When clueless podcasts attack

When a member of Hampshire LUG pointed me to a “security podcast”, I thought I’d have a listen. Ben Chai chats to Peter Woods “about a Microsoft Vista vulnerability” but in fact spends pretty much the whole podcast trying to goad Peter into slating the security update process of Linux distributions. He does this quite, quite badly.

The podcast is in bold italics. My comments below.

Multi-lingual Video and Audio

At the Ubuntu Screencast Team we have made a few screencasts in English.

We’ve been approached by people whose first language is not English with a view to translating these videos. With little thought I suggested that someone send me a .srt caption/subtitle file and/or an audio file for their native language.
