Have you seen the movie Idiocracy? If you have, you will understand what this post is about. When I see really stupid decisions by companies *cough*RIAA*cough, it makes me think of that movie. I really wonder what the hell the RIAA is thinking. There is an article mentioned over at Daring Fireball which talks about the RIAA prosecuting a man for actually ripping his legally purchased music on to his computer.
Talk about pushing consumers away from CD purchases even more, these guys are idiots. So now the only way for me to legally get music on my computer or device is to purchase it and download it from iTunes or other online music stores. I think this is another step toward the nail in the coffin of CD music sales.
We finally received our Mac Pro's here at Cocoa Machine. All I can say is wow. I will never use anything else again. These machines are ridiculous. You throw everything you can at them and they just yawn and ask for more. Glenn and I are ready to work on something, but we do not know what yet. We had the MacUX project, where we were working on porting MonoDevelop to native Mac OS X, but that is now going to be delivered by the Mono and MonoDevelop teams respectively. There are plenty of things to do and we will be sitting down to put our heads together. Whatever it is, it will be fun and for the community.
If you have any thoughts on what you would like to see on the Mac platform, drop us a line.
