Check out both the Promo and the CGI Promo.
Just found out apparently they've been looking funding for 3 years and in November last year they got the nod.

Chinatown, Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square
Celebration for Chinese New Year of the Dog begins with a parade, starting at 11am, along Charing Cross Road to Trafalgar Square. The parade features the Gold Sail Dance group from Beijing plus London based performers including Jun Mo.
They could not have made it any easier, but I still missed the parade. Damn and its year of the Dog, my year. Didn't want to stick around till the 5pm fireworks, so I went to Gym instead.

Following the Sony Corporation FY05 3Q announcement, the production of AIBO Entertainment Robots has been discontinued as of end March 2006. As for the sales activity, we will discontinue the sales of AIBO once all remaining stock runs out.Yes, sadly this is true. I always considered Aibo (Artificial Intelligence RoBOt, - now you know) as an icon of mans exploration into the world of robotics. Development on both Aibo and QRIO (Quest for CuRIOsity, pronounced - Curio) has stopped.

NTSC is based on a 525-line, 60 fields/30 frames-per-second at 60Hz system for transmission and display of video images. This is an interlaced system in which each frame is scanned in two fields of 262 lines, which is then combined to display a frame of video with 525 scan lines. NTSC is the official analog video standard in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, some parts of Central and South America, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea.
PALPAL is the dominant format in the World for analog television broadcasting and video display (sorry U.S.) and is based on a 625 line, 50 field/25 frames a second, 50HZ system. The signal is interlaced, like NTSC, into two fields, composed of 312 lines each. Several distinguishing features are one: A better overall picture than NTSC because of the increased amount of scan lines. Two: Since color was part of the standard from the beginning, color consistency between stations and TVs are much better. In addition, PAL has a frame rate closer to that of film. PAL has a 25 frames per second rate, while film has a frame rate of 24 frames per second. Countries on the PAL system include the U.K., Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, China, India, most of Africa, and the Middle East.

Progressive Scan
With the advent of home and office desktop computers, it was discovered that using a traditional television for the display of computer images did not yield good results, especially with text. This was due to the effect of interlaced scan. In order to produce a more pleasing and precise way of displaying images on a computer, progressive scan was developed.
Progressive scan differs from interlaced scan in that the image is displayed on a screen by scanning each line (or row of pixels) in a sequential order rather than an alternate order, as is done with interlaced scan. In other words, in progressive scan, the image lines (or pixel rows) are scanned in numerical order (1,2,3) down the screen from top to bottom, instead of in an alternate order (lines or rows 1,3,5, etc... followed by lines or rows 2,4,6). By progressively scanning the image onto a screen every 60th of a second rather than "interlacing" alternate lines every 30th of a second, a smoother, more detailed, image can be produced on the screen that is perfectly suited for viewing fine details, such as text, and is also less susceptible to interlace flicker.
Seeing this technology as way to improve the way we view images on a television screen, progressive scan has now been applied to the display of DVD and certain types of HDTV images.

Tonight I had a really good meal. Imagine all your favourite food items (in my case a Sushi palate cleanser, Peking Duck Spring Rolls, Gourmet Organic Hamburger w/ Somerset Cheddar with Thick Handcut Cut Chips followed by assorted Chocolate Truffles, Chololate Brownies and Double Chocolate Cheesecake)...
