Ah, I see. But they did make sure to improve the codec as much as possible within that time.
You make a good point about the patents, but I wonder how possible this is... A lot of modern patented encoding techniques might not even be used first in VP8, but just licensed...
They started a joint effort with Google to integrate Flash into Chrome and the new plugin architecture, which should get Flash running a lot smoother on ALL platforms (if all goes well). To be honest, I'm already noticing a difference in Chromium daily builds for Ubuntu.
Clicked "post" before I was done, oops. My point is, the spec doesn't define any sort of representational attributes to the tag. It is purely intended for clearer contextual information, which can be used positively in user agents. (Screen readers won't read the navigation section of the site, mobile phones can take just the article and view that in the best possible way, etcetera).
...The opinions in Google are starting to fragment a bit too much. So now Google has a department that prefers h.264 for web content, and a different department that'd gladly fund development Theora?
Reading the post, it seems a bit clearer they're just going for the "right tool for the right job", apparently.
Creating one, but not distributing, I'd guess. And when they distribute the "profile" or whatever they call the thing that would enhance the app, they're not actually distributing a derivative work of the original application.
DS Browser comes from an age before the Browser Speed war, so it's much slower than it could be, anyway. Heck, even the Wii occasionally has trouble with Flash (though those are more often memory-related than processing power-related).
I'd just like to be able to connect any of my old C64 (and as a bonus, possibly Amiga) hardware to it and just play the games without any extra hassle. Connect the 5 inch floppy drive, insert a disk, load it onto the computer and play (and/or generate into disk image)!
Since this product is in no way related to an actual Commodore 64, however, fat chance they'll ever do something like that. Bah.
Like docx is "MS needed a new document format, looked at ODF and made a butchered version based on that"? File extensions don't dictate "look what I use". ODF is an open format which means you're free to implement it in any office suite. And several that aren't OpenOffice already have.
Well, you need to consider when and where to replace a system. Replacing one that works well with one that might not have matured fully yet definitely won't come over well, especially since it DID work well before.
There is almost no code fragmentation in Linux when it comes to drivers. Usually, there's an open driver in the kernel, and a proprietary driver provided by the hardware manufacturer, and that's it.
On top of that, most laptop graphics drivers can't be updated with official drivers and the manufacturers don't ever provide updates.
Lie. Intel, Nvidia and ATI support laptop GPUs and have drivers readily available on their respective sites.
This is not *quite* a lie. In the past, I have encountered an ATI embedded graphics chip which would not work or even be detected by ANY official ATI driver whatsoever, even though the drivers would sometimes list similar compatible hardware. The only one that worked was the one provided by the extra CD-ROM I got with my laptop.
Sounds like the opposite of what Wine is doing (emulate Direct3D in OpenGL), which took a LONG time to do and is definitely showing a performance hit...
Besides, pretty much any driver for any modern video card out there supports OpenGL, why would they want to do this?
Besides your "point", they would have done that themselves if they could, while the article quite clearly explains they can't. Not without a whole lot of extra (wasted) effort, anyway.
This doesn't sound like a web page, it sounds like an user account. You know, like how sites like MySpace allows you to make an account and automatically gives you a "home page"?

Add more slashes and dots.
If you're being taught by someone, you'll learn a lot about the system a lot quicker than by being self-taught, though.
I'd say stick with bootable USB sticks - and offer a special boot CD (or diskette?) that boots the USB stick when they need it.
For some reason I read that as "WHAT NINE THOUSAND!"
Or ARM, or PPC, or, uhhh... Cyrix?
It doesn't have to! The iPad doesn't, either.
That's exactly what his character is supposed to be like, yes. His character, not his true self.
We can't help it if you don't like him.

You might be able to tell that IANAL.

The initial release for Theora was in 2004... May I ask how you came up with 2000?

Windows 7, I'd hope, or else you've been majorly ripped off.
