Since Firefox does not support MP3 or AAC, and IE/Safari do not support OGG they would have to do it in Flash unless they are transcoding server side or only supporting certain browsers.

If it is your credit card information, you would seem to be the victim. In that case Sony is playing the role similar to the US government and is only offering you a shirt instead of a bullet proof vest. The original analogy though is only

Doubtful since Netflix already runs on several Linux devices, most notably the Roku, the Boxee Box and the WD Live TV. Just like with android devices it all comes down to built DRM which regular Linux distributions will not support.

Ever since the redesign their sites are almost unusable on my machine. When will sites realize that floating part of the page so that only part of it scrolls not only leads to lag but also makes for a visually confusing user experience. Sla

ub.com and pokerstars.com both resolve to their original servers (77.87.179.116 & 66.212.231.205) using either Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8) or Level3's (4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2)

Arguing that Google stole the idea of 'Mapping Parties' seems a bit silly. Claiming that OSM invented the idea of 'Mapping Parties' is even more ridiculous than claiming that Apple invented the term 'App Store'. The argument that MapMaker i

That reminds me of the guy who tried to become the ultimate shopper by mailing people a copy of the UPC from his Safeway discount card with the intention that they would stick it over their UPC code. http://www.cockeyed.com/pranks/safeway/

Personally I find it easier to pair their rss feed ( http://pycon.blip.tv/rss ) with Miro that way I can view the summaries without having to click though. My laptop is so old that the flash player stutters and their html5 player is just aw
