I might be wrong but wasn't streamingmedia.com doing some bullshit Theora vs H264 comparison before?

random first second thoughts:
as i scrolled down the page, I lost the text to image connection. where does the text belong to, the image above or below.
does not show the mobile interface. or is it just a website that you call "app"?
Re:Poll: How much do you trust Google?
on Saturday January 08, 2011 @04:44AM (#2082744)
I have the same problem. I do "trust" Google with some of my activities (such as watching online videos on -> Youtube and sometimes using the web search -> Google) but I do not trust them in the meaning that I think they do no evil with my data.
I trust they are not abusing the data they record about me, but I do not trust in the good of harvesting and data mining said data.

Art is created because people feel the need. Money should not be the incentive.
An example could be a fan-made translation of old works. Mashups. Redubbing of movies. Free recordings of music.

If you are just looking to make a self-contained file that has the page as image, I would suggest you simply embed the image as base64.
I made a bitmap -> <table> once, that was pure hell like this. ;-)

Re:Zed Shaw: Why I Don't Use Tor

Using Tor does not mean that you are an exit node. You have to actually set that up and it is warning you about it. Using Tor as a client only is safe and secure.
If people do bad things through your exit node, you are in danger regardless where you live. The law enforcement must be aware of what your server was doing. Its understanding varies from place to place.

The author might live in a country where that is not the case. In Germany for example the term "app" was not used before Apple came.

I hope you do not really think that allowing others to use your internet connection will protect you from any problems arising from bad things being done with your internet connection. But please do run a Tor exit node.

Then don't. You don't have to. Listen to the radio. Record the radio (in many countries that is legal). Listen to Youtube or streams. Listen to free music!

But you are even further away. So actions like this might be more than what you would accomplish otherwise. If enough "executors" are annoyed and unhappy, maybe they will raise the issue to the next level. And so on.

I was using Opera Mini on my mobile under the assumption that they value my privacy and do not store any data. If they would start doing this, it would outrage me enough that I might potentially even go back to Firefox on my desktop.

Linux is the best desktop OS I ever used. Sure, it required me to learn a bit about its innards and consider what I need and why, but once configured it is a flawless and relaxing experience for me.
