Hmm. I may or may not be one of the people who borrowed the 2008 Opening Ceremony from the internets.

But if I did, at least I watched it on TV, too. On NHK in Tokyo

And they do above HD broadcasts (over 1080p) not no sissy 720p, NBC!

Either way, it's futile. I don't know why these companies haven't figured that out yet.

Well, I would hope now they would sell it on iTunes. If they don't it's their own fault.

Yes (however no plugins), and yes. I'm going to send you a PM with regards to your other question in the other thread.

Just click on the "Private Messages" link up top.

And by no plugins, I mean, no electricity to plug your laptop in to.

A photo of what appears to be a gate into LiveCity Yaletown: http://www.flickr.com/photos/uncle_buddha/4342420779/sizes/l/in/set-72157623060561909/

Looks like it will be a party.

I actually went to the first dress rehearsal for the Olympic opening ceremonies today. You'll all love it, it was incredible, and I only saw some of it. Can't say anymore

I saw some laser projection testing on the Sears building. Looked pretty cool. The light was also bouncing off of Shangri La and other towers downtown. Robson square sure is lighting central. Looks so cool. (Permanent please!!)
