Serviio is my current favorite. Was a breeze to setup on my file server (running Solaris for ZFS support; installing software is often unreasonably painful), actively updates its database as new files are added, and allows me to administer

DLNA is awesome. I have a DLNA server set up to share my music, films and tv shows around my home network. All my TVs are DLNA enabled and on the network, and I just use NFS to access files from my desktop/laptop.

I've often wondered if there ought to be some kind of access to culture defense for copyright infringement. The creators of copyrighted works reap the benefits of their work becoming integral parts of popular culture; their status as cultur

I don't really buy into brand names, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. The way I see it, companies seek to use brands to exploit irrational consumer behavior, to increase their revenue beyond the level that would prevail in the absen

Oh sure, the upshot is a punch in the face for the public relations department, and perhaps a bunch of extra work for customer services, as well as the cost of maintaining a legal department with nothing better to do. If they conducted an a

Apple products are not designed in a vacuum. Their designers take inspiration from many sources, and Braun is one of them. There is a big difference between being inspired by a design, and blatantly ripping it off.

I think Hanlon's razor should be applied in this instance. This strikes me as the work of an overzealous legal team more so than a symptom of a broader corporate strategy. They see copyright infringement, they shut it down. As far as the le

Because there is no way of calculating the potential cost of the damage to Samsung's reputation. Plus, it makes far more sense to tackle the root of the problem — the harm caused to Samsung's reputation — by ordering Apple to make public an

I don't think it's as big of an issue as you suggest. If you've spent umpteen hours developing the product, the amount of additional time and effort required to put a simple discount system in place is negligible. You could even set up a st

I like the "straight from the factory" idea. That said, I have two issues with this: 1. Comparing prices with designer brands such as Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, and Burberry is disingenuous. Consumers are paying for much more than the physical

It's the same philosophy underpinning OS X. The UI should do what it is supposed to do, do it well, and do no more. "Get out of my way" design at its best. Removing customization options and features that are not seen to be necessary is an

GNOME is clearly trying to imitate OS X. That much is plain to see. In doing so, it seems the devs have adopted the Apple approach; dictatorial design. In many respects this is a good thing. It gives them the good sense to say "no" to certa

It doesn't change whether you committed an offence or not, but it should, and does, impact the punishment you receive for it. In this case I would argue the sentencing guidelines are too restrictive; although they were given punishments at
