Do people actually listen to stuff like this?
If you can’t provide a transcript, how about a 200-word summary? This is the Web, not radio.
It probably starts with about 2 minutes of worthless intro. Then, about 3-4 minutes later, maybe some actual content. Or, I could be wrong. I’ve never bothered to listen to audio on the Web. Seems like a complete waste of time, but I’m willing to bet I could read whatever you have to say in about 1/20th of the time it takes to listen.
#1: You’ve never heard of a podcast? You don’t realize there are many thousands of them available through websites, iTunes and elsewhere?
Perhaps it’s time to go back to your Victrola and newsprint and leave these new fangled computing devices that actually receive information over wires and the air to the rest of us.
Get off of my LAWN!
Is the Mac Mini meant to hooked to your HD tv? Maybe.
Yes I’ve heard of podcasts. Just because there are thousands of them doesn’t mean it’s an efficient way of communicating. I’ve even listened to some. Without exception, they are boring and slow. Give me written words any day.
My last year’s model of Mac Mini had HDMI. In fact, I just bought a cable to have it go direct into my Stereo Amp with a pass-through of the video going to my HD TV. The Apple iTouch and iPhone have a remote APP that lets me control the Apple TV and volume on music playback if I use the HDMI, rather than standard RCA jacks.
OK, John, you might have to upgrade your old 25 year-old cable system if you want to keep up.
You’re startin’ to sound like an old dog. What happened to the bleeding edge Tech Guy I used to know?
I agree with #1, I can totally read a lot faster than the pace of a podcast. I sometimes resent having to listen to a show that is not available in written form.
However, reading forces me to be sitting down and requires my undivided attention. I like to walk a lot, and I can listen to a podcast while I’m walking. I can read and walk at the same time, but that is very uncomfortable, I need to mind where I’m going and obstacles on the street.
Also, think about people who use the car a lot, sometimes driving for as long as one or two hours just to get home after work. You can’t drive and read at the same time.
So the compromise here consists in listening to podcasts while on the move, then reading text when the conditions are appropriate for reading.
