Open Source VLC Media Player Coming To iPad

Stoobalou writes "The people behind VLC, quite probably the most useful media player available right now, have submitted an iPod version to the Apple software police. VLC — which is rightfully famous for having a go at playing just about any kind of audio or video file you care to throw at it — should appear some time next week, if it makes it through the often unfathomable approval process implemented by Apple. The Open Source Video Lan Client has been tweaked to run on the iPod by software developer Applidium."

More Bias Please

[whisper_jeff]

Could we please try to insert more anti-Apple bias in our article summaries please. I find Slashdot entirely too soft on Apple lately and would like to see it come to an end. We need to be harsher against them, dammit! Rather than "...have submitted an iPod version to the Apple software police" could we please instead use "...have submitted an iPod version to the Apple software Nazis." I mean, if we're going to broadcast an overwhelming bias against Apple in the article summaries (as opposed to just keeping them to the comments - I mean, who bothers to read the comments, after all), we might as well Godwin it at the same time, right?

sigh...

Agree 100%. The groupthink in Apple articles is getting way out of hand with what basically amount to anti Apple flames routinely modded up to +5 insightful and the attitude starts with this kind of bullshit in the summary. I can deal with the bad jokes but not the misinformation as with the digs here. Several xvid players are already in the iPad AppStore but hey let's not let the facts get in the way of a lame story.
