Why would they buy this company when they already own singingfish.com ? I will have to do some research but maybe someone else knows?
Singingfish is was a Seattle based video search and image search company which was picked up by AOL. Kind of weird that they would be two of the same type of company.
Capture one is a good application, but it was hardly designed with the high-end photo workflow model in mind I think. It was a very good app that the company was using for its high end cameras.
As the need for such an app became clear, they quickly rushed this to market it seems. Compared to a program like Aperture, it's clear that there is a new generation of photography workflow tool coming into its own.
It seems funny to say that Capture One is the end-all-be-all of photography workflow.
Also, one more thing before I go back to the slugs...
It would have been nice to mention the Electronic Frontier Foundation and how much they deserve YOUR support (as well as mine... and everyone elses.) For it is through the EFF that we have even the slightest hope of regaining some sanity in the digital world.
programmer Zi Mei has slammed the investigation on which the 'ex parte'
No.... actually, progammer Zi Mei's LAYWER has slammed the investigation. Unless he's a lawyer and a programmer of course, in which case it should say "programmer and lawyer..." But I digress.
What I'm trying to say is, I'm no fan of laywers, but let's give them a little credit here and say that they've come up with a good way to defend this Mei guy. If anything Mei can afford a good lawyer, yay!
...........Anyway... back to digging for slugs....
Interesting, but ruining a source of revenue...

Marfa Lights Explained
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
So, it's like an episode of Scooby-Doo basically, everyone knows the lights are cars but the local area has used it as sort of fun way of attracting tourists and they even have a festival around the event. See http://www.qsl.net/w5www/marfa.html . So, it's kind of sad that these students went to this amount of trouble to explain away the lights.
I think it's interesting that the local legend has it that the lights have been there before cars and that you hear a tuning fork sound in one ear. Obviously these little details have been added to add the little bit of doubt to keep the charade going and to draw some more money into town.
It's a fun thing... let it go, as I'm sure the people down there will not be accepting of even a scientific study like this.
Well, it used to be that a request of http://xxx/ would fill in the.com and take you there. Users do type garbage, but it seems like this particular choice of behaviour is a uniquie one that the firefox designers made.
Actually, I'm glad I know about this, because I sometimes tell less computer savvy people to just type in xxxxx and skip the.com to make it easier on them and myself.
Every store I've been in is completely sold out. Are you saying that you took it back to the store you bought it and they just had another one about and they just took yours and gave another one? Where where where?
And if they are in such abundant supply, how come they're going for 3x list on Ebay (minimum?
In the press conference, Rob literally said "We will be releasing Rhapsody to Mac and Linux in the web browser." My mouth about hit the table.
If Real does release that (and it works..which are two big IFs) then they will be the first subscription music service on the Mac. They might actually gain some street cred with the linux/mac crowd and some more mind share of subscription service.
I was in London last year for a couple of weeks and stumbled into a Virgin store or some mega-chain thing whatever it was. Anyway, lo-and-behold I stumbled on a gold mine of BBC classics on DVD, from Sci Fi to John Clease on Monty Python and Fawlty Towers and various other shows I was interested in. I was jazzed I picked up a basket and started shopping, I was ready to plunk down a huge chunk of change when I realized, oops..they won't play.
I was so dissapointed. What a bummer. What good did this do anyone? The store lost out, I lost out, the manufacturer lost out.
Yes, I can find many of those same DVDs locally here, but you have to understand being in London in a store that had nothing but these great classics , all together, all in front of me, all ready to buy. Ouch, still hurts to think about it.
When will all these old people in government retire and die and go away? And when they die, will the generation that comes into power be any different and drop stupid charades like this? History indicates probaly not, but maybe our generation will be differnet, afteral, people in this generation have grown up with porn from BBS days to present and 90% of people between the ages of 18 to 40 don't give a shit what two consenting adults do, or am i wrong?
It's good to see from articles about this story that the agents at the FBI are already the butt of water color jokes about their damn stupid assignment.
It would be interesting if this could be made to run on a cell phone because it's already in java. It does seem a bit BIG in terms of UI elements, but that could be modified.
Currently, the only options on cellphones include paying 5 or 6 bucks a month (at least on the verizon network).
Of course, I don't think there's a way to install a bew app without verizon's permission? Not sure.
Anyway, lot's of questions in my mind about putting this to use on mobile devices.

Gallery 2.0 Released

· Score: 1
This is not offtopic at all. I'm sitting here trying to get to the site, it's/.'ed and though I was able to get it to load without the images, all it talked about was the different versions and its development.
Doing a quick google search for gallery 1.0 or 2.0 leads to nothing immediately informative.
Thank you for clarifying what I didn't have the patience to write up, utnow.
The "metric" I'm using in this case is the PSP message forum on Sony's own site. There are oodles of newbie messages such as "what's a router" and "how do I configure wifi" posted by people that are obviously otherwise quite adept that using computers.
Further, the other metric I'm using are reports by teachers and administrators in schools that have switched to laptops instead of textbooks. A report on NPR last week touched on the topic that a high school teacher that has switched to all laptops had to spend quite a bit of time teaching students how to administer the laptops, much to his surprise.
I'm not bashing kids and don't call me a crotchety old man, I'm just citing relevant experiences of late.

PSP Browser Tips

· Score: 1
Most of the PSP user base are completely computer illiterate , therefore, the author of the document is making it painfully easy for them to understand.
Actually, it's an interesting phenomenon, but it seems that computers have become so easy to use that most kids these days are not power users. Used to be back in the day you had to be a hacker to use a computer, not so. It will be interesting as these people enter the workforce...... but i digress.

You can download all their crappy movies from real networks for 9.99 a month or something. So it is being done, but hardly very popular I would think.
