A Dark Night.

The news about shooting at a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” broke a bit after Midnight, July 20th, 2012. According to reports, 12 people died and 58 others wounded.

Some are quick to point their fingers, blaming the movie itself. Blaming a movie for violence is the same as blaming a song for violence.

It was one dark night for moviegoers all around the world.

Software Updates: Handbrake and VLC

Handbrake 0.9.8

We’ve decided to push out another release to fix some bugs that cropped up with 0.9.7. This includes all the previous fixes for 0.9.6 including the new AppleTV3 preset and updated iPad preset.

VLC 2.0.3

VideoLAN and the VLC development are proud to present a minor update adding support for OS X Mountain Lion as well as improving VLC’s overall stability on OS X. Additionally, this version includes updates for 18 translations and adds support for Uzbek and Marathi. For MS Windows, VLC 2.0.2 remains the latest release.

Nexus 7, The Arrival.

UPS dropped off a package at the office about an hour ago. Well, it is a relatively small package. Yep, it’s the Nexus 7. I promised that I would’t be doing any unboxing stuff, so I won’t. In addition to that, I still have a few things to work on. I’ll save the Nexus 7 for later tonight.

Nexus 7, The Wait.

A lot of people have received their Nexus 7 on Monday July 16th, 2012. I on the other hand would be receiving one sometimes later today.

My colleague suggested we all should go to Pick Up Stix for lunch today and we did. Then I get this fortune:

A small lucky package is on its way to you soon.

Well played, as long as this Nexus 7 is in a relatively small package.
