Bloody annoying auto-starting video.

From the guidelines:

  > If you submit a link to a video or pdf, please warn
  > us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title.
It even should be written [auto-starting video] in the title
[spam] could also be nice
whats wrong with this world? no ones forcing you to qik...
What's wrong are Twitter, Facebook, YouTube… All centralized network-effecting black-holes which keep the logs.

The basic idea of qik (sharing or publishing from your phone computer) is awesome. Its realization (giving your data to Big Brother) is dreadful.

Sadly, in the real world, Roy would run out of bandwidth after streaming his hyperactive chihuahua and none of the rest would happen.
Wait for Eben Moglen to free the spectrum, and the bandwidth will get past the chihuahua.
