JAMES JANNARD RED CAMERAS.

James Jannard may be a new name to most but very soon the name will be better known outside the U.S.A. A 56 year old family man with four children who lives in San Juan Washington State.
James Jannard is the man behind the famous glasses frames we all know as Oakley and relatively unknown outside of the U.S. Some pairs of the Thump sunglasses for example have over 125 parts in them made up with the MP3 ability. He also founded a company in 2005 called Red.
What is Red ?
Red is a company who amazingly offer a 4k digital video camera which means the video is shot at 4,000 lines and not the 1,080 from HD(high definition) at present.
Many film directors are jumping on the Red bandwagon as the return video is miles in front of anything else. Who knows maybe an a couple of years HD may have to move over for Red technology.
The U.S. are already selling these new types of the Red technology in the shape of a 3k camera (called Scarlet), a 4k camera and a 5k camera.
The price needs to come down a lot unless you are keen, the Scarlet (3k) comes in at around $3,000 in the U.S.

COMPARE FREE TV TO SUBSCRIPTION TELEVISION.

COMPARE FREE TV TO SUBSCRIPTION TELEVISION.

COMPARE FREE TV TO SUBSCRIPTION TELEVISION and view at a glance the true cost of digital TV.

SKY, VIRGIN MEDIA, FREEVIEW AND FREESAT are saturating British Television with all sorts of programming from Childrens programmes to Adult programmes.
While deciding which TV subscription to go for consider all the new type viewing and future TV set you will buy. Many new viewers are going for the latest "all singing, all dancing" TV sets which compliment their chosen type of viewing.
FREEVIEW;
In U.K. there is an estimated 9.6 million Freeview boxes and an estimated 73% of U.K. can view it, many of course get very bad reception which is forcing them to think again about the type of viewing which will let them see all available channels.
U.K. viewers can buy a Freeview box and those in good reception area's already know the benefit of a Freeview box for as little as £20 with no ongoing fee except their TV licence.
Main benefits of Freeview : no ugly satellite dish, no ongoing monthly suscription, programmes cater for all ages.

VIRGIN MEDIA;
In U.K. there is an estimated 3.0 million Virgin Media viewers and it is possible for more than 50% of U.K. viewers to receive it. The basic Virgin Media package can start at around £11 but can climb to an astronomical £120 plus per month. On top of this fee you will also have your TV licence fee.
Main benefits of Virgin Media : no need for ugly satellite dish.

SKY;
In U.K. there is an estimated 8.89 million and the reach is estimated at 98% of U.K. viewers who can receive it. The basic Sky package can be bought for £16 a month. On top of your chosen monthly subscripion you will still have to pay your licence fee.
Main benefit of Sky TV : for those who can afford the different packages come a wide choice of programmes.

FREESAT;
As a completely new TV platform freesat has not released official information figures so we have taken these figures from official sources.
In U.K. there is an estimated 492,000 viewers who watch the freesat from Sky version. It is suggested that once the free channels migrate to freesat from Sky and the addition of other freesat channels we could see a mass exodus over to freesat.
With a 98% U.K. viewing coverage exactly the same as Sky then most viewers will be able to view it. The basic freesat set top box will cost approx. £50 with no ongoing subscriptions. On top of this you will still have your TV licence fee.
Main benefits of freesat ; Multimedia future proofed which no other system has, no ongoing subscription fees, top quality HD channels for free.

Conclusion; Although the names suggest Freeview and freesat are free this is not the case as we all still have to find a licence fee. For those with excellent reception with Freeview are the luckiest viewers in the U.K.
Sky TV is seen as a company who revolutionized viewers experience in the U.K. and in return the U.K. viewer has for years suffered the greed of big business in the form of escalatory monthly subscriptions and a hate for adverts which they believe they have paid for with their subscriptions.
Virgin Media similar to Sky TV which although has 3.0 million subscribers the cost is formidable.
freesat! freesat is the future; with multimedia ability which no other satellite receiver mentioned here has, add to this no ongoing fees to watch the exact same programming and you have to consider this;; free channels already on the Sky platform which subscribers are paying for will soon be on freesat and cost nothing.

BEIJING OLYMPICS UNCOVERS INDIA'S JEWEL IN THE CROWN.

BEIJING OLYMPICS UNCOVERS INDIA'S JEWEL IN THE CROWN.

बेजिंग ओलंपिक में ढूँढता है भारत के ज्वेल का मुकुट है .

BEIJING OLYMPICS REVEALS INDIA'S JEWEL IN THE CROWN during the Olympic games from Beijing in the shape of India's first ever individual gold medalalist.
In a country which has an estimated; 1,130,000,000 people this is quite amazing and in a country which has always reflected indifference to the world Olympic sports arena.
India managed to get three medals in Beijing; in the 75kg boxing they won a bronze, and another bronze in the mens freestyle 66kg wrestling.
India's hero who will go down in history is Abhinav Bindra who won the gold medal in shooting in the men's 100m air rifle.
The gold medal has made Abhinav a household name in India and you can be sure many young Indians will be starting to train for the 2012 Olympics in London after Abhinav's perfect performance.
A country with so many people must have loads of untapped talent and it is all the more amazing that Abhinav Bindra was the first ever individual gold medalist.

Out of respect of India's Olympic Achievements we have translated the above comment.

