After reading the article, I found nothing new that I hadn't already learned by reading the books and papers already out by other authors like Edward Castronova and Nick Yee. I wish someone would focus less on explaining the what the concept is about and more on some actual case studies instead. In theory it sounds interesting, but who is getting it to work and what did they do?
But this is only a problem because gas is so cheap in the US. If gas was taxed properly to support infrastructure, public transportation and research on alternatives instead of subsidising it. Gas in Sweden is roughly twice as expensive compared to California.
They do have som good algorithms both in the QuickTime Player and the QuickTimeStreamingServer which if they implemented that in iTunes and iTV could get people playing shows, even over Wireless networks, to get instant play of their shows.
It will be really interesting to see how well it works, but I'm guessing that there will be a significant delay initially but in a future upgrade it will be gone.
I guess you guys saw, but just chose to ignore the fact that QuickTime by default does automatic resampling. And in the case of this comparasion it was resampled to 32khz, which OGG wasnt. What is the point of comparing frequencies that is gone from Apples encoding?

Yeratu
Swallow
Tires
I made these up of course, but to your average user, that's exactly what they'll see when they see:
Internet Explorer
Firefox
Opera
Chrome
What browser do you think they will choose? Hmmmm?
I want Swallow! Bring it to Mac too!

If it is wasnt in the lastest Darwin binary release (July 2001) but is in the kernel sources and they say that a new Darwin release will be with 10.1.
Then it will be there.
Ive heard rumors about it, but cant confirm it.
