The Truth

April 15th, 2008

Tommy Murphy: i dont get how the processor works with virtual memory addresses
Tommy Murphy: and the operating system converts them into physical addresses
Tommy Murphy: does the operating system not run on the processor?
Jackie Murphy: it doesn’t; virtual memory is a lie perpetuated by the OS kernel cartels

Think Vendor Lock-In

April 13th, 2008

In the Media Studies class I’m taking this semester we have to make a “Culture Jam”. According to the assignment worksheet:

Culture Jamming is an activity that generally tries to take a message and, by using the characteristics of that message, subverts it against its original meaning

I decided to use the Apple Think Different campaign to illustrate their vendor lock-in practices. By purchasing an iPod and buying a song off of iTunes, you are forever locked-in to buying more and more iPod’s*. Many companies have similar lock-in practices (Microsoft Office comes to mind) and it is always important to be able to analyze a product’s lock-in risk before purchasing it. Obviously the solution to this problem is open source software and open standards. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to listen to some MiniDisks and check out some YouTube videos on an iPhone.

* Unless of course you get one of the DRM free songs.

Spring Break!

February 29th, 2008

Wooo! Tomorrow morning I’ll be headed to Savannah Georgia to visit with Mat. I’ll finally find out what the mythical Art School is really like. Hopefully the train will have some sort of power outlet that I can plug my laptop into and entertain myself on the 13 hour ride… Oh and here’s a sweet video

Hulu

February 17th, 2008

So I’ve had my Hulu account for a while now but have not used it very much. I hardly ever watch any TV but after a brief visit back home this weekend I fell back in love with it. I’ve heard people say good things about It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia and today finally watched an episode. I enjoyed it thoroughly and will probably come back to watch the others.

If you want a Hulu invite holler in the comments or just send me an email if you don’t want to register.
