Rating:  - Worth the MoneyWith most things you get what you pay for and that is the case with Monster Cables. It did make a noticeable difference when compared with the stock cable that it replaced. I have since upgraded to a HDMI 600 and it was better than the 400 although not as big of a difference. Monster Cables are a quality product that made a difference on my television. Rating:  - If you can get it out of the package then just plug it in, turn it on, and enjoyI needed something fast. This critter was on the shelf. The hardest part of the operation was getting this animal out of the packaging. That is no easy task. I imagined I would have to get lost in the sleazy part of town to find someone with the skill and a sharp enough blade to extract the cable without mutilating it or slicing up the warranty paper. The plastic casing (probably air tight) proved to be quite resilient and it took quite some time to slice little pieces of the welded edge before getting a handhold to jerk the case apart. I suggest you use leather gloves if you do not want to pay for an emergency hospital visit and clean up all the blood. After the thrill of the opening ...

Rating:  - Expensive HDMI cables are pointless, I'll tell you why.HDMI is an all digital connection. That means and whole bunch of zero's and one's are being sent through the cable. 1's and 0's will NOT degrade or be subject to interference. Either the 0's and 1's are sent, or they aren't. There is no inbetween. I have always used 10 dollar cables and they work excellent and factually just as well as more expensive cables. Rating: - Don't waste money...... on the Monster hype and high price quality. There are HDMI cables for $15 here at Amazon that do a great job. I have this cable and it's given me nothing but trouble (and the fact that HDMI + cable technology is not consumer ready though they shove it down our throats). |
Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."
I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.
I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.
I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.
I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.
Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.
There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.
Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
While this iPhone security hole isn't nearly as gaping as the last one we covered (which was fixed by Apple), it too exploits the emergency call feature in password-protected mode. In password-protected mode, there's an option to disable SMS preview, so if someone picks up your locked phone, they can't see incoming text messages. However, if you activate a locked phone's emergency call mode, and it receives a text message, it'll show you the full text in preview. And yes, this is with 2.1. Again, a sorta minor security oversight, but if you're super-secret about your texts (for whatever reasons), this is definitely a problem and needs to be fixed in the next update.
