Rip your DVD's to you iPod

I don't own an iPod so I can't really use this Handbrake — previously known as MediaFork — tool, but others might. So here's a link:

Forbes compiles rather strange list of 25 web celebs

Lars K Jensen — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 18:36:32 +0000

Forbes has created a list entitled "The Web Celeb 25" about — you guessed it — the 25 most known celebrities on the web.

Have a look at it to see what you think — I'm not to crazy about that list.

Although there are some good guys in there (Robert Scoble, Seth Godin, Glenn Reynolds, Michael Arrington and Om Malik) I'm especially startled over the top of that list.

A YouTube girl and a celebrity gossip blogger? What happened to the guys that made this whole internet thing happen in the first place, as Scoble also notes.

Maybe it's just this whole "celebrity" thing I have something against…

Instead you might want to have a look at the People’s choice Web 25 list.

A European charter for online movies?

Apparently the European Union has just announced a "European Charter for Film Online endorsed by major industry players".

This sounds quite interesting.

In the press announcement it says:

This Charter – the first of its kind in the world – identifies the preconditions for enabling content and infrastructure providers to make film online services a commercial success. The Charter will serve as reference for future commercial agreements as well as for a broader Content Online policy of the European Commission.

I haven't read the charter yet, therefore I'm unable to write anything about its content.
