filed under: audio, utilities, video, iphone
so this uber smart dude zodttd, has done something pretty sweet.he has successfully ported the popular vlc media player over to the iphone. yes, the iphone.
g deal you say? well check out what you'll now be able to do on your little piece of apple mole goodness: drag, drop and play mpeg/mpg, avi and mp3 media formats.
woohooo!
soon it will play flac and ogg and he's checking out how to build support for vcd, divx, wma, and wmv.
you will have to break free from the jail on your iphone to see this baby working, and it's currently in beta.
one question though, why aren't these formats already supported by apple? aren't we all tired of the format wars at this point? if you pay $400 or more for a device, shouldn't you get a say in what plays on it and what doesn't?
what do you think? comt us up.

updated: verizon wireless ponders $27 llion buy-out of alltel; voadfone confirms talks
verizon wireless (nyse: vz), the second-largest u.s. carrier, is reportedly in talks to buy no. 5 alltel (nyse: at) communications for $27 llion, according to cnbc, which cited unnamed sources. spokespeople at verizon and alltel declined to comt on the news, reported ap. together, the two companies would easily surp at&t, the largest u.s. carrier. little rock, ark.-based alltel became a privately held company, after it was bought out by tpg capital and gs capital partners in november for $24.7 llion. considered a regional carrier, it covers parts of 35 states in the middle of the u.s. and has more than 13 million customers. together, verizon wireless and alltel would have 80.2 million scribers, surping at&t's 71.4 million customer base.
of course, the acquisition makes sense. verizon wireless and alltel use the same network technology called cdma, but perhaps, verizon would face regulatory hurdles given that the number of wireless operators has shrunk considerably in the last few years. one thing for sure is that it could be a to many mole developers and third-party companies that rely on the smaller operators to be more risky and try out new services before g behemoths like verizon and at&t (nyse: t).
update: vodafone (nyse: vod), which has a 45 percent stake in verizon, confirmed today that the us's second largest carrier is in talks with alltel to buy the rural carrier for $27 llion, reports reuters.

enough with the disposable technology
over the years, i've had a number of conversations with friends concerned about how disposable (and wasteful) technology has be. case in point -- the new printer i bought for less than the price of ink cartridges.
until last week, i had three printers -- a fairly modern hp all-in-one unit, a brother laser printer and my old hp all-in-one, a g95.
the first two we shipped, since we use them routinely, and they'll work in the us just fine. the g95 i figured we'd use until we moved for the odd print job or copying we might need.
unfortunately, i failed to check if the mac supported it. mac running leopard does not. oh, hp will lie to you and say that gutenprint makes it work. i bet no one from hp has actually tried it. i know that many report the same issue i had. it would send the print job out but nothing would back.
annoying. i couldn't believe i'd need to buy a new printer with weeks to go here. but, i did need to print something. so, i started checking prices.

man banned from owning a camera phone after secretly filming woman on the toilet

a man in singapore (where else) has been banned from owning a camera phone for a year after being caught secretly filming a woman in an airport bathroom. actually, "secretly" is probably a strong word when you consider that the perp, 19-year-old samuel ong, simply slid his camera phone under the cucle door to catch a few ss.
not surprisingly, the woman caught ong in the act and reported him to the police. in addition to the cellphone ban, he will have to complete 60 hours of community service, undergo psychiatric treatt and observe a curfew as part of his sentence. seems like he is getting off pretty easy, especially by singaporean standards.[reuters]
