10th Anniversary of Quicktime
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 have a website. It's about Macs.
Didn't you guys post about this last week?
If you want to be seen, stand up. If you want to be heard, speak up. If you want to be respected, sit down and shut up.
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.

"They suck off the open source community like a black hole using BSD code in OS X but won't give back by opening up the source to QuickTime. Fuck them--they're leeches."
they are artistically inclined leeches hence the "attractive" computer cases
But quick time was not quick enough! ill go and kiss a penguin instead!
Hi. I'm Brian Eno. I'm one of the music industry's most overhyped, overcredited and overrated "producer".
Back when I invented ambient eletronic music, I....err..wait, Raymond Scott was doing that in the 50's..Ok, nix that, so what if I didn't invent ambient. I'm real good at "pioneering" new technologicies like the Moog, a device that....er, wait.. Bob Moog designed them, not me. Oh, whatever. I have industry connections!! I discovered Devo! Back when I...uhhh, wait a minute, Devo had been around for like 8 years before I...umm..I'm an important guy. Really. Hey, I know Giorgio Moroder!! That's gotta count for something!
Got any peanuts? I'm hungry.

Thank you.
