Personally, I can't stand the whole "i-" thing from apple.

iLife, iTunes, iWork, iCoffee, iDon'tCare!

If I want to play some music, I select a 'CD ROM' and put it in my 'CD ROM player' then press 'Play'

I must be the only person I know who doesn't have several GBs of .mp3 files on their hard drive

Regarding Real Player, as this is the most evil piece of software ever devised by man & marketing I tend to use 'RealAlternative' to play .ram files:

...but mostly I avoid .ram files...

I wouldn't have guessed that my grumpy mood and a bad softwareexperience combined would have produced a thread with this many posts, but it's nice to see that I'm not the only one getting tired of marketing sleezing it's way into otherwise fine software products like this.

I think the intel macs are awesome... if they don't come out with a new one every other week!!

okay, so that had nothing to do with quicktime.... just rant. hehe

Actually Apple's time-to-market seems to be lagging about 2-3 months behind Intel actually shipping a given new technology or update to an existing one (chipset, cpu etc).

Presumably this gives Apple time to debug a bit more and Intel time to ramp up production to meet a pricepoint Apple is satisfied with.

Also, Intel also does Apple's motherboard design now (which you may already know?)

It just had to happen. You don't need time-consuming & costly cross-platform development if there is to be only one prevailing platform.....

strangely all those 'proof of concept' examples are by companies involved in the anti-virus business...

Does anybody could explain why there's no ISO codec?

petal · Post by **petal** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 12:23 pm

I don't believe that ISO is a codec at all. To my knowledge ISO is an image of a disc. You can use a program called "Daemon Tool" (its free) to load an ISO-file, and then you can access it as if it was inserted into a CD-drive.

Sorry, I would mean a standard codec.
Why do I have to install many media players???
M$, like Apple, have their proprietary codecs; some media content can be played with Real only; some other are coded by Ogg Vorbis.
This kind of things make people goes mad.

Ok garyb.
But, honestly, I don't like so much you call it fascism.
As an Italian guy I prefer the word capitalism, considering the negative effects fascism brought.
