@JasonSalaz Is it your main tool, or do you use something else most of the time you're in sound?

This is #superhot:
Because there are no ratings in the US store, I'll link the German entry as well: amazon.de/Dr-Bott-Universal-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B00511MOGQ/…
It seems like a legit product.
"Dr. Bott is an international company with offices in France, Germany and the Netherlands." drbott.info
If this product is any good, it is an obligatory purchase for every Mac user. :P

Cool! Does it pass through HDCP?

No idea. I don't know that much about these things as I've only used vga in the past...
Wikipedia just told me that the master key for HDCP was cracked and confirmed by Intel.
Wikipedia also just told me that HDCP is part of the HDMI specification. So I guess the answer is yes.
(I love referring to wikipedia.)
Mmmmh...
The HDCP standard included HDMI since revision 1.1.
HDMI has seen several revisions as well (1.4a is the current one).
When reading the German article, it seems like they say that HDCP is supported in HDMI adapters of revision 1.2 or higher. But it's not quite clear from the article.
Aaaaaaaargh. THIS IS SO CONFUSING!!!!

It reminds me of when I purchased that Samsung HDTV yesterday. DVB T/C, CI+, HDMI, DVI, VGA, Video via USB (but what video/audio formats ?!?!),....
If anybody is confused by the words written with my keyboard, this is my problem: If HDCP support is part of the HDMI revision, I need to know which one. Most adapters that I've seen don't specifically mention HDCP support, but they do mention what HDMI revision they support.

Last day to get a free upgrade to Parallels 8 if you bought 7 after June 25th (or, if like me you got 7 in the bundle deal with screenflow but didn't actually apply for the key until the 27th ;) )
@gentmatt They are not analogous, you can have a HDMI device that doesn't support HDCP, it's just uncommon.

@gentmatt apple.stackexchange.com/q/47105/9495 - Mystery upvote just now, perhaps you should just give me the damn 15 points already! ;)
@gentmatt Seems pretty nicely priced too, a tad over £20 here. Sadly fulfilled but not sold by Amazon, so would be a pain to return. (I never user amazon market place sellers unless I really have no choice)

Ouch! Marco Arment is really giving Twitter a hard time! It's good though...I think they needed it...
Twitter should cut the bullshit and just become write-only via API. At least it would be honest. But they can’t be honest. They’re cowards.

Only cowards hide behind obfuscated business-speak and vague rules. They can’t have it both ways: either offer no API or a usable API.

@marcoarment Tons of incredible companies building off of Twitter data.

@marcoarment we've been very clear in our guidance to third-party clients. you might not agree with the policy, but doesnt make us dishonest
Tweeted by rsarver on November 16, 2012 at 7:09 PM in reply to marcoarment
It *IS* dishonest to imply that there’s a path forward after hitting the token limit. “Work with us” really means “Shut down.” (@rsarver)
Tweeted by marcoarment on November 16, 2012 at 7:15 PM
@rsarver @marcoarment The policies are dishonest because they imply you'll work with developers, when in reality you just shut them down.
Tweeted by amilham96 on November 16, 2012 at 7:15 PM in reply to rsarver
“Work with us” really means “Let us shut you down in private, because we don’t have the balls to make our real policy public.”

@daviesgeek Marco is very opinionated about open APIs and stuff.
in other news, i'm working on a mobile app for rstat.us, so i can leave twitter.

@jrg I'm fine with what twitter is doing. I understand it, but I absolutely hate the way they phrased the documentation. It's confusing and misleading, as Marco has already pointed out.
Typical California style…

@daviesgeek either have an API for all, or don't have an API at all imo.
 
daviesgeek

Say something, but don't really say anything.
 
jrg

but, as you said - typical California style.
 
daviesgeek
daviesgeek
And leave it open to any extreme of interpretation…
Sigh… Californians…
And yah, have an API that does something useful or don't have it at all. Again, California style. Half deprecate it, but don't really because you don't want to offend or hurt people...
 
jrg

and then you offend and hurt everyone.

@stuffe That does not really contradict what I was thinking though. It could merely mean that the HDMI device is an old revision that did not yet define HDCP support.

I haven't heard of rstatus. Just Status.net and App.net

But, I just went to the shop. And one employee said the same as you. So I guess you're right.
@stuffe Not sure what I was waiting for :). Accepted!

@JasonSalaz rstatus has a special place in my heart, it's the only open source project i've used where I've met the original developer in-person. Not to mention it fits right into my worldview of standards-based stuff.

@bmike I don't audio-edit much, when I have? GarageBand. I don't think that it's due to any failing of Fission, just that my brain seems to be wired for GarageBand.
I love Fission, and could probably make a point of putting it in my work flow.
It's certainly SO MUCH FASTER than GarageBand >_>
admittedly, the other reason I use GarageBand is the editing I've been doing lately involved MP4 chaptering.

@daviesgeek: I'm sure you'll have seen this, but an interesting read.- daltoncaldwell.com/twitter-is-pivoting
