+ <p>In <a href="http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article243690.ece">an
+article today</a> published by Computerworld Norway, the photographer
+<a href="http://www.urke.com/eirik/">Eirik Helland Urke</a> reports
+that the video editor application included with
+<a href="http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x/#specs">HTC One
+X</a> have some quite surprising terms of use. The article is mostly
+based on the twitter message from mister Urke, stating:
+
+<p><blockquote>
+"<a href="http://twitter.com/urke/status/194062269724897280">Drøy
+brukeravtale: HTC kan bruke MINE redigerte videoer kommersielt. Selv
+kan jeg KUN bruke dem privat.</a>"
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>I quickly translated it to this English message:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+"Arrogant user agreement: HTC can use MY edited videos
+commercially. Although I can ONLY use them privately."
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>I've been unable to find the text of the license term myself, but
+suspect it is a variation of the MPEG-LA terms I
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Terms_of_use_for_video_produced_by_a_Canon_IXUS_130_digital_camera.html">discovered
+with my Canon IXUS 130</a>. The HTC One X specification specifies that
+the recording format of the phone is .amr for audio and .mp3 for
+video. AMR is
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate_audio_codec#Licensing_and_patent_issues">Adaptive
+Multi-Rate audio codec</a> with patents which according to the
+Wikipedia article require an license agreement with
+<a href="http://www.voiceage.com/">VoiceAge</a>. MP4 is
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Patent_licensing">MPEG4 with
+H.264</a>, which according to Wikipedia require a licence agreement
+with <a href="http://www.mpegla.com/">MPEG-LA</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I know why I prefer
+<a href="http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">free and open
+standards</a> also for video.</p>

+
+<p>I normally cut my hair short, and my tool of choice has been a
+common hair/beard cutter, bought in a electrical shop here in Norway.
+But the last ones have not really been up to the task. My last
+cutter, some model from Braun, could only cut a few of my hairs at the
+time, and cutting my head took forever. And the one before that did
+not work very well either. We have looked for something better for a
+while, but it was not until I ended up visiting a hairdresser that we
+discovered that there are indeed better tools available. But these
+are not marketed and sold to "regular consumers". The hair saloons
+can get them through their suppliers, but their suppliers only sell
+companies. The models they sell, are very different from the ones
+available from Elkjøp and Lefdal. The main difference is their
+efficiency. It would cut my hair in 5 minutes, instead of the 30-40
+minutes required by my impotent Braun. The hairdresser I visited had
+a Panasonic ER160, which unfortunately is no longer available from the
+producer. But I found it had a successor, the Panasonic ER1611.</p>
+
+<p>The next step was to find somewhere to buy it. This was not
+straight forward. The list of suppliers I got from the hairdresser
+did not want to sell anything to me. But searching for the model on
+the web we found a supplier in Norway willing to sell it to us for
+around NOK 4000,-. This was a bit much. We kept searching and
+finally found a Danish supplier
+<a href="http://nicehair.dk/panasonic-er-1611-professionel-hartrimmer.html">selling
+it for around NOK 1800,-</a>. We ordered one, and it arrived a few
+days ago.</p>
+
+<p>The instructions said it had to charge for 8 hours when we started
+to use it, so we left it charging over night. Normally it will only
+need one hour to charge. The following evening we successfully tested
+it, and I can warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a real hair
+cutter. The ones we have used until now have been hair cutter
+toys.</p>
