The old codec cannot use new encoding techniques, unless a time machine is involved somehow. For H.264, it looks like 2028 is the year to celebrate its freedom from human bondage, so unfortunately there is still a lot of time left. If governments are going to issues patents, they also have an obligation to control licensing and pricing to avoid this kind of abuse.
Like the previous response said, this particular thing isn't a product. But you are right. Long term is not in Google's lexicon. That is 19th century thinking to all the new money flying over our heads. Their products last about as the bubbles in boiling mud. BUT! Mail is still up. Despite all my ISP's ownership changes, I can keep the same email. Actually for long term, AOL is the way to go. I have a 25 year old account, but can't remember the damn password.
We know nothing of the sort! We do not know who to trust. For all practical purposes there can be none. Everything is up for grabs. All bets are off. Yous takes your chances..
You know what would be cool? If people who buy stuff formed an organization where they could rate products and post prices on a public forum. Probably best to have the government do it so it doesn't get bought out by some hedge fund guy and dismantled. Then we could have one stop window shopping and everything. So many problems can be avoided if we could only communicate more effectively.
...ou'd like to see the Obama Administration sink the same level as the Bush Administration when administering justice?
He passed that level a long time ago. The bankers he has in his cabinet should be in jail. I am surprised the revolving door hasn't spun off its hinges.
How about we make this about anyone breaking rules, D or R, gets punished.
You simply cannot, not without bringing down the entire system. It is the very foundation of wealth/power. The bible passage speaks the truth: *Let the first who is without sin...*
Let's not worry about Hillary. I'm sure she prefers to take over Kissinger's spot anyway and work the next six presidencies at the state dinners, and she won't have to deal with the press.
Laptops do not have a hard wired switch, and with some, you can't remove the battery. The only way to know it's off is by letting it run down, but the good old CR2032 will keep everything on 'standby' for you for years:-)

Can't we just wait 20 years, and then use the codec?
Multirotors are horrible! I prefer single rotor
Let's start growing brains in jars.
More like how many toxic elements are included...
Yeah, the Roundup will kill you first.
No! It is pure FUN! (Fissures, Ulcers, Nuclear particles ripping apart your very being!)
Yeah, I heard about that.. What is Kobe's beef?
Crops from this particular area are undoubtedly better tasting than any other food in the world?!
Um, I would have to.... Oh.... So sorry...

Sure.. At my age what could happen to me now? But nobody under 50 should get near it.
Yes exactly, these people can't touch each other without bringing the whole house down. The dance they do is quite the spectacle, no?
Relaying is a form or retransmission. It doesn't have to be over the radio.
Yes, with a gun you can create your own reality, and make everybody else believe also.

That's entertainment... Buyer beware...

They are crazy and regard themselves as heroic. They do not understand why anybody would be against them.
No, Lieberman is obviously Palpatine...
gotta grease the squeaky, er.. *cough* Yeah, and the people who made stairways, paved tarmacs, and cheap podiums definitely had it in for Ford.
But I wasn't an assassin, I swear!
This is why we have elect Trump! He'll clean up this mess...
