Angel Munoz - My CNN Experience

Posted by Blitz at 17:09 15/12/2001.

Angel Munoz, CPL founder, has written up what he calls 'My CNN Experience' over in the CPL Forums. It's a massive read, and I found it pretty interesting. Obviously he talks about when he was interviewed by major news channel, CNN ( you can find the CNN interview here):

"A monitor was facing me and like some weird reversed English-dubbed Japanese movie, I could hear them speak before they moved their lips. I stopped smiling. "It's latency" they tell me, and go through a step-by-step technical explanation of why this happens and how it is even worse with HDTV. This proved to be too much of a distraction and seconds before the interview, I asked them to turn the monitor completely around so that I could concentrate on the interviewer's voice only. They quickly complied, I guess noticing the urgency in my eyes."

	alpha Da boss Inspired Gaming 21:15 15/12/2001	It is a signup option, but I've modified your account so that your sessions will be persistant in future. Should take effect after you next login. Both of the other features you suggested are planned for the future. Can we keep the news comments on-topic - there's a feedback form linked at the bottom of the page for site feedback like this :).
