Submission + - Consumed media not disappearing

jakeroberts writes: I tried to consume some media on my mp3 player today. Everything started out just fine, I navigated to the track I wanted to hear, pressed play and was off. The song finished without a hitch and all was fine until I pushed the back button. Then, much to my horror the song I had just tried to consume was still there! I was horrified. People all over the internet have been informing me for quite a while now that I am consuming media all the time. Not one to quit at the first sign of trouble, I fired up my favorite RSS reader and tried to consume some news. I read several articles in an attempt to consume them but no matter how many times I read the lines they were not consumed. I am completely lost at this point, am I doing it wrong? Why have my attempts to consume various forms of media not been successful? I am I in error somehow or is the term “consume” being misapplied in an attempt to make me feel as though I owe a price for using it? --Jake

Lack of Manpower May Kill VLC For Mac 398

plasmacutter writes "The Video Lan dev team has recently come forward with a notice that the number of active developers for the project's MacOS X releases has dropped to zero, prompting a halt in the release schedule. There is now a disturbing possibility that support for Mac will be dropped as of 1.1.0. As the most versatile and user-friendly solution for bridging the video compatibility gap between OS X and windows, this will be a terrible loss for the Mac community. There is still hope, however, if the right volunteers come forward."

Journal Journal: Can a computer manufacturer force me to purchase an os?

I spent about 30 minutes this evening talking to some nice folks over at a major laptop manufacturer down in Texas. I want to purchase a Vostro 1510 with no operating system. They informed me this was not possible and that if I wanted the computer I had to buy the OS too. Is this true? I have read where Microsoft is compelled to offer a refund for the OS if you don't want it. Is this true? If so how big a hassle is it?
