  2. VideoDisc: от провала до революционного SCM-микроскопа

    В 70–80-е годы развернулась настоящая «битва видеоносителей»: Betamax, VHD (Video High Density), LaserDisc и VHS. Победителем, как известно, стал последний. Но в этой гонке участвовал и американский гигант Radio Corporation of America — со своим форматом CED (Capacitance Electronic Disc), также известным как VideoDisc. Проект обошёлся компании почти в 500 миллионов долларов и закончился крахом: в 1987 году RCA прекратила существование. Казалось бы, точка. Но одна из технологий, созданных для CED, неожиданно обрела вторую жизнь — и привела к появлению сканирующего ёмкостного микроскопа.

  6. At one of my local thrift stores. On one hand, it would be helpful to spare my actual VCRs a little mechanical wear and tear. On the other hand, $7 seems a bit high. And on yet a third hand, I should hold out for one of the novelty sports car ones.

  18. 📺Am 07. Juni findet nostalgisch der Tag des Videorekorders statt. Am 07.06.1975, wurde auf der Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Chicago der erste serienreife #Videorecorder von Sony vorgestellt wurde. Wer noch einen hat, hat vielleicht ungeahnte Schätze. Auf den Kassetten lauern gerne ungewollte Aufnahmen, wie zB. alte Werbung etc. Zum Thema beim #wdr :

    It was shaping up to be a VHS vs. Betamax type of battle (or Android vs. Apple), & #Gogoro was Betamax (or Apple). A week after the #Ionex was announced, Gogoro announced a plug-in home charger. As the Ionex gets closer to being released, Gogoro is scrambling to make deals. But, they're still not trustworthy yet because we don't know how controlling they are with their licensing. We need 2 battery standards to keep both of them honest. #MonopoliesSuck
