Google Videos Makes Amends

A week after Google Videos* issued a missive telling users their content won't be available for playback after April 29 and download after May 13, Google Videos did a 180 and sent out another email, sort of conceding that they could do better and OK nothing will be broken.  So the demise of Google Videos is at least postponed.  I am still a bit disheartened that the original files aren't available for download; it's the converted FLV files that are available instead.  I understand it's not exactly a file storage service but I always think Google can and should do better than me.

*  Google Videos is confused from day one, it says video on email but on the web site it says videos.  Not a good sign.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
