My Life as Open Source

之前在AXN 有一集沒一集地看Lost，明珠台最近播Lost，癮來了，挨了幾晚通宵，補回沒看過和美國剛播完的集數，總算是草草看完了！但仍然是個「迷」，恨得我咬牙切齒。不善於寫介紹，請看小奧的《迷》上了電視　找到了《 Lost》。

我想到兩本新書的書名:

1. How to disrespect people and still feel good afterward?
看見有些人取笑別人是豬扒，嘿，閣下也只不過是五十步笑百步。若是你指出閣下亦相差無幾，他回答你:”At least 我是巴西豬，別人是劣豬”

2. The art of disrespect people and make them feel happy about it.
更甚的是，礙於某些原因，可能是政治壓迫，被取笑的人只能默默接受。

前RIAA 執行長Hilary Rosen 「竟然」覺得：

But knowing we were right legally really still isn’t the same thing as being right in the real world. We had that euphoria with the first Napster decision. I hope my former colleagues remember that…….
The euphoria of this decision does not and should not change the need for the entertainment industry to push foward and embrace these new distribution systems. Does the court win help? Maybe, but only if this victory is seen as gaining leverage in business negotiations rather than an invitiation to only pursue more litigation and enforcement. Certainly there will be some P2P services who will be in a better position to play here than others.

她終於發現，法理上是合理不等如在現實生活是合理，你摧毀了顧客的「伙伴」(或競爭對手？)，但不等如顧客會回到你的懷抱科水比你。

我開始對於以個人生活紀錄(又稱流水賑)為主要內容的Podcast 生厭，要聽也不是不可以，只是不要長達十幾分鐘，對於我來說，聽一兩分鐘已經好夠。你估我真係好緊張你今朝食左乜做早餐咩！

還是覺得播歌的好聽，或如哎啤說，最好播prank calls！正！軟硬天師玩電話。

自己一向對Gwen Stefani 及其樂隊的音樂沒興趣，不知怎樣，iTMS 的Podcast 介紹，一聽之下覺得Holla back girl 好聽，Harajuku Girl 也不錯，歌詞好得意，比起Black Eyed Pea 最近首新歌好聽一點，兩首歌對我來說好pop，不過Black Eyed Pea 的吹波糖味太重。

Snip from Harajuku Girl’s lyric:

Were mono - there’s me, there’s you (hoko-ten)
In a pedestrian paradise
Where the catwalk got its claws (meow)
A subculture in a kaleidoscope of fashion
Prowl the streets of Harajuku (irasshaimase)
Super lovers, tell me where you got yours
(at the super lovers store)
Yoji Yamamoto, I’m hanging with the locals
Where the catwalk got its claws, all you fashion know-it-alls
With your underground malls in the world of Harajuku
Putting on a show, when you dress up in your clothes
Wild hair color and cell phones
Your accessories are dead on

Snip from Holla Back Girl’s lyric:

ooh, this my shit, this my shit
I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn’t think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I’m ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That’s right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up
A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just goin’ to happen like that
‘Cause I ain’t no holla back girl
I ain’t no holla back girl

從Alex 那邊看到MGM vs Grokster，法官裁定Grokster 是可以被起訴的，這是令人十分失望的裁判！我幾乎想火燒MGM studio！有如菜刀的出現，它既可以用來切菜，亦可以用來劈友，難道鋒利的菜刀是非法的麼？且看EFF 的反應。

其實這篇是沒有悲劇成份。

早前天佑寫了任天堂次世代(3次方)遊戲機Revolution 將不作HDTV 輸出，當時還覺得不算是甚麼特別，覺得有就叫錦上添花，無亦無不妥，直到看了上兩期Game Weekly 的讀者投稿，原來任天堂不作HDTV 輸出是有多重考慮，除了任天堂一貫作風，以遊戲的趣味，創新的玩法取勝，不靠華麗畫面吸引人外，還考慮到開發一個支援HDTV 的遊戲是很花金錢和時間，加重遊戲公司的負擔，最終這些包袱也只會轉架到消費者身上，而且，Metal Gear 開發者小島秀夫說過三部主機中以Revolution 最易開發，這麼一來，遊戲的售價也能保持現在的價位，看來任天堂是想等到Revolution 2 才支援HDTV 吧。
