  1. Re:but iTunes Store sells AAC, not MP3s, right...? on EU Commissioner Slams Music Lock-In · · Score: 2, Informative

    AAC is not free to implement, there are several companies which hold patent claims. Google for AAC and PATENT and you should find some mention of it.

  2. Re:The inevietable obligatory question. on YouTube Blocked in Brazil · · Score: 2, Informative
  3. Re:ITV? on Macworld Rumor Round-Up · · Score: 1

    It won't be called iTV because it's too similar to Elgato's EyeTV product.

    Just shut up and vote yes on prop A unless you hate families.

    You don't hate family, do you?

  6. Re:How accurate is this count? on The Internet Now has Over 100 Million Web Sites · · Score: 1

    The deep web refers to pages/data/misc content not accessible through a link but that is part of a website, meaning that the deep web doesn't have an effect on the site count.

  7. Re:Signed binaries = good, encrypted binaries = ba on How Encrypted Binaries Work In Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    >> Apple using encrypted binaries will most likely cause a cascade effect with companies such as Microsoft 'ripping off' the idea

    Sort of like digital signatures/signing? :)

  8. Re:No GUI on Mac OS X Cracked For PCs Again · · Score: 5, Informative

    It doesn't say it because it isn't true.

    From TFA:

    I had to remove a key which you need to reinsert if you want to run its GUI, due to legal issues. I called it the "magicpoem" maybe you got the point now. The hex for it is around so don't mail me about it, I want [won't] spread anything illegal.

  10. Re:The consequences were that you got fired.. on Apple Fires Five Employees for Downloading Leopard · · Score: 1

    >> but it mystifies me how so many would have been "caught" in a situation where they would have admitted this.

    I recall in one of the cases with Apple Developers caught seeding tiger (or earlier?) over bittorrent, they matched the IP addresses participating in the torrent again logs of logins to the Apple Developer Connection website.

    It wouldn't be hard to believe that Apple employees may have access to internal only websites with a login and password that could be matched up against P2P logs.

  11. Re:I for one, am glad on 'Stargate: SG-1' Cancelled · · Score: 2, Informative

    >>I'd rather them finish the Ori story reasonably quickly and
    >>end the show on a moderately high note

    Unlikely that this will occur :(

    http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/08/cooper_isg-1 i_will_go_on.shtml

    Don't count Stargate SG-1 out just yet. Though SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running series, the show's producers are hard at work looking for a new outlet for the story to continue, executive producer Robert C. Cooper told GateWorld exclusively.

    The only thing I hate more then series I like being cancelled, is being left hanging, possibly indefinately.

  12. Re:Of JPEGs and PICs on USPTO Rules Fogent JPEG Patent Invalid · · Score: 1

    >> now Microsoft is coming out with PIC to replace everything that came before. How about it?

    They were actually pushing Windows Media Photo at WinHEC.

  21. Re:It's quite simple: on Paying Subscriptions for MMOs with In-Game Ads? · · Score: 1

    Matrix Online did it tastefully.

    When you're outside, there are a few billboards, or in the subway. It is more interesting then generic ads and to some extent they even add to the realism. Some offices have Alienware computers, but it isn't in your face.

    If you don't have to interact with them and can walk right by without waiting for 15 seconds then I see no issue with minimal product placement or ads in paying MMOs. (If it fits with the game... I don't want to see laptops in WOW)
