Wow, the first Lenovo commercial I’ve seen yet… sorry, but it’s not a Thinkpad…

• I wish I could be a cameraman covering this event… how awesome was the petticoat shot just when Bob Costas talked about costumes!
• A 500 foot LED display… how many pixels, and how much $$$ is that?
• Every single woman performing is simply stunning. I guess when you have over 500 million available, you can be choosy.
• It’s interesting, watching NBC’s bumpers with the “classic” Olympic theme song seem dated compared to the actual event.
• Thanks for the IMs. In regards to my previous post about ATSC, I meant that I need to get my ATSC tuner working in my big Vista MCE server so I can record all of the prime-time HD coverage on NBC.
• OMG, look at the LED costumes… it reminds me of the Main Street Electrical Parade.
• Hmm. I wonder how the lights are controlled… per person, or as part of a larger procedure?
• It looks like from a closeup shot that each performer has some kind of control module attached just above the waist.
