If there was a seperate channel for yellow then there would be an additional 8bits(for example) of color resolution, so it is not the same. I am not saying this whole 4th color tv thing is worth a damn, I am just saying the OPs comment about not having the seperate channel thus needing to interpolate the value of yellow, is a valid point.

What he meant was that in the original RGB signal you are receiving there is no seperate yellow value, you only get the yellow after mixing the RGB.

You hit the nail right on the head. My sony reader got me reading books again, and thats what I got it for...I didnt wish it could do video, nor did a pause between pages bother me(like you said, it takes longer to turn a real page). Feature bleed is a royal pain, instead of these manufacturers making a device that does 1 thing excellent, they jam as many features in as possible so their sales flier has more bullet points that company b, but it does it all half assed.

I tunnel all my personal web surfing back to my home computer. Doesnt matter if I am at work, at a coffee shop, or in a hotel on vacation. Never trust that your connection is safe, there are even risks with ones home connection, but for all intents an purposes, it is secure.

Maglev On the Drawing Boards 334

longacre sends along a Popular Mechanics article on the growing interest in magnetic levitation trains in the US. It's unclear how many will actually get built here, at $100 million per track mile. (In recent years we've discussed maglev projects in China and Germany.) The article has a map of many proposed transportation projects in the US, some of them maglev, and a video of a General Atomics maglev prototype in action. On a related note, an anonymous reader recommends this article on a proposed maglev wind-power turbine, said to offer the promise of replacing 1,000 conventional wind turbines.
