Back from Vegas Baby!!!

Well it was that time of year for me to take ContentAgent to the NAB trade show to Las Vegas. A great show was had by all and great to see some old and new customers alike. We introduced Blu-ray authoring for ContentAgent which was received well by customers and we also launch two new products ContentCentral which provides management and automation for distributed media file transcoding and JobAgent which provides file based render services to offload high volume encoding tasks. Click on the image below to see some of the photos from the event.

Or if you wonder what to do while waiting for the boxes for your trade show equipment to arrive, Nick shows what testing can be done to amuse yourself.

Cesar



Some time ago Mr Dog changed its name to Cesar and you can click on the video above to listen to Eddie Izzard explain the change.

Recently they have produced a new Cesar advert with a young lady and the small scottie dog hangging around in the rain looking like they are only friends, its been playing on most of the channels and I've got to say its one of the most annoying and patronizing adverts on TV. With its twee sound track and moody overtones. It makes you want to pop the dog in the canal and wrap the dog lead around neck. Not that I'm advocating killing of scottie dog owners much more the killing of the advertising executive that came up with the ad.

If this wasn't the ONION then I'd be worried I bet this is an advertising exec wet dream...Advertising Firm Unveils New Mute-Resistant Commercials
