AMP

AMP?

Is it an audio manipulation program? No, not at all.  It is actually a new media player from Adobe.  AMP stands for - you guessed it - Adobe Media Player.  Although their name wasn't the most creative, the features Adobe packed into the application truly are useful and in some cases, original.

The program supports watching videos from online and from your hard drive, and downloading videos.  The installation on a Mac is easy as pie: Using the pre-installed Adobe software, it shows you 1 prompt, and downloads the app into yur Aplications folder on your boot drive.  It supports DRM and HD content, so everyone will be pleased.

Another thing that will certainly please is the wide variety of current and coming material. Content from publishers such as CBS and MTV Networks has already been posted, and material from Comedy Central and Spike will come in the near future.

If you haven't yet decided on a video management and viewing program, I believe AMP is a great program, and you should give it a try.

Flickr Unveils Video Sharing, But With Some Serious Restrictions

Flickr, the popular Yahoo! owned online photo-sharing app is finally embracing video- but not for everyone.  Starting late today (Wednesday) or early tomorrow (Thursday), Flickr will allow "Pro" Users to upload videos as well as photos.

Unfortunately, this video service has several drawbacks.  1) Only for Pro Flickr users ($25 annual cost).  2) 90-second video limit 3) 150mb upload limit.  Flickr is limiting upload size and video size so you will see nothing long and most likely nothing with a high resolution.  Although the addition to Flickr has its limitations, it can only add to the experience, and as Flickr wishes it to merely present a "Slice of life", it suits their purposes perfectly.

N.Y.C.'s Congestion Plan is Stopped- For Good

Micheal R. Bloomberg, the mayor of N.Y.C., had a idea that would cost everyone entering the city $8 if they were entering south of 60th street.  The plan, although it might have been unpopular at first, would cut down on traffic and pollution, and the money might go toward repairing some of New York City's roads.  If that weren't enough, the plan would also make millions of federal funding available to the city.

Mr. Bloomberg was very disappointed with the Democrats' decision to not even vote, and with the possibility of receiving around $854 million dollars a year to put toward cleaning up the city gone, so am I.
