Watch 4 Minutes of the Opening of Bolt

Disney has released a new clip from the new computer animated movie Bolt. The almost 4 minute clip is from the film’s opening sequence.

In the movie, Bolt is a dog who is the star of an action television series which is part Lassie, part Mission: Impossible, but with the high octane direction of someone like Michael Bay. But Bolt doesn’t know he’s a television star, and instead thinks he is a dog infused with super abilities (the plot of the tv show). To get a real performance out of the dog, they stage the stunts and sequences with hidden cameras so that Bolt believes they’re real. This chase sequence shows you what Bolt’s television show is like. I’ve seen this clip four times at various different press events (this sometimes happens), but I can assure you that it’s 100 times cooler when experienced in Disney Digital 3D.

Watch the clip in High Definition on Apple.com. Bolt hits theaters on November 21st 2008.

G1 criticat inainte de lansare

Primul mobil Google Android a primit cateva critici chiar inainte de lansarea oficiala de saptamana viitoare.

Parerile celor mai multi se impart in doua tabere: una sustine ideea ca G1 este un competitor puternic pentru iPone, in timp ce altii considera ca este o copie nereusita a lui iPhone si sunt dezamagiti de noul smartphone.

Una dintre nemultumirile celor din a doua categorie este data de faptul ca G1 este axat pe Google si fie te forteaza sa adopti produsele Google, fie nu este telefonul potrivit. Intr-adevar, G1 vine pregatit pentru Google Maps Street View, Gmail, Google Calendar si YouTube printre alte facilitati marca Google.

Telefonul limiteaza transferul de informatii la datele inscrise intr-un cont Google, tinand cont de faptul ca nu se poate face clasicul transfer intre PC si G1.

Un alt mare defect al lui G1 este lipsa caracteristicilor necesare pentru partea video. Cu siguranta acesta este un urias dezavantaj in fata lui iPhone si, in general, pe o piata care se considera a fi canalizata pe telefoane mobile capabile de redare/ inregistrare video. In versiunea originala, G1 nu are playback video.
