I just wanted to remind my fellow Mac users that they really aught to be using Plex to play back all their movies. (And I do mean movies—a quick clip here and there, you’re best served by VLC or mplayer.) A new version, 0.5.15, was released two days ago, and includes all the usual bug fixes that you’d expect.

Tudtad, hogy a youtube 1985-ben indult? Mi sem. Márpedig az alábbi videó a koncepció működését mutatja be ebből az időszakból. A Youtube természetesen igazából 2005-ben indult három PayPal dolgozó kiugrásával. Érdekes módon messze nem az első streaming videós oldal volt. Azok már kb. 95 óta léteztek nagy számban. A Youtube több tényező szerencsés együttállása miatt tudta csak ilyen sikeresen meglovagolni a második internetes videó hullámot. A reklámok stratégiai elrendezése és a közösségi információmegosztás forradalma mind-mind ...
