Low-Tech Camera Uses No-Tech Gravity to Drop Viewers Into the Pool
High-tech televisual bells and whistles have carried couch-based Olympic watching way beyond the mere reality of being here. Thousands of cameras are catching the action in China -- every one of them high-definition. Yet for a feat of engineering magic that dazzles as it baffles, nothing beats the DiveCam.
On TV, a diver walks out onto a platform. The camera fixes on him. He waits. He leaps. And then -- somehow -- the camera stays with him as he plunges. In the instant it takes him to break the water's surface, the picture suddenly cuts to an underwater shot -- and we watch in disbelief as the dive culminates in a burst of bubbles.

8 Opening Ceremonies Moments That Made Me Crap My Pants
During the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Opening Ceremonies, we witnessed the sheer power and brilliance of what it looks like when thousands of individuals come together for one purpose: to blow your f*cking mind. Throughout the event, I felt a mix of wonder, awe, surprise, joy, inadequacy, terror, and self-hatred - in other words, I was either whispering through tears “It’s just so…beautiful!” or I was sh*tting my pants.

NBC responds to Olympic fakery accusations
The glow of NBC's Olympic ratings victory threatens to be sullied this morning by reports that the Beijing Olympic Committee and the network have been less-than-scrupulous in their presentation of the Summer Games.
Organizers are accused of mixing in fake CGI fireworks during Friday night's opening ceremony, while NBC is said to have added a bogus "Live" stamp to tape-delayed West Coast feed of competition coverage this weekend, and edited the "parade of nations" segment of the opening ceremony to delay the entrance of the U.S. Olympic Team.

Olympic Fireworks Faked For TV
The global television audience of more than three billion people watched in amazement as a series of giant footprints outlined in fireworks proceeded through the night sky from Tiananmen Square to the Bird's Nest stadium - except they were watching a computer animation.
Even the giant television screens within the stadium itself broadcast the fake images.
Stunned viewers thought they were watching the string of fireworks filmed from above by a helicopter.

TV-Mitarbeiter gesteht Manipulation von Live-Bildern
Die Eröffnungsfeier der Olympischen Spiele hat bewiesen: Kaum eine Nation kann mit Feuerwerkskörpern so imposante Spektakel inszenieren wie China. Doch jetzt hat ein Mitarbeiter des Künstlerteams zugegeben, dass ein Teil der Live-Farbspiele im Fernsehen manipuliert wurde.
Imagepolitur mit opulenter Megashow: Mit einem nie dagewesenen Spektakel verblüffte die Pekinger Olympia-Eröffnungsfeier am Freitag Fernsehzuschauer und Kritiker. "Fantastisch - zu fantastisch" fand das die italienische Tageszeitung "La Repubblica", und der britische "Independent" bekannte: "Es ist schwer, wenn nicht unmöglich zu bestreiten: Das war die größte Show, die die Welt je gesehen hat."

FakeTV — 'Makes it look like you are home watching TV, even when you are not'
FakeTV — Dynamic and Convincing Occupancy Simulation
FakeTV accurately simulates the light output of a real television.
The effects of scene changes, fades, swells, flicks, on-screen motion and color changes look just they came from a real TV.
A potential burglar thinks the home must be occupied so he moves on to an easier target.
From outside the house it looks like someone is watching TV.

Unplug The Drug - How to stay very, very dumb
It's a fact: TV sitcoms destroy your brain. But what else can you do with all that unused mental power?
It's one of the most powerful and disorienting and disturbing feelings I've ever known and perhaps the very best reason I can think of that I now watch very little mainstream TV, much less sitcoms, much less those howlingly soul-deadening laugh-tracked things featuring Kelsey Grammar or Charlie Sheen or maybe that enormous guy from "Everybody Loves Raymond," shows that make your soul curdle like fresh soy milk in the sun. It's also the sole reason I've trained myself to instantly mute all TV commercials when they appear and turn my gaze from their grisly carnage lest their death lasers of hyperbranded idiocy penetrate my flesh and make me impotent and encephalitic and Republican.
