The top 10 list about the Video formats failure. You feel free to add items to the list:

10. DIVX DVD (1998, from Digital Video Express and Circuit City)

Not to be confused with the video codec DivX, DIVX was an alternative to standard DVDs promoted by electronics chain Circuit City and the entertainment law firm Ziffren, Brittenham, Branca and Fischer. DIVX presented the consumer with a complex rent-to-own proposition where owners of a DIVX machine would buy a disc at Circuit City-of course-for $4 (since I'm adjusting everything for inflation, that's $5.19 today), then have 48 hours to watch it. After that, the disc would be useless. If said movie-lover wanted to keep the disc, however, he could pony up another couple of bucks to own the movie for good. The main benefit of DIVX was that you didn't need to return your rental disc to the store when you were done-it just stopped working. Unfortunately, its drawbacks were much, much worse: You needed to hook it up to your phone line to......

Los motivos del paro del Campo Argentino

bioxim — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 23:26:34 GMT

El campo argentino está de paro, es decir que la gente relacionada a la actividad agropecuaria cortó las rutas por donde pasan los camiones que abastecen a las diferentes ciudades y pueblos de carnes, leches y demás alimentos, mientras que sí pueden pasar camiones que transporten otro tipo de mercaderías, colectivos y autos particulares. Todo esto viene pasando desde hace 17 días. Sea como sea, Ojalá se resuelva todo cuanto antes, porque el desabastecimiento no es joda.

Lo siguiente es un folleto que la gente del campo les entrega a cada persona que transita las rutas explicando porque tomaron esta postura tan aguerrida y férrea:

Mentira 1:“Gracias a las retenciones el campo tiene el
gas-oil barato” (Ministro Lousteau)

Unseen Lyrics of Ian Curtis (Joy Division)

I walked out and thought for a time I could see no defense, and I thought for a while you were me, we were wrong, in our time, always down, out of line.

I relaxed from the days filled with bloodsport in vain, and returned with the knowledge that we're two the same, two in Hell, two set free, too alike, you to me.

And we watched everything pass us by in due course, always tied by a mutual feeling that lost, we were two, two in hell, two set free, known too well.

In the back of my mind, all I feel is mistrust, in the back of my mind, all I see is the dirt, segregation of thoughts, ideals turning to dust.

Where some houses once stood, stands a man with a gun, in some neighbourhood, a father hangs up his son, in the back of my mind.

Don't think I'd have stayed just for one more day, it seems so much like home, no room to go astray, don't think I could watch - with mindless, empty tasks, intake moving in, forced to walk a lonely path.

Pictures all around, of how good a life......

A quote of a very good movie

bioxim — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 23:29:43 GMT

The movie's name is The Lady from Shanghai (1947), the script was written by Orson Welles. It's a great movie, a classic one, well, at least that's what I think of it. Despite the long time i don't watch this movie, this lines got me:

Michael O'Hara (Orson Welles): Once, off the hump of Brazil I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky.We'd put in at Fortaleza, and a few of us had lines out for a bit of idle fishing. It was me had the first strike. A shark it was. Then there was another, and another shark again, 'till all about, the sea was made of sharks and more sharks still, and no water at all. My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the scent, or maybe the stain it was, and him bleeding his life away drove the rest of them mad. Then the beasts to to eating each other.In their frenzy, they ate at themselves.You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death,......

La amistad a veces duele.

Bueno, por lo que veo la mayoría escribe en inglés, pero hoy no estoy de ánimo. Tal vez, es porque no escribo para que muchos lean o entiendan. Escribo acá porque no tengo diario íntimo jajaja

No, no es eso.. es que le escribo a alguien a quien nunca le voy a mostrar este mensaje, solamente el destino hará que lo lea o no lo lea.

La historia comienza cuando teníamos 8 o 9 años, te acordás? Jugamos juntas durante toda una tarde que quedó en mi memoria más grabada que muchos otros tantos recuerdos de infancia. Nos reencontramos de casualidad, en el colegio, cuando teníamos 13 años, y fuimos las mejores amigas a partir de ese momento, aún sin saber que eras aquella chica con la que había jugado esa tarde.

Ese destino que nos volvió a juntar aquella vez, es el mismo que hoy me hace preguntar muchas cosas sobre esa amiga que tanto compartimos,......
