Apple, FLAC, and NIH

Apple is innovating again. This time they’ve decided to create a lossless
audio format. $DEITY forbid that they should use an existing free format, like
FLAC. Shit like this just fragments
the multimedia market. This is not good for consumers. Of course,
Apple probably needed a format that would support their Digital Restrictions
Management.

This paragraph is for all the people who say that Apple is being a “good
open source citizen”. Apple has caused more harm in the way of proprietary
multimedia formats than Microsoft and Real put together.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask the following question of Apple:
What the fuck is wrong with you?

Flash Gordon

The person responsible for

should be flogged. That’s not Flash Gordon. That’s Captain
Torch. Sheesh, it’s like I’m talking to a brick wall here.

Silly Alan

Alan Cooper has an unhealthy fixation with maximized windows.
That is all.

Silly Marco

Quoth Marco:
“Port gnome applications to use gtkmozembed. Mikael ported devhelp already and
I need to convince shaunm to let me port yelp :)”

Let you? Yeah, OK. I’ll let you.
