Apple have just released the Serenity trailer in H.264 format. You’ll need QuickTime 7 to play it well (sorry Windows/Linux users, I can’t find any player that can handle H.264 properly). H.264 is the official format of the next generation of high-definition DVD, so the quality is amazing. The Serenity trailer is here, and you [...]

Thanks to Scamp for this link. I dunno how he knew I was a Romero fan, but there you go. I was watching the Dawn CE and listening to Romero’s commentary track, and he mentioned having real problems finding the funds to shoot his new script – I think the amount he was after to [...]

Recently Dave Hyatt took on the challenge to render the deeply evil Acid2 CSS stress test correctly, which no browser currently achieves.
