No...

Sick just in time to visit my family for the holidays.....

This seems to happen 50% of the time.

I used to think blue laws were stupid, then I got stuck working Sundays.

I am severely disappointed with logitech gamepad f710, initially it was the bad wireless reception and the uncomfortable triggers, and now after a couple of years of use the rubber plastic of the left analog thumbstick got rubbed off, became thinner and thinner and eventually got ripped from the thumbstick, now there is just a piece of ugly plastic left in it's place. I even have a logitech mouse that it's rubber got thinner and thinner after years of use and got destroyed too reaching the hard plastic.

My G500 mouse is doing the same thing. It should be completely worn down within a year. The plastic underneath isn't that bad though. Despite the fact that I hate this coating that they seem to use on every product I still swear by logitech products as I have never managed to find another mouse that feels as fluid no matter how good the specs look on paper.

Why are people so stupid?

Actually, ED2, Ultra HD TVs can be both 4K and 8K.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_high_definition_television

"4K UHDTV (2160p) is 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels tall (8.3megapixels), which is four times as many pixels as 1920 × 1080".


"8K UHDTV (4320p) is 7680 pixels wide by 4320 pixels tall (33.2 megapixels), which is sixteen times as many pixels as current 1080p HDTV". (Wikipedia).


They indeed made a mistake or simply didn´t explin that very well.

Hmm, let me rephrase that: Why am I so stupid?

Well looks like I've found my new years resolution.

Actually, the amount of people posting 'I've decided on my new year's resolution and it's 1080p' to facebook is really annoying, especially when I know they've all friended each other, so they all saw it on someone else's wall first and didn't give credit.

You're not. While 4K is indeed approximately 4 times the resolution of 1080p that's not why it's called 4K. It's called 4K because it's roughly 4,000 pixels wide. The K in this case is short for "kilo", the metric prefix for thousand. So the sentence you quoted is still wrong.

The entire thing is stupid since we went from referring to resolutions by height and width to just height and now just width. 1080p and 2K for example both refer to the same resolution because 1080 refers to the height and 2K refers to the width. Why they decided to start calling 2160p 4K I have no idea. They just randomly switched to listing resolutions by height to listing them by width. I guess maybe because 4K sounds bigger?

And 2.5K is also considered to be UHD. Although it's unclear at this point whether it will make its way to HDTVs. The same goes for 8K. 4K is going to be the standard for UHD.
