Juha Haataja: Universal Digital IdeasDigital Media, Digital Rights, Copyrights, Freedom, and the Future of Ideas.EyeTV updated to version 2.5- September 24, 2007 I installed a new version of EyeTV on my iMac, version 2.5. This version uses a dual-tuner setup more intelligently, starting a scheduled recording on the unused tuner. Also, EyeTV can now record from the live buffer to file, a nice improvement. EyeTV was already a great program, and now even greater. (I also noticed that I had not been using the "best" settings for picture quality, even though I have a fast iMac - however, I didn't notice much improvement to the previous settings.)http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/categories/drm/2007/09/24.html#a4855 Media, home, and iMac - is there a perfect solution- September 18, 2007 Trying out new software for iMac. I downloaded yFlicks and some new games. Have to see how these work. There are several software packages trying to solve the same problem: media center for home. Needed features are downloading, converting, organizing and using videos and other formats at home. But no solution so far is quite ok. I like EyeTV, Miro, and Front Row, which are all partial solutions. Remote Buddy is a nice application for operating the iMac remotely, but perhaps not quite what I...http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/categories/drm/2007/09/18.html#a4853 Joost vs. Miro - closed vs. open- September 16, 2007 I have been testing the Miro program on my iMac - to watch videos and tv programs. A nice interface, although the Finnish localization sucks, and the system seems to work quite reliably despite being version 0.9.9.1. Miro is an early example of next generation internet - peer-to-peer technologies for various media formats, especially video. I hope openness wins. I have also tried Joost, which is in early beta, but I don't like the concept of DRM-infested world.http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/categories/drm/2007/09/16.html#a4852 There is no memory in research- September 11, 2007 Yes, IRs are broken. Let&8217;s talk about it.: "Institutional repositories as a class are in serious trouble. They are not producing the outcomes they promised&8212;or, indeed, much of any outcome in many cases. ... Fundamentally, the value proposition on which IRs were sold to libraries was in error. Voluntary self-archiving in institutional repositories simply does not happen in the absence of deposit mandates. From a library perspective, this changes the picture from the original...http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/categories/drm/2007/09/11.html#a4847 |
