Wow! I wish I had a good video camera and a cat! Unfortunatley I have neither but this will be fun to watch as the results come in.

Is this contest still going on?

Oh my gosh! I forgot all about this! I hope it's not too late. 50 bucks is 50 bucks. :)

Even Chandler couldn't distract the kitten for long.

When I just now returned to my computer, Whiskers was sitting in my chair with her attention focus on the screen where the aquarium was running.

I tried emailing the official tech support, but the email that was on the contest page isn't working. Is it officially still going?

Nice one Patrick. Wonder if an older cat could be fooled ;)

EDIT: Saw other vids with old cats, apparently any cat
can be fooled...

That happened to me too. Don't fret. Someone from Prolific will see this and get back to us reasonably soon.

The email should be working now.
I don't know the status of the contest.
It was meant to be catlovers at prolific com, so both catlover and catlovers should work.

Thanks Edgar.

Hey fred, the contest is still going on!

Sorry about that :)

Ha, ha - I've never seen a cat more disinterested in the Aquarium.

I never really liked that cat anyways, hes really fat and only knows how to eat and bite people. :p Also, the conterst only stated that it had to be a cat and the screensaver, people just assumed that the cat had to be interested.

Hmmm, I'll have to re-word the rules.

I think I read once that not all cats can see a television/monitor screen due to some genetic differences. If I remember correctly cats that see the screen have or lack a rod or something. I know, my information is vague. I’ll see if I can find it on the web but I am sure it was in a book.

Apparently they prefer HDTV, Marian. :D

..... It's surprising what you can learn through visiting this fish forum! :)

Ah, so that cat is just waiting for the hi-def background of MA3.

:lol:

That last post of this article is really interesting:
Is it true? Is it all illusion?
Unfortunately, here in Germany, HDTV is almost not available. There are even a lot of channels sending in 4:3, rather than 16:9! Way to go...

btw, I take anything Philip Swann posts with a large grain of salt.

We are not receiving what is now being termed here in the UK as 'Full-HD'. But I agree with YT that some of the human animals have not benefitted from the clarity that we now get on our new 16:9 LCD tv when receiving the digital 16:9 versions of the normal channels. - I noticed that Sue Barker in Question of Sport, now appears to be in 'soft focus', or has had a lot of attention to 'crack-filling'. :D - I think she is first class at her job, but the HDTV that we get does her no favours!

Well, at least it doesn't apply to rats.
They look fine in HD! :D

Ummm.... me thinks...... then why would I want this? Would you spoil my illusions? :TD:

It's a bit like Broadband, then, without actually being, well, Broadband? ;) ;)

:lol: @ Ed.

Sci-Fi in HD?!?
 

Seriously? Comcast has the Sci-Fi channel in HD?!? This is a pretty new development correct? I've thought that it seemed particularly ironic that of all the channels out there, Sci-Fi was not HD. Though you can watch previous seasons of BSG in HD on Universal HD (I think). Ed, if this is so, I'm going to geek-out in a very big way! And that's nothing when compared to my wife, who is an even bigger sci-fi fan than I am.

:D

Sounds like there might be a Stargate Fan in there somewhere. I've got 12 days to go until The Arc of Truth. :)

Really? My SciFi isn't HD. :( My favorite HD channels are National Geographic, Discovery, History, and another one called Discovery Theater. Oh and HGTV. :D I wish the Science channel was in HD, they have great shows. Well if I'm gonna wish that, then I'd wish all channels were in HD!

I have these channels in High Definition on DirecTV (the current industry HD leader):

Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, National Geographic, Biography Channel, History Channel, Science Channel, A&E, BET, TNT, TBS, USA, Spike, Bravo, Sci-Fi, FX, MGM, Nickelodeon, Disney, Food Network, Cartoon Network, The Weather Channel, CNN, CNBC, ESPN, Country Music Television, MTV, Golf, HGTV, Universal HD, HDNet Movies, etc.

Not to mention the ~25 HD sports channels and HBO, Showtime, Movie Channel, Starz, etc. premium movie channels.

Sadly, I have AT&T (the current industry HD loser):

No Sci-Fi in HD for me! :sad:

I am SO jealous!

Weird cuz I too have Comcast and don't have nearly as much.
