Submission + - Novablade.com stolen, sold to highest bidder
hidingintheclosetwithaplatypus writes: Damien & Trisha Buchwald (previously) from Novablade.com have loosed the dogs of war after their registrar, Network Solutions, refused to allow them to renew or transfer their domain name and who have now sold it to another company to be auctioned off. Apparently the name's worth around US$16,000, and the Buchwalds are looking for help from anywhere they can get it.
We are infuriated, upset, and feel like we have had our very souls stolen from us and sold. This is a very disgusting, underhanded act that deserves justification.
Submission + - Video Organizing App for VLC?
tommertron writes: "I recently discovered the great, versatile, open source VLC Media Player and I've become a real convert. The fact that it can play almost any media file and has a ton of different options is a big draw. But I'd really like to have a way to organize and launch all of the videos that I have, and then launch in any program I want (preferably VLC). It would have to be able to watch certain folders for new movies, and be able to remember what I've seen and what I haven't so that I can remember to watch all the videos I've downloaded or created. Kind of like the way iTunes sorts music, but something that isn't such a memory hog and that can play more than one type of video format. A VLC plugin would be great, but I can't seem to find one. Any suggestions?"
Submission + - No HD in US voucher Set-Top Boxes
pcjjman writes: "On Tuesday the NTIA (National Telecommunications & Information Administration) released the requirements and recommendations for ATSC digital set-top boxes that wish to be valid for the $40 vouchers every US household will receive early next year. Guess what? None of the valid boxes will actually display HD signals. S-video's the best video output you'll find, and even that's optional. For more info read my post about it, or look at the actual guidelines themselves, straight from the NTIA."
