Shanghai, China -- As China prepares a digital terrestrial TV standard suitable for fixed and mobile terminals, uncertainty is growing over the future of rival mobile-TV standards here.
China has been experimenting with two competing mobile-TV broadcast standards: Digital Video Broadcast-based DVB-Handheld and a South Korean derivative of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) known as Terrestrial-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting. However, now that China's own digital TV standard is close to finished, authorities here are giving it priority, threatening the viability of European-invented DVB-H and DAB-based T-DMB.

"This is David Lynch's 55 second short filmed with an original Lumiere camera. 40 international directors were asked to make a short film ... all » using the original Cinematographe invented by the Lumière Brothers, working under conditions similar to those of 1895. There were three rules: (1) The film could be no longer than 52 seconds, (2) no synchronized sound was permitted, and (3) no more than three takes. Having seen all of the results (including Spike Lee's pithy effort) Lynch's film is unquestionably the most interesting. It makes me wish he would shoot an entire film with this stock. Remember while watching that all the effects are in-camera and there is no cutting for scenes."

The Marine took four years off from active duty to serve as a recruiter in Flint, Mich. after donating one of his kidneys to his uncle, his father said. "We need to resolve the war," he said. "If we walk out now, my son died for nothing and that will make me mad." "
