I just thought vodcast was some idiot trying to take "podcast" and apply it to video. Whoever says it means "video on demand" probably came up with that later to make it an acronym.
I do agree that it's very annoying and very retarded, but it loses points for being derivative of the now classically retarded "podcast".
Vlog is pretty annoying, but it's not nearly widely used enough to bet he most annoying word ever. Now podcast, which both sounds stupid and isn't even descriptive of the thing it is supposed to mean, is used EVERYWHERE. So much so, and I can't find the link now (sorry), that anythingbutipod.com used to have an official "Anything but iPod podcast." It's so stupid.
If you happen to regularly visit sites that use the word vlog I'm very sorry, that must suck. But most of us never hear or read it. I think you're maybe the third person I've ever seen use it. If you want a similar word to put up there with vlog, and I'd argue is far more annoying than vlog (and I've seen it used about as many times), try vodcast. It means what you think, ick.
Maybe we should finish off the stupid, annoying word argument once and for all and invent the vlodcast. Excuse me now, I have to go vomit.
Wait, you think apple has the ability to fundamentally change the way that cell phone companies do business and you're calling other people sheep? You support apple products and then complain about the cost of ANYTHING?!?!
Seriously, are you stupid or just fucking nuts? People (sheeple or otherwise) pay for cell (mobile for you internationals, right?) phone service because it is fucking convenient and the difference in cost between it and an almost useless landline are basically non-existent. The reason providers can get away with charging extra (a LOT extra) for "data" is probably far too complex for you to understand (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not insane). It shares features with, among other things, the phenomenon of windows being "good enough" and ipods being "cool" though.
It's annoying, whining fanboy assholes like you who makes people hate apple so much. Without you and your douchebag buddies we'd all just happily ignore apple and their irrelevant computers while feeling superior because our portable music players sound better, look cooler, and do more for less than an ipod.
I also hope the iphone does well though... and then turns out to have a violently exploding battery so that we'll have to suffer far fewer annoying pricks like you.
Which way to the Microsoft Make a Linux Deal Department? I wouldn't mind the cash or free entry into second-tier Linux distribution status for my umm... Debunhat Enterprise Linux...
I think you mean the only cable news network that hasn't listed so far to the right that it's sunk. BTW, last time I heard Bill Gates was a Republican. Is there any evidence that this is no longer the case?
How is it a good day for "honest" people? What happens after this DMCA-like law gets passed and Honest Joe Canada wants to back up the children's DVDs because Honest Joe Canada, Jr enjoys chewing on the discs but can't because he's law-abiding (regardless of the quality of the law) and it's illegal?
Seriously, get the fuck out! Laws like this ONLY hurt the "honest" people. Everyone else is going to continue downloading anyway and this won't slow that down one bit.
I'm pretty sure it answers to whatever dipshit politician (I'm looking at you Joe Lieberman) who decides they want to gain a few points by attacking video games. That's how we got the ESRB in the first place, or did you forget?
Maybe they'll tone down the content to get release and then some *intern* just might find a copy of the original lying around and *leak* it to the Internet. Maybe Nintendo should think about that before banning shit, because I highly doubt that encouraging large numbers of people to chip their Wii is really what they're looking to do.
Manhunt 2 is a lot less violent than many movies released with an R-rating. If the video game industry really wants to be taken seriously they need to stop bowing to pressure from fringe "morality" groups. Most people in the United States, and I'll assume elsewhere, don't give a rip about whether crap like this is out there or not and just won't watch/read/play it if they don't like it.
Sure, I don't think kids should be allowed to purchase it. But I don't think kids should be allowed to purchase video games at all. They should be outside playing soccer or something. Or mowing the fucking lawn.
How long before the EULA says that you can only run microsoft software on it? The DoJ isn't going to stop them these days and it seems like a more reasonable (doesn't take much, how is virtualizing a more secure OS going to be a security risk on windows!??!) case can be made that it would cut down on malware.
I didn't read the article but I'd assume it's something similar to BSD since it's paid for by the government. Could someone who read the article let the rest of us know if that's even remotely true?
That sounds a lot more like windows (and maybe your technical skills) are just crap rather than a lack of protecting the user from themselves. Unsharing the shared directory should be easy to do.
Does DHS really run windows? Really? That shit should be banned from any critical system in government. It should also be banned from any system networked to, in the same room as, or used by the same personnel as a critical system.
Of course I didn't read the article but I'm assuming they didn't have a virus outbreak on Linux or BSD.
Seriously, how the fuck did microsoft get to have fanois like you? No one EVER said it was hurting them. Well, maybe someone did but I sure as fuck didn't. I said, and reiterated in the post that you replied to, that Bluray has a chance to help Sony. Period.
Bluray might help Sony sell PS3. The chance of that goes up as the price goes down. It also might not help at all. If they don't suck up some more of the price or get the manufacturing cost down enough to drop the price it may continue to hurt them.
Because something is or could hurt Sony does not exclude it from being a possible benefit. And because HD-DVD has basically no chance to help microsoft says NOTHING about whether or not it is hurting them. Seriously, you're reasoning on the level of a small child there, buddy. But that isn't very surprising since the xbox fanbase is almost exclusively the intellectually shallow end of 16-year-old boys.
No question. But it's got a way better chance to help Sony than that the HD-DVD drive add-on for 360 will help microsoft. Which is actually what I said.
Because way more people use Linux on way more machines than will ever use Solaris and if there were a kernel driver some of us might give a fuck about ZFS and if they don't it'll continue to be supported by those who for some reason HAVE to work with it by doing an end-run around the license. Maybe Sun just doesn't care about ZFS having a wide user base, which I guess is fine. It just seems stupid to me, though.

You forgot podcast and vodcast. And what IS a blook? Is that where you print a blog on dead trees?

The only one you need to know: podcast. Most annoying word EVER!

unless they have disposable income they dont care about.
You just described most mac owners. So they'll probably sell a few million of these things.
It must be something from Google since the little i is the same as in their customizable homepage, iGoogle.
Or decrease your battery time since FLAC uses less processing power than most, if not all, lossy decoders.
It sounds crappier when you convert it to MP3 to play on your MP3 player.

I thought the OSX updates were $130. Did Apple cut the price or am I just way off to begin with?
