Not Treated as a Sporting Event
Ok, NBC, apparently we’re going to be playing this three hour tape delay all throughout the Olympics? You’ll show football games at the same time throughout all time zones, but the Olympics are too “special” to do that with? I’m slowly learning that people on the West Coast get screwed over when it comes to TV broadcasts, even though ironically so much of what’s on TV is made in this time zone.
In the world of “pointless restrictions Apple places on your media devices”, I was trying to put the teaser trailer video for Radical on my iPhone since the iTunes podcast feed is not live. (No, don’t worry, my desktop is still happily Apple-free – my Macbook still has the duty of all my iPhone syncing duties.) As it turns out, iTunes won’t do it because the video file is too big, and apparently resizing it on the computer or just letting the phone downsize it is way too difficult. Thanks for trying, Apple, but I’ll take my Zune HD that I can happy throw whatever resolution video I want at it, and it will “just work”. Perhaps Apple needs to look into that phrase some?
