Having a computer hooked up to the TV is a totally self indulgent act. The Mac Mini lacks a card reader, front load USB slots and to my surprise, doesn’t have a Blu Ray disk reader. It’s slick, sexy, effortless function right out of the box is a huge attraction; but I’m the kind of guy who will spend the extra four hours figuring something out or just ignore some duct tape solution that would never be acceptable at market.

A problem is growing and not yet been addressed by Microsoft, Adobe or AOL. In repairing computers, many problems come down the line before the software giants post solutions. Adobe’s Flash movie player is increasingly showing up as uninstalled for PC owners still using AOL regularly.

Using a simple webcam (that didn’t adjust the aperture for my being outside), I recorded four videos just as you might. They’re all about 30 seconds long. They’re destinies differed: One would remain the .WMV the webcam uses to save videos, the others would be converted to .AVI (requiring one conversion), .MOV and .M4V (requiring TWO conversions).

Typically, favicons go in the /root of a website meaning any page from the /root forward gets the icon that’s there by default. Thankfully, for HTML pages, you can use the META tag at the top of the page to specify a different favicon or apple-touch-icon if you’re catering to the growing iPhone surfers – they’re the fastest growing group of surfers on the web!
