Two words: OSCAR BOUND. From director Clint Eastwood, 'Invictus' tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africas rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africas underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match. The poem 'INVICTUS' by William Ernest Henley, from which Nelson Mandela drew strength while in prison. Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

The improved 1080p video at a smooth 30 frames per second will please even the most demanding videophiles, as will the amazing color rendition, excellent exposure, and great contrast. The variety of video modes provided allows the consumer to capture video at frame sizes and rates to fit their needs. The 720p (1280 x 720) @ 60 fps is an absolute dream to watch when played back in slow motion! It features four HD settings (1080p, 960p, and two at 720p) with two frame rates (30fps and 60fps) and four configurable settings (metering, contrast, exposure, and microphone sensitivity). But most importantly, the ContourHD software will share your adventures in Lifelike 1080p video to VholdR.com. The all new image censor and video processing chipset focuses on motion and color so that the watcher has a like-like experience during viewing. The resulting HD footage is a true pleasure to watch whether it s in it s native video state  or viewed online at VholdR.com.  Another new addition to the mix is the abiltity to adjust Contrast levels, Light Metering, Exposure and Microphone  Sensitivity. The settings can be easily adjusted when the ContourHD 1080p is connected to your PC or MAC via the USB cable using the included Easy Edit software. In addition to powerful video settings and enhanced color saturation, the ContourHD1080p is also equipped with a 135-degree fisheye lens to record the entire scene without over-distorting the video. The overall video quality in the ContourHD 1080p has AGAIN improved significantly. So that users have a wealth of video to choose from, the ContourHD has an internal microSD memory card that easily stores up to eight hours of HD footage and is compatible with up to 16GB memory cards. The ContourHD1080p also features an upgraded microphone that records all of the action, without the wind noise due to its ability to adjust the microphone sensitivity. VholdR not only designed the ContourHD1080p to capture exceptional quality video, they also designed the camcorder for ease of use. The camera features a single, oversized record button, which you can slide forward to begin recording and slide back to stop. A rotating 192-degree lens and two lasers help users accurately align shots. Users simply rotate the lens until the lasers are lined up horizontally. Capture HD video anywhere and from any angle with this versatile camcorder. The ContourHD1080p is compatible with VholdR s TRailTM Mounts, which provide a variety of options, including mounts for goggles, handlebars, helmets, and vehicles. Included with the camera are the helmet mount and goggle strap mount. The helmet mount is super versatile and can be attached to most helmets and hard surfaces. The goggle strap mount provides cool point of view and is very convienent to use. With all of these features, users might expect a delicate or cumbersome camcorder. However, the revolutionary Contour HD is light (4oz, 116g), compact, and durable. The camcorder s water-resistant body is made of anodized aluminum and rigorously tested to withstand dirt, dust, mud, and snow. Additionally, the ContourHD1080p is impact, shock, and vibration resistant, and the all-in-one design of the Contour HD means that users don t have to fumble with multiple wires. The audio has also been greatly improved on this model. Wind noise is minimal and you can hear most ambient sounds. For those of you ninjas hoping to record without making a sound, you re in luck.

This handy little device can charge your ContourHD1080p off of any 12 volt power source while recording. Paired with an 8 or 16 GB card, you could record some serious footage! The ContourHD1080p makes it as easy to share videos as it does to record them. Thanks to VholdR s Easy EditTM software (PC and Mac compatible) users can easily edit, upload, and share their videos with friends, family, and the world. Cons The VholdR Contour HD wearable camcorder is equipped with numerous features and upgrades to ensure that outdoor enthusiasts and adventure-seekers capture the best footage in HD. However, there are some limitations. As with most camcorders, battery life is an issue; the ContourHD1080p is no exception. The largercamcorder features a rechargeable lithium ion battery and testing revealed that the Contour HD only had approximately two hours of battery life. To avoid missing any shot, backup batteries are a great idea. While the ability to capture 60 frames per second is exciting, it isn t particularly useful for distributing video footage because YouTube and DVDs do not support 60 frames per second. VholdR s video sharing portal will support 60 frames per second. For those not using of VholdR s sharing portal, a potential solution is to stretch out sections of the video to 30 frames per second resulting in super smooth slow mo.

GOOGLE is using April 1st to roll out a number of exciting new initiatives. The company has unveiled a joint venture with Virgin called Virgle, the first human settlement on Mars. Users can sign up online to be a Virgle pioneer. Gmail users received a useful Custom Time upgrade today, allowing them to send email yesterday. And, lastly, all Featured Videos on YouTube.com now redirect users to Rick Astley s hit song Never Gonna Give You Up, complete with 80 s dance moves and a stylish trench coat. Enjoy. COMCAST is facing an increasing online backlash for re-compressing HD channels so that it can increase its channel offerings. Users began noticing degraded HD quality and posted screenshots in forums comparing the Comcast images with Verizon s FiOS HD images. Comcast s HD showed increased pixillation and distortion. A company spokesperson confirmed the practice, saying Compression is a reality. Perhaps, but this is certainly a poor time for a cable company to offer lower video quality than a telco TV service. SONY has launched C-Spot, a new online comedy channel. C-Spot features short-form comedies, including Hot Hot Los Angeles and The Roadents, an animated show about traveling guinea pigs. Actor Kevin Pollack will be featured in a C-Spot series called The Writer s Room, a look behind the scenes of a sitcom. New episodes will be posted on a daily schedule and distributed trough AOL Video, Hulu, YouTube, Crackle and more. FACEBOOK is getting sued for using TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington s image and name alongside its profile advertisements. Arrington s likeness has been paired with ads for Blockbuster and the movie Jackass after he added related applications to his profile. In a blog post, Arrington said he is willing to settle for $25 million in Facebook stock. The high-profile suit will be another test of Facebook s advertising system and a lesson in the challenge of monetizing user-generated and social-networking sites. In related news, Facebook will begin running ads for CareerBuilder that target recent college grads. NICKELODEON is seeing increased online traffic due to iCarly, a network show that incorporates user-generated material. The show now accounts for a staggering 20% of all visitors to Nick.com. iCarly urges viewers to visit Nick.com to upload their own videos, offering them the chance to be seen on TV. This clearly works. NIELSEN reports that Internet ad spending jumped 18.9% in 2007, while all ad spending combined only increased .6%. National cable ads were up 2.2% but network TV fell 1.5%.
