La famille Fortin et son bonhomme de neige
Oh My! is the personal space of Frédéric Lemieux. Oftentimes it contains random stuff seen or experienced, on the web or out of it. Sometimes it is insightful. It is rarely funny.
There's a lot of music, because, well, I like music. I may talk about food, but more often I will post my food.
I should blog more, I know. It's my problem.

How an iTunes-Lala integration will likely change the music industry… again
It’s no secret for anyone that iTunes bought Lala, last weekend - and did so at a ridiculous price, too.
I think that everyone realized what this could mean for the future of iTunes - the ability for user to pay for just the rights of songs they want - and not the data in itself.
The Wall Street Journal points out today another, more interesting matter, where an Lala-powered iTunes may mean that Apple has its mind set on a web application, to allow non-iTunes users - such as Linux power-users -, to profit from the service. Apple’s recent foray into other web service - such as mobileme.com and iwork.com - is certainly an indication on the matter.
Personally, I would probably not use such a service: my ISP does not allow me the necessary bandwidth to stream all the content I digest, and I listen to a LOT of music. But I’ve been wanting to experience lala.com since its inception, and finally I will. Probably.

Walk the streets of Pompeii, virtually!
This is great: Google Map has added Pompeii into its list of street-viewable cities - or shall I say, landscapes.
I never went to Italy, and plan to do soon, and Pompeii is way up there on my list of visits to do. One thing I realize is how well preserved these ruins really are. I saw thousands of pictures, but it just seems like none have captured the beauty of what can be seen here, while browsing through these streets. It goes to show how much more immersive a Google Map walk can be. Impressive.
I went fast through the double-clicking, because the magic needs to stay for when I visit these ruins for real. One thing for sure, I will have to atone for the amount of time I will spend there, after seeing these shots. Stunning.

Chrome extensions to work on Mac by end of week
Google expects to have their newly released Chrome extensions to work on the beta release of Chrome for Mac by end of week. Since its release on Monday, Mac users have been relying of a few tricks and workarounds to make the awaited extensions work on their beloved platform. Support for extensions should be rolled out natively for Chromium this week, with full extension support in Chrome - the official release - by early 2010.
On a side note, the number of Chrome extensions more than doubled yesterday, hitting the 480 mark (up from 180). That is incredibly fast. This is because “extensions are just web pages,” a Google engineer noted.
