Record in H.264 and you can never publish your work?
Apparently most all consumer (and even some professional) photo and video cameras embody licensing encumbrances that strive to prevent profitable distribution of your own work: Why Our Civilizations Video Art and Culture is Threatened by the MPEG-LA.
Since the posting of that a couple days ago several other analyses (CNET, Engadget) have been presented, including reaction from Lukas Mathis who concludes that H.264 is not viable for long-term use.
This is sort of a rough situation.

Twittage
- Likely going to stop reading twitter now that it's broken via RSS. Workaround suggestions welcome. (Hoping that @nnw_Mac will add support!)
- Praise the l0rd; iOS 4.1 finally restores my iPhone 3G to its reasonably-snappy state of old.
- How do I get an RSS feed of the twitter accounts I'm following? Previously using /statuses/friends_timeline.rss but that broke yesterday.
- Words which irritate me: "price point" (just say "price"); "sign off on" (just say "sign"); "viral video" (just say "trendy tripe").
- Can #Apple not produce a goddamn display anymore without a piece of shit reflective glass in front of it?
