Fuck the VCs

This is a great post, and is accurate. But we need to look at ourselves, too. Why are we more interested in downloading stupid apps than ones that have real value? It's sort of like why the National Enquirer and other rags exist. If people want stupid stuff, rather than stuff like Evernote, the VCs are there to support the needs of people, not try to force them to download stuff that would actually be better for them. A lot of McDonalds got built by people who wanted to make a buck. - Robert Scoble

Is true value determined by the market? Cultural prejudice? Pop culture? A cabal of high priests? It may differ by subject. - todd

This is something that we as a society are responsible for, it is no different to bad food or alcohol. Moderation is the key and something that people do not understand, why can't I have 65 cheese burgers with dinner, while I watch 4 hours of reality television and read about Britney's love child alien abduction ? And we in the geek world enable people to be idiots, by treating them like adults and expecting them to understand that crapware should be in moderation, like everything else. /rant over Great article. - Jonathan Ferguson

Slashdot | IBM Granted "Paper-or-Plastic?" Patent

August 7 at 6:14 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Cote' and Mark Forman liked this

"On Tuesday, IBM was granted US Patent No. 7,407,089 for storing a preference for paper or plastic grocery bags on customer cards and displaying a picture of said preference after a card is scanned. The invention, Big Blue explains, eliminates the 'unnecessary inconvenience for both the customer and the cashier' that results when 'Paper or Plastic?' must be asked. The patent claims also cover affixing a cute sticker of a paper or plastic bag to a customer card to indicate packaging preferences. So does this pass the 'significant technical content' test, IBM'ers?" - JodyUnwired via Bookmarklet

We are Devo...back to the Walmart Smile face type patent issues. I hate when big companies try to buy all the vowels of the alphabet and claim some technology benefit. - Mark Forman

You can't be fscking serious. At first I'm thinking this is a good idea. Maybe help people save the environment...or not...but why a patent? - Rah™

Think about all the choices we have to make on any given day. A different card for each? "Now where is that 'sweetened or unsweetened tea' card? Oh my, I left it at home, I'll just have water" Oy vey! - JodyUnwired

They won't. They want you to use the iTunes Store to view HD movies instead ;) - Andru Edwards

I'm with Andru on this one - they have an incentive to release BD authoring tools for the Mac Pro to help content creators, but no incentive to pursue BD playback in non-pro hardware as iTunes is their bread and butter. I think they are right - online distribution is primed and ready to replace physical distribution. - Sparky

...except that iTunes movies don't have nearly the resolution of BluRay discs... I mean, 4GB movie downloads? I highly doubt we'll see that soon -- unless Comcast wins their suit and Network Discrimination moves forward. - Chris Messina

I'm going to say late this year or in 2009. Our net infrastructure isn't ready for HD streaming. FIOS or something similar would have to grow 10x - Wes Hoogenboom

Never. @other people have said why - Akshay Dodeja

Online distribution is also pushed in an attempt to plug the analog hole against piracy, but I'm not sure if ISPs are so eager to see that happen as bandwidth for video distribution is "killing" their networks. - Bryan

Oh I'm not arguing with your logic Chris, I am just telling you why Apple isn't jumping in. I wish they would. I have FiOS at 50/20, and would be totally happy with downloading 1080p movies to rent. But what about the Blu-ray discs that I BUY? No way to watch them on my Macs at the moment. It's stupid. - Andru Edwards

How many of the current Macs have the horsepower to play BluRay movies? I'm guessing that at some point next year, we'll see a BluRay upgrade option become available for high end Macs. Maybe BluRay support will be a feature of Snow Leopard. - Paul Grav
