Download some Democracy

With a name like Democracy (formerly DTV), this application makes a strong statement by making the user somewhat of a program selecter. You choose which channels to subscribe to, you choose which clips to keep, delete, etc. As of right now, there’s a limited amount of channels that provide good, quality content, but what do you expect for free? I suppose you could say the same for 90% of the podcasts out there. At any rate, the interface of Democracy is well thought out and quite nice to use—not perfect though. While it’s easy to subscribe to channels and navigate through them, once you’ve downloaded more than 10 clips, they get stuck in a huge, scrolling row on the right. I suspect these small tweaks will be attended to as the development progresses. Other than that, it’s a real nice app, a pleasure to use—definitely fills a gap with internet TV/videos.

One more thing…on Mac OS X, once you start downloading clips, the default file location is in your Videos folder, which makes them accessible via Front Row. Nice!

Great job to everyone at the Participatory Culture Foundation!

IE for Mac headed for the graveyard

Microsoft Explorer

Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005. I know, try and hold back the tears.

In all fairness, I do remember around 2001 using IE on my G4 because it was the best one around. And to tell you the truth, there’s one magical feature that I have dearly missed since using this thing…the draggable page! Remember that one? Hold the spacebar, get the glove icon that allowed you to drag the page up or down, left or right.

Check it!

(Alleged) video iPod?

Apple® iPod video Update: As everyone in the world already knows, Apple released their video iPod. The thing that confused me the most was why the display wasn’t widescreen (like the fake one above). I have a suspicion that that’ll be the next thing around the corner.

Apple Power Mac G5 + 23" Cinema Display

I’m really close to upgrading from my aging 500 mhz TiBook (ouch!) to a desktop system. My laptop’s been good to me—from NYC to Rio to São Paulo to Seattle and back to NYC, this baby’s been a hardworker.
