10th Anniversary of Quicktime

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-think-about dept.

An anonymous reader submitted a story about the 10th anniversary of QuickTime which might not seem like such a big deal unless you set your mental wayback machine to 1991 and remember what we didn't have back then. Bits from Brian Eno and others. Worth reading.

    Why not just Mpg so everyone can see it?

    I remember back in 1991 when I didn't play "computer games". I played "Video games". I also didn't "Surf the web". I "bbsed". Back then things were more simple. ASCII art, a time when Microsoft wasn't evil, no obscure linux-related jokes, hell, no linux. That was when i played outside too, climbed trees, and didn't have a job (because i was 11).

    Now look at us. I'm sitting here, reading news on a website named after some punctuation, and worrying about if i can talk about the newest Microsoft internet explorer to my boss, or risk being fired, and turned to the police because i know too much.

    Just today, Apple's lawyers got a response... Several Websites have also picked up the story and there have been mirrors established.

    The term "slashfools" is flamebait. Please, use the proper terminology: "slashdorks"

    Thank you.

    There are many more interesting things that began in 1991 than some proprietary format (its quality mostly sucks anyway).
    • id Software
    • Linux
    • ... um, The Web, or something :)
