FindMyCover.com is a "service" I recently stumbled upon that tackles a problem I'd been trying to solve. It automatically goes out and gets CD covers (from Amazon) so you can put them in your iTunes. I'd been working on a similar project, and had achieved the same results, however wanted to elaborate on it and make it an automated program that would instantly find which covers you were missing and search for those specifically. I created such a service, but it was limited by browser constraints. I'm now inspired to pick it back up, so I'll post any further progress.

From this article:
Sadly, this is sort of exciting to me...
"The new color capabilities of the LED models reverse a half-century trend, with TVs now exceeding the capabilities of the broadcast system and requiring the latter to catch up. In Vegas, Sony got around the problem by showing on its 82-inch LCD special video clips that provide a wider color gamut, including a copy of Spiderman 2 that was re-scanned from the original film print in order to capture a fuller palette. For the long term, Sony is pushing for a new color standard -- known by the ungainly acronym XVYCC -- to pump up the colors captured by video cameras and broadcast to TVs."
