I bought the new Sony Ericsson K750i mobile phone for two reasons: it has a 2 megapixel camera and a slot for a Memory Stick Duo Pro up to 1GB. The screen size is 176x220 and other…

Well, the MPEG-4 movie is excellent. It must be the MPEG-4 to 3GP conversion. I use QT as encoder. I tried several settings, but all but the standard one failed to play on my phone…

My question is how much image are you going to get on a cellphone screen? I firmly believe that some films MUST be seen on a big screen, at least the first time, and that a small …

because its teh h4xx0rz 1337 thang to do.

Better to do some shorts. Like the SW cartoons or the Simpsons. Shorter and sweeter (I have a Nokia 6630 with hot swoppable mmc cards, including a 256mb with a few vids on it).

I think Randman has the better idea. Besides, animated shorts don't need nearly the resolution to be able to see what's going on. Really guys, when I watch a movie, I want to rol…

My son sat through the whole Episode IV on the phone and he enjoyed it ;-). Ok, he is a child, a big Star Wars fan, running around the house with his Darth Vader mask... Sure, the…

Sound like way too much work to get a movie onto your phone...

Yes, the bad part is, that you can't do it with a batch job (Automator anyone?), because someone has to change the DVDs. For one movie it's a simple two-step process, which takes a…

Just ask for their portfolio - then ask their former clients.

Check the meta tags. If you see the words 'frontpage' or 'microsoft word' anywhere, start running

Ask them for 3 URLs of recent work, then post them here. You won't get a more honest appraisal of a web development company's work than from the folk here, me included

If they're "The Biggest Web Design Company On The Planet," how come this is the first I've heard of them? And $45 for a web site? Jeez, I can almost smell the quality from here..…

Any suggestions then for a company I can use?

Why not post the spec/budget here and see if anyone is interested. All the regulars here are talented and legit. well most of em anyway

If you are on a low budget, and a cookie-cutter website is all you need, I'd suggest something like Yahoo's website services. Not only are their templates OK, but they also now of…
