Ogg Vorbis For Hardware Makers

Posted by timothy on from the iriver-are-you-listening dept.

SerpicoWasTaken writes "CNET has a story announcing the release of Tremor. It's an Ogg Vorbis (Vogg Gorbis, Vogg Orbus, or Ogg [unintelligable] as pronounced by the various managers in my office) decoder that does not require a floating point unit and could herald the rise of Ogg Vorbis compatible MP3 players." Update: 09/04 21:00 GMT by T : Sorry -- this story's a dupe.

    "could herald the rise of Ogg Vorbis compatible MP3 players."

    Wouldn't that make them Ogg Vorbis players?

    This comment is a duplicate of another one in this thread. Why don't you posters read the other posts before hitting "submit"? ... While you're answering that question, I'll go get a soft drink. Ahh -- diet doctor pepper. Who would have thought they could improve on the original? But they did!

    What punishment should a slashdot editor receive for posting a duplicate story?

    • Stand in corner for 5 minutes - we want this on a webcam so we can see it!
    • A lashing with a wet noodle
    • Read all comments in the duplicate story (at -1 of course)
    • Install WindowsXP on unsupported hardware
    • Some lame CowboyNeal option

    What's so difficult to remember or say about "Ogg". Heck, Ogg and Ug were the vocabulary staples of the cavemen. If it was good enough for cavemen, its good enough for you!
