Miro Video Converter

Miro Video Converter is available at the Mac App Store.

I was looking into converting some videos into Google’s WebM format for comparison purposes. I first downloaded theWebM QuickTime Component from WebMProject.org but it never worked. Miro Video Converter turns out to be the one I need to create WebM videos for now. It is loaded with preset video format for quick conversion. It supports formats for Android Devices, iOS Devices and WebM among many.

Miro Video Converter is available for Mac OS X and Windows.

The Apple and Sony eReader plus Amazon Kindle App Drama.

Following the fallout of Sony eBook Reader App rejection, many speculates that Apple would axe Amazon Kindle App from the App Store.

What is Apple’s angle here?

The sensationalistic headline from Ars Technica might start another mini revolt against Apple, as usual. In a short time we all would forget this all ever happened and everyone would be none the wiser. Apple will not remove Amazon Kindle App from the App Store because there is no good reasons to.

Today’s word is: Irony

Family Guy introduced new character Joyce Kinney the episode “Excellence in Broadcasting” as the replacement to Diane Simmons who was killed in the episode “And Then There Were Fewer.” The character Joyce Kinney is voiced by Christine Lakin.

So, where’s the irony? Get to the point!

Christine Lakin’s website is an irony in Web design.

Click on the picture for full resolutions of the screen capture.

Notice the nice iPhone design on Lakin’s website? It looks gorgeous.

So, I don’t see anything wrong with it. What’s your point?

Here it is:

Here’s another one:

The site is Flash-based! You can’t view the site on the iPhone while it has iPhone in the design.

Note to Christine:
Your site needs a new design.
If you need to complain to me in person, call Smart Entertainment (John Jacobs’ office) and show this to Mr. Turner. He can find me.
No, Seth McFarlane has nothing to do with this post or any writings on most Family Guy episodes. He got his own writing staff.
