I think few open source projects enjoy the user satisfaction that VLC does. Even Linux itself is not as friendly to its users.

VLC (by cause or by effect?) also doesn’t have evangelists trying to push it. It doesn’t need them. Contrarianism is a strong motivator in today’s culture.

I was going to reply “at least the burning of Alexandria was an accident,” and then I thought to look that up. Seems egotists destroying public collections of knowledge is just baked into humanity. We’ll never be free of its scourge.

I don’t know, I think a rag calling itself Windows Central might have a bias towards Microsoft…

Even the tone of the article sounds like their arms are tired from carrying their water.

One thing after another, Microsoft is forced to respond time and time again to ongoing rumors that it’s leaving the hardware space.

A new Xbox rumor started this weekend that’s now blown out of proportion, as usual.

Can you bitch any harder?
