“Read about the iTunes-Harmony fiasco”
“Real”
“Apple”
RealNetworks has released a perfectly legal alternative to Apple’s proprietary music format. This allows the software to encode music compatible on the popular iPOD.
Apple’s response is no less than shameful as it has obviously taken a stance as an arrogant, self-absorbed, monopolizing entity. By accusing RealNetworks reverse engineering the technology as very similar to that of a hacker, Apple demands that the alternative be snuffed out.
I’ve finally finished reading the backlog on my RSS aggregator (about 200+ articles). A lot of interesting stuff has happened around the world during my absence from the net. I thought I’d share a bunch I found interesting.
“Manfrotto 484 RC2 Mini Ball Head with Rapid Connect System”
“View post”
“Gruppo Manfrotto”
Nono finally decided to sell me his 484 RC2 Ball-Head. I just took the picture off the Manfrotto site.
This head is a godsend! It gives me all the flexibility I need, as discussed in my other post.
I’m back home! Flight back home was delayed twice!
Our trip to Boracay was changed at the last minute to Guimaras for various reasons (as explained later). Nonetheless, I’ve enjoyed my stay in both Iloilo City and Guimaras.
This may proabably be my last post for the week. Starting tomorrow (or today, depending on when this post is published) we’ll be leaving for a concert in Iloilo. I’ll be coming back on the 27th which, incidentally is my birthday. What a way to spend your b-day; stuck in a bus or plane, on your way back to the drudgery of normal living.
No matter… a lot has been (and will be) accomplished.
