Re: Origin of the phrase “Roger that” in English

It still did here in the UK into the 1980s, though I haven't heard it used since back then.

Nice! Pour Ambient Sounds looks interesting :)

Re: Windows startup sounds transformed into amazing ambient music

"Brian Eno is best known among the startup sound composers, for his contribution to Windows 95" is the correct quote.

Re: Why I Love Spotify and Think You Should Too

Nice post. A wee correction, though - Radiohead are on Spotify. It's Yorke's newer stuff that's been pulled.

Re: How to Use Spotify Outside UK and US

That's an odd presumption. I have nearly 56Gb of legally freely downloaded music from netlabels alone here, excluding music I've paid for.

I really like the look of this app, and need to do some stuff in black and white.

Thanks - got all three packs free a few minutes ago from the UK App Store.

I'm getting an error message on the second video: "This video is private".

feedly can add any blog if it has an RSS feed. If your blog has one, anyone can add it.

Re: Instagram, Pinterest, Aviary: The Social Photo Feud Heats Up

Baxter Tocher — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:26:50 -0000

The phrase "making it impossible to embed Instagram photos in tweets" is incorrect. Users can continue to embed Instagram links, just like any others. The ability of Instagram photos to be shown as Twitter Cards has been removed *on the twitter.com website*, but not everywhere else. And even for those that insist on using twitter.com, there are ways to replace this functionality. For example, on the Chrome browser, the InstaTwit addon brings the the Cards back in a heartbeat: https://chrome.google.com/w... There may be others - I haven't checked. But this one works just fine here.

Gorgeous, moving, and perfect. Thanks for sharing this.

Re: How to Play YouTube Videos and Playlists in VLC Media Player

Baxter Tocher — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 11:25:40 -0000

This works well, thanks. Do you know if there's any way to get the VLC player to automatically show YouTube videos in their highest available resolution?

Re: The cookie law is dead, you’re welcome

Baxter Tocher — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 08:04:19 -0000

I'm really confused about what you're saying you've achieved here. The shift to "implied consent" hours before the law came into force meant that the ICO wouldn't take any action. And... they're not taking any action. Am I missing the point somehow?

Re: Is Facebook Next for the Twitter Service Chop?

Baxter Tocher — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:30:37 -0000

I agree with what you say - the two networks are very different, and should normally be kept separate, But I wonder how Twitter will be able to prevent the Selective Tweets app on Facebook from reading a user's Twitter output and posting it, when nominated, to FB. It does have value in making the user consider tweets carefully before crossposting them.

Re: Facebook’s Silent Email Switch

Baxter Tocher — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 07:39:45 -0000

It did change my primary address to the Facebook one, and I wasn't happy about that at all. It's not as if @facebook.com is really email, but even if it were, I'd still have been angry.

Can't you move it back, then?

Childish behaviour like this from the Labour party will not endear them to potential voters.

I commented because the headline is completely misleading.

My MP3 files aren't blocked in any way. I'm happy.

Re: Own an iPod? Then you're suing Apple

Baxter Tocher — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:56:33 -0000

I sure did read it. I don't live in the US, so it doesn't apply.

Re: Own an iPod? Then you're suing Apple

Baxter Tocher — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:54:01 -0000

Do you have to use iTunes for that? You don't on Windows, though I can't vouch for Macs.

Re: Own an iPod? Then you're suing Apple

Baxter Tocher — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:42:13 -0000

I don't understand your comment. I use an iPod, and I don't use iTunes, to put the music that I bought from eMusic, onto it.

Re: Own an iPod? Then you're suing Apple

Baxter Tocher — Thu, 10 May 2012 15:33:46 -0000

I'm suing Apple? "All persons or entities in the United States..." Hmm. I'm *not* suing Apple. [EDIT: To clarify: I don't live in the USA, so I'm legally outside the conditions of the suit. And I can't buy from the iTunes USA store anyhow, so even if I was eligible (which I'm not), a $5 coupon isn't worth the electrons it's printed on...
