This is rad.

Take one Motion picture Stuff Workprinter XP. Now add a Red One. You now have an ultra-high-def Super 8 telecine system.

What does that mean for you non camera geeks? It means it’s a way of transferring analog Super 8 films into perfect, high-rez digital archives.

Why anyone would need that kind of quality from Super 8 remains to be seen, but this is a very awesome proof of concept.

Hit the jump to see our friend Mike and his Red in action. Why? Just because camera nerds love those pics.

Red One and Super 8mm at last! [On Super 8mm blog]

In their inimitable, behind the walled garden style, the WSJ points out that hotel rooms are so complex that they’re getting impossible to operate. I’d write more, but Mr. Murdoch still hasn’t opened up some of the coolest content to on the internet readers and, as a result, leaves us hanging. Maybe hotel rooms are too complex […]

Maybe hotel rooms are too complex or maybe the WSJ’s readership is populated by morons and the sub-literate. Perhaps we’ll never know.

I’ll leave this up to you as to whether or not you take into account this a good deal.

I’ll leave this up to you as to whether or not you take into account this a good deal.

In light of what retailers like Best Purchase and Circuit City are offering to HD DVD refugees, Amazon’s decided to get in on the good-will action by offering the following;

“For a limited time, receive two HD DVDs from the list below for free when you buy the Samsung BD-UP5000 1080p HD-DVD Blu-Ray Disc Combo Player and any two Blu-ray discs sold by Amazon.com.”

As of right now, the BD-UP5000 is out of stock but it normally goes for around $450. You’ve five HD DVD movies to select from; Batman Begins, Excalibur, Rio Bravo, The Road Warrior, and Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. So in effect, you’ll have to spend almost $500 for the player and two Blu-ray discs to get two free HD DVDs from a list of five.

I’ll reserve judgment but TechConsumer’s Bob Caswell states, “Gee, thanks, Amazon.”
