digital compatibility-based rivalry
Last night when I wanted to watch, “Firefly” on DVD, I loaded up Windows Media Player. But I also had my Verizon iPhone charging via USB at the same time. And for some reason, when I played the final episode on the disk, there was no sound playing. It was truly strange. I’m running Windows Media Player 11 on an XP machine and my iTunes is version 10.2.1.1, so things pretty much seem up to date. But when I unplugged my iPhone from the cord connecting it to my computer, and then restarted Windows Media Player…the sound WORKED! It was such a strange conflict. Why would an iPhone make it so Firefly wouldn’t play on Windows Media Player? Very odd.
I guess I should just be thankful that the two devices work at all together. It was just a relief that there was just a simple fix necessary. Because that last episode of Firefly was good, albeit quite disturbing. That show got super dark super fast.
