Apple: wonderful products, occasional moronic ideas
Submitted by piotr on Thu, 03/26/2009 - 18:46.If you happen to live in a country speaking more than one language - or traveling - you are in trouble these days.
Everybody and his dog seems to be busy making websites detect your locale and serve content exclusively in what they think is the local language - never mind your choice, common sense or the other national languages.
Lots of websites - including Apple's App Store - serve information in a language you may not know, and stubbornly ignore whatever language settings you may have on your computer and in your browser. Even if it's an Apple computer and Apple software!

Je blogue tu blagues - EBU event
Submitted by piotr on Wed, 11/28/2007 - 11:04.The great copyright scam
Submitted by piotr on Tue, 11/27/2007 - 09:18.Copyright needs to be protected and piracy punished, musicians have to be paid for their work. However, how can you rip-off people by the millions - legally?
- Produce music people don't want to buy
- Bribe, convince or just bully law makers to assume that everybody is a pirate and tax everybody indiscriminately every time they buy a hard disk or blank DVD
- Presto, you have billions pouring in, without any work
And you thought you had to make the effort to sell the Brooklyn bridge or the Eiffel Tower?!
