Digiwood: Morgan Freeman and Intel, Together At Last

Morgan Freeman is providing his traditional folk wisdom to yet another white guy, but this time it’s Intel CEO Paul Otellini. Why has it taken so long for someone to figure out how sell/stream films online? Argh.

Wait, wait, they’ve built a “model digital home” in LA? This is like Microsoft telling people that for Longhorn that they’re going to need 2 GHz and half a gig of VRAM just to run the GUI.

Revelations and Intel have been working together since the beginning of the year, creating a model digital home in Los Angeles stocked with the latest in advanced digital home entertainment devices aimed at educating studio executives about the promise of the technology.

So we’ve got a company, but no films?

The venture is not yet announcing any studio content that will be available through the service, but participants said other studios have been receptive to the idea in early discussions.

Smells like vaporware to me.
