It has been nearly two weeks since my last post. Things are currently really hectic, who would have knew that moving house would have been such a problem. Unfortunately I seem to have picked a cretin of a solicitor who refuses to budge on one final legal search. The term 'jobsworth' does not even come close, I am so glad that I never did that law degree all those years ago and became a solicitor, I am not sure how I would be able to sleep at night. In addition to this my PhD is finally moving now. I have some deadlines coming up which I should make with ease and hopefully I can continue this momentum to move further forward with my doctoral research.
By now I was hoping to have watched
The Graduate in
HD but the
HD-DVD has been delayed by Studio Canal, along with a number of other titles, because they are integrating a new version of
AACS protection. This is no doubt because of the recent surge in
HD-DVD and
Blu-Ray rips being uploaded to Newsgroups,
RapidShare etc and the wonderful piece of software that is
AnyDVD HD. This is a wasted exercise as, like the first incarnation of
AACS, it will eventually be cracked and will also mean that software
HD-DVD players will have to be updated in order to handle this new form of protection. I hope that
Cyberlink get their act together and manage to release an update for
PowerDVD Ultra in time but I imagine that
SlySoft will find a way round this new form of protection first if
Cyberlink's track record is anything to go by.
