YouTube

Content
I don't spend time on YouTube, I could if I wanted to, I could spend forever there. It is like what 24 hours of footage uploaded every hour? So I could spend my entire life just watching crap. Most of the stuff is not original, stuff like the things you see on TV. A lot is copyright infringement, and I love being a pirate and violating laws. But when it is blatantly done by crappy filmmakers and then pisses of the original copyright holders, that just seems stupid. Content creators need to understand that when others use their work it is only for a better content consumer experience. For example if I make a video of me dancing and decide to use an obscure dance tune, while I'm technically infringing on someone's intellectual property I am promoting someone. I love Creative Commons (see other rant for more info) and I wonder why I can't just filter the whole site by CC videos and traditional copyright videos or do CC searching like on Flickr!
Technical
I do not like the tech of YouTube, I really like internet standards like HTML5, .OGV, the works. So I was really glad, hearing that they were using HTML5 for videos, but the videos are not in .OGV so the whole ordeal isn't supported by Firefox and Opera, so who cares? Now I know that .OGV is really lacking in the whole quality/compression thing, so shouldn't we be investing in making .OGV better for the whole internets community! (Am I using too many exclamation points)

Creative Commons

Creative Commons!
I love Creative Commons, with it you can do whatever you want with everything on this blog. Everything I put on this site is my own property, everything, every joke, every image, everything. With Creative Commons you can take anything from this site and do ANYTHING you want with it, remix it, share it, I don't care, BUT you must give me credit and also use a Creative Commons license. Is everyone cool with that?
Huh?
Creative Commons is really great. If you don't have an idea of what I'm talking about go to the Creative Commons site and I'm sure they can give a much better explination

Rants

This is an entire blog of rants. As much possible rants as possible, I don't know what I will rant about, or if it will make sense. Mostly it will be about computers and life. Also most rants will be fictional