बेजिंग ओलंपिक में भारत का पता चलता है ज्वेल में ताज के दौरान बीजिंग में ओलंपिक खेलों के आकार से भारत के पहले कभी सोने की व्यक्तिगत medalalist . एक ऐसे देश में जो एक अनुमान के अनुसार , 1130000000 लोगों में यह काफी आश्चर्यजनक है और एक देश है , जिसे हमेशा उदासीनता परिलक्षित करने के लिए दुनिया के ओलिंपिक खेल मैदान . भारत का प्रबंधन कर पाने के लिए बीजिंग में तीन पदक ; 75kg मुक्केबाजी में वे एक कांस्य जीता है , और पीतल की एक और कुश्ती में mens फ्री 66kg . नायक जाएगा जो भारत के इतिहास में अभिनव बिंद्रा है जो स्वर्ण पदक जीता में 100 पुरुषों की शूटिंग में एयर राइफल हैं . इस स्वर्ण पदक अभिनव ने भारत में एक घर के नाम से किया जा सकता है और आप निश्चित करें कि कई युवा भारतीयों को प्रशिक्षित करने के लिए शुरू की जाएगी 2012 के ओलंपिक के लिए लंदन में प्रदर्शन के बाद अभिनव की पूर्ण है . देश में एक साथ इतने सारे लोगों का भार अप्रयुक्त प्रतिभा होनी चाहिए और यह सब किया गया था और अधिक आश्चर्यजनक है कि अभिनव बिंद्रा का पहला स्वर्ण पदक विजेता व्यक्तिगत है .

BEIJING TAEKWONDO BLIND JUDGES.

BEIJING TAEKWONDO BLIND JUDGES.

BEIJING TAEKWONDO JUDGES are in bad need of glasses. Over the past few days it has already been echoed about the poor judgements being given in the Taekwondo arena.
In the graphics you will clearly see the GB Team member Sarah Stevenson being robbed of two points.
The first graphic shot shows the head strike, the second graphic shows the grimace of pain on the opponent and the third graphic clearly shows the extent of the force the opponent was hit.
The fourth graphic at the bottom shows one of the four judges viewing from a different angle as the head strike hits. Click on the graphics for a closer look.
The Taekwondo judges; ALL FOUR OF THEM never seen the hit resulting in a loss instead of a win for part of the GB Team.
Considering this is a Sport famed for respect and etiquette this is a disgrace.
UPDATE ON THIS REPORT;
IN AN AMAZING TURN AROUND SARAH STEVENSON HAS BEEN AWARDED THE EXPECTED TWO POINTS WHICH SHE SHOULD HAVE HAD TO BEGIN WITH. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE WITH THE SENSE TO VIEW THE VIDEO HAS TAKEN THIS DECISION FOR THE BENEFIT OF SARAH STEVENSON AND THE WHOLE BRITISH TEAM NOT FORGETTING THE GOOD NAME OF TAEKWONDO. IT ALSO REINFORCES OUR BELIEF THAT THE BEIJING OLYMPIC TAEKWONDO TEAM OF JUDGES NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEMSLVE'S AS THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BRITISH TEAM HAVE BEEN PENALISED WRONGLY.

FURTHER UPDATE-

Sarah Stevenson finally earned herself the elusive Olympic taekwondo medal she has craved since her Games début as a teenager in Sydney eight years ago by winning the Bronze medal for Team GB the first medal in the sport. WELL DONE SARAH!

Communication Nation: UK consumers paying less but getting more

People in the UK are spending more time using communications services than ever before – but paying less for them, according to Ofcom’s latest annual report into the UK’s £51 billion communications industry.

Using more

The 365 page report shows that in 2007 we spent an average of 7 hours and 9 minutes a day using an array of communications services - up by 6 minutes from 2002. This includes watching television, surfing the net, using our mobiles, talking on a landline phone and listening to the radio.

Our mobile and internet use has increased by the greatest amount. Between 2002 and 2007 the time we spent talking and texting on our mobiles doubled, up from 5 minutes to 10 minutes each day. Meanwhile, time spent on PCs and lap-tops has grown fourfold between 2002 and 2007 - from 6 minutes to 24 minutes per person every day.

Paying less...fULL REPORT...

TEAM GREAT BRITAINS BEIJING OLYMPICS WORLD RECORDS 20th August 2008.

TEAM GREAT BRITAINS BEIJING OLYMPICS WORLD RECORDS 20th August 2008.

TEAM GREAT BRITAINS BEIJING OLYMPIC WORLD RECORDS will go into the record books as one of the best Olympic Games Great Britain has ever had and we still have four days to go.
Reverberations are already being voiced that Lottery funding is providing excellent training facilities, but surely the credit has to be directed at the new breed of record breaking athletes and their coaches we are fortunate to have.
The British Sporting Spirit has never been so strong and a big thanks for that must go to the excellent first class coverage we are receiving from our BBC. Six and sometimes seven screens plus BBC HD (for those fortunate enough to have either an HD receiver or any of the new freesat boxes; ie; Grundig Gufsat, Bush BFsat, Goodmans GF or the Humax Foxsat) we have never missed any of the action and we are viewing excellent value for our licence fee.
Beijing Olympics record breakers going into the history books from Team GB are;
