I've personally always thought of MPAA as the Who Wants to be a Millionaire of the Children's world. Popular at first, but quickly run into the ground by ITV, and now dragged on way too long as they don't have a clue about anything else to put in its place.
As for what I define as Media Player, that's basically anything from the Pre-WMP series 7 stable. The 'Windows' prefix on the name popped up earlier, but wasn't really heavily plugged in anything pre-v7, from which point on Microsoft started prefixing it to everything (Windows Media Video, Windows Media Audio, Windows Media Server, Windows Media Macro-defuzzifying-filter etc etc). Most likely, something to do with them trying to justify shipping their player as a 'core component' of Windows, similar to what happened with Internet Explorer all those years earlier. On a more technical level, it really applies to anything which plays through the standard Directshow filter layer now (I use 'Media Player Classic' for example for everything), its just 'Media Player' is a bit less complicated sounding than saying that.
Spangly new CMS? I wouldn't quite go that far, as it's likely going to end up only housing newer stuff, and not likely to look all that different to most current pages, just likely allowing me to roll-out updates quicker on big channel relaunch days and such. Of course, the fact I keep using the word 'likely' probably tells you of the amount of PHP code I have down for this so far...
Hmm, on the subject of PHP, perhaps I should apply for that Web Developer job in a certain city of mutual acquaintence Nini, then I could bug you on your doorstep daily, muah ha haaaaa!
