This photo looks dark. It wasn’t dark when it came out in the phone and in the e-mail. (yeah, i’m lazy, i just snap the video-phone then email it then copy to C then upload to blog, no generational loss i am told cuz digital; easy and lazy.)
Dark. Let’s just say it’s a still from a film noir. A dark movie.
Well, it’s actually multi-media journalist Luz Rimban showing us the short cuts in Pinnacle, and Moviemaker (non-linear video-editing), I don’t think i would have any use for it (except perhaps knowing whether something has been tampered with and therefore not admissible), but i kibitzed (am i allowed to conjugate that) or made “usyoso”, because i wanted to see her gizmos. And Luz used me as model- subject, which is not good for me, because you have to do what you’re told by the person behind the camera, you don’t have control it’s the filmmaker who has control, it’s his/her medium, and control is what it’s all about. I’m blabbering, bye. (by the way, those programs are really VERY expensive; they’re even more expensive than the hardware. and there’s no open source. why isn’t anyone inventing a program for video-editing in the open-source accessible to tne entire human race.)

Dear Marichu,
Believe it or not you can buy Pinnacle nonlinear video editing software, and even better and more expensive stuff from Adobe and Sonic, in completely functional pirated versions in the major malls of Manila (100 pesos can easily buy you $100,000 of such software!)
Now you ask, why are there no cheaper versions for the entire of humanity?
It’s very simple really. The PIRATES have removed all the incentive for smart young Pinoy programmers for example to create such software. Why? Because you can already buy the best in the world for 100 pesos from the pirates.
Take for example the most common software used by all PC’s — the Windows operating system. You can buy every version of Windows XP and even Vista now for 100 pesos or less. That’s been true since Windows 1.0 in 1991.
Why would anyone (except Linus Torvald, inventor of Linux) bother to write a competitor to Windows (even if lots of AMA and STI hackers probably could)?
The Market Leaders are able to LOCK OUT competition because the Leftists in our society have convinced us we ought to tolerate Piracy as stealing from the Rich Countries and their imperialist multinational software conglolmerates.
Smart no?
