Is this a way to avoid that awful Microsoft updater?

These have been going on for a while. I have been noticing these for at least a year, and I have seen a similar format with Bill Gates and Musk. I guess it's a whack-a-mole problem, and MicroStrategy has been attempting to report them as they can.

YouTube should do better. I try and report the ones I come across.

Re:Ask HN: So, Bitcoins - would you still buy them? on Friday April 05, 2013 @02:21PM (#5500089)
As long as you have the funds to spare. Just don't invest anything you can't afford to loose.

That's what I do. I agree, it's very fascinating to watch a digital currency come into use.

I've bought two cell phones, and a video card using bitcoins. And I've hired a developer for a day with bitcoins. So I see some value besides just investing in them, which also was a bit more incentive.

Re:Ask HN: How do I import an MKV to iMovie? on Tuesday July 05, 2011 @05:31PM (#2731674)
Check out video monkey to get it into a MP4 container. Then QuickTime/iMovie will work with it.

You'll loose some quality though from the encode to MP4.

Your best bet is to search for something that will get that MKV file into apple intermediate codec, or ProRes.

Check the Mac App Store for apps that will convert MKVs without transcoding them.
