I'm originally going to blog about the amazing opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic games on last night. But I just changed my mind as my good feeling is substituted with big anger!
Today is the second day of the Olympic games, I'm just going to checkout for the official means on watching the games via Internet. After all, I found that, i-cable is the only authorized company to provide the Olympic video online in Hong Kong. Hence, I visit the site and well, fail to watch any video clips.
The site shown that, Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 is required. Currently, I'm using Mac OSX as my primary desktop and I'm already installed the official WMV codec from MS website. And the sad fact is that, clearly MS Windows is prerequisite for watching the games. But hey, Olympic is the event of anyone on the earth, it seems now, Olympic is game for Microsoft users.
Nowadays, we can watch TV and listen to radio as long as you have working TV set or radio. But on the Internet, you must pay to one vendor: MS. Sorry I believe there is something wrong, what do you think?
