Publisher's Note: 不要惊慌!
It's the best advice I ever got.
It happened in grade 8 when I checked out, for the first time, my all-time favorite novel 的 Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and that counsel has stuck with me, even superseding "give every man thine ear but few thy voice" from Shakespeare's 哈姆雷特. Douglas Adams was truly a genius; he had the amazing skill of wittily bringing to light obvious points that people were oblivious to, or at least didn't consider often enough. I, for one really enjoyed the humor, the intelligent writing and of course, the whole sci-fi stage. 大多数我这个年纪的人, (especially in North America) remember him for his books, which actually were based off the BBC radio comedy series in 1978, which then eventually developed into the trilogy of five books selling the over 15 million copies, 在他的一生中. 最近, 4 years after his passing in 2001, the big screen version rings a bell with most people, but it's not the best representation of his work.
He actually had a larger influence than it might appear at first glance. He was friends with Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and, a left-handed guitarist himself, he played on the band at Earl's Court in London in 1994. He even named their album from the same year, 除法钟. Gary Brooker of Procol Harum was also close to Adams and the two had performed together; both Brooker and Gilmour played in tribute at his funeral. He was an active environmentalist and a huge fan of technology. An advocate of hypertext and a Mac junkie, 他是第一个, 故事是这样的, to buy an Apple computer in Europe. Along with other celebrities like Gregory Hines and John Cleese that Apple made into an "Apple Master," Adams was a spokesperson for Apple. As for contributions to the online video industry, he created a rock video with the first version of iMovie, 以女儿为主角, 波莉(顺便说一下, was born when he was 42) and a guest appearance by John Cleese. 的 movie used to live on his .MAC页面在这里: http://homepage.mac.com/dna/imovie.html, but doesn't seem to work anymore.
和 that's just it now, isn't it? Here's a video made on a Mac with an Apple video editing product, 生活在苹果服务器上, that for whatever reason can't be watched now (on the day of writing, it failed to play on an iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad2, 或iPhone 4S). That's exactly the fuss that we are all dealing with in the online video industry, more today in fact than in any years past. 的 bottom line is that as a reader of 流媒体, you more than likely have a tremendous amount of video content to deal with, an amount that's growing on an exponential basis, and have already invested a serious amount of dollars to make it work. You already know that when it comes to online video, you are going to need keep investing in your technology just to keep up, 更不用说成长了. From our annual reader survey, we see on average that your budgets are up 18% from last year for online video products and services to make that happen.
不要惊慌.
