volume playback by a little over 100%, though. Just hold Shift + Command + up arrow and QT will just let you set the volume louder than 100%. If you change the volume slider, it'll jump back down. I think it's either 150% or 200%; I forget how high it goes.
The one where people have actually watched the movie "Airplane!"
