burglar kindly provided a clear image of his face during the robbery. A house burglar was caught after the theft of the computer running the webcam. I had a similar incidence with the early livecam back in 1996 at the cyberjava internet cafe in Venice Beach, CA. A lap top was capturing images an ftping them onto a web site, the laptop vanished, and the last photo it took was the guy down the street leaning over unhooking it. We were luck because we never kept the old images, just kept overwritting the same image over and over.

UPN has announced that they are canceling Enterprise. It only had 25 Million Viewers!!! By Internet standards, we should only be so lucky. Several groups of fans are comming to gether to try to privately continue the series New P2P , IPTV VOD technology can be used to distribute commercial based TV content at much lower cost. I believe there is enough demand and revenue to pay for production costs of new show even. See a page I am starting for this, Save Star Trek Enterprise
Update
From Earlier
What McDonald’s has missed here is subtle yet obvious. For years they have saved millions of people time and effort by passing food orders through a window in the side of their restaurants. The ubiquitous drive-thru window has spread from banks to restaurants to pharmacies and even liquor stores. So much so that Americans now wish to do as much as possible from the driver’s seat of their vehicles. The RedBox failed because, while it offered 24/7 access, people had to get out of their vehicles to use them. Given this configuration people would decide that stopping, parking getting out making the purchase and then getting back in their vehicle was too much hassle.

American Entertainment Distributors was running infomericials and Sending Junk Faxes to market a DVD Rental Machine. They used to be a AED1.com but the site is now down.
From what I can see, it looks like they were shut down by the Federal Trade Commission.
Stay away from AED. They are a ripoff
American Entertainment Distributors, Inc.
There were selling Rental Machines from 2 italian companies V & L and Riello. I actulay visited the Riello - Technoware factory in Verona Italy late last year along with several other companies that make DVD Rental Machines there.
They make a decent system, although it's not the best one that I came across. The Riello was actualy musical when it's stepper motors moved. If anyone need technical support, for maintaining these machine or aquiring new ones, please contact me.
