Talk:PositiveID

message: I did some cursory sleuthing online and couldn't find much about VeriChip. The listed Nasdaq and NYSE symbols were invalid on the respective sites.
https://www.marketocracy.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Portfolio.woa/ps/StockActionsPage/source=NcDoAoCbDjAkGiLoMaKiAbBg
This site indicates that the Nasdaq symbol changed from ADSX to DIGA, and searching for "Nasdaq:ADSX" in Google Finance does turn up the DIGA symbol.
I believe this company may have been bought by or changed its name to "Digital Angel."

My guess is that it is currently headquartered in North Carolina but was started in Mountain View California, but that's just a guess.

Talk:VCamNow

message: I just bought the v2.0, and I thought I'd add some details. The v2.0 makes 320x240 pixel AVI video files, with MJPEG (Motion JPEG including Huffman Tables) image and ADPCM (Intel DVI-ADPCM 32kbps 8kHz mono) audio, at 10 frames per second, with a variable data rate ranging from appr. 300 to 1000kbps. The still images are 640x480, 1600x1200 or 2048x1536 pixel JPEG files. The larger resolutions are interpolated (I think the sensor is 640x480, but I'm not sure). It has a digital zoom function (x2) but no optical zoom. It has no manual or auto-focus, the focus seems to be fixed around 2 to 5m or so. It has no Flash. It has an USB connector and an A/V output (composite video, PAL/NTSC switchable). It has 32MB of internal memory (which stores appr. 7 minutes of video), expandable up to 1GB with standard SD cards. It runs on 2 AA batteries.
After having used it quite a bit, I can add that the video quality is ok for children, but it's not as good as what you'd get from an entry-level compact photo camera with video function. The still image mode, though useful, suffers from slow reaction speed. I was able to import and edit the video files in Windows Movie Maker 2 without any problems. Overall I'd say it's great fun for kids up to age of 12 or so; teenagers may be disappointed by the results.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.118.60.119 (talk) 03:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Usborne Publishing

message: I've added a text box at the top to bring this into line with other businesses and start the clean up. I've also removed a bunch of unsourced statements and weasel words and paragraphs written like advertisments. It looks like this page was mostly put together by people from the company (franchise or otherwise) so it has a lot of sales puff and unencyclopedic adjectives ("most", "many", "best" etc). The reason I've cluttered up the text with some many citation requests (rather than just deleting the sections outright which is what I probably should have done) is to give these people a chance to put some proper sources together for them. I've left stuff up that's verifiable and if you work for the company you should be able to back these claims up. I'm being kind because I like the products of this company, they've been reasonable about their contributions in the past and I feel they should get another crack at it before someone stricter than me turns up and just deletes everything.
On another note, if you're going to expand on anything, maybe some info on the history of the company's development would be more useful than any more lists of writers and titles! Silverwood (talk) 14:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:University Recording Company

message: This is straight down my alley of expertise.  I've been collecting and researching 78rpm records such as this for... decades.  This is one of the most obscure labels I've run across.  Or as the case may be, not run across, as I've never seen a physical example in all these years.  There's precious little available about it.  There's a little blurb here and here, and what is interesting is that this *may* be the first record company to attempt a sales-through-mail as their sole distribution.  This indicates that they signed Red Nichols, but I'll bet the obscure Ginger Snaps and "Teen-Agers Orchestra" would draw more collector/researcher interest.  That's really all I can find on it, including some rather obscure resources I have access to.  There's probably some in-depth coverage at , but I don't have this book.  It is a reliable source.
