From where? That would mean I'd have to keep an up-to-date list of all the places to get the WebM codec for all the various platforms that my visitors might be using, if one even exists. I don't mind other codecs being supported through whatever framework is available to the user - but there should always be at least one common codec that can be relied upon being present, regardless of platform.
and it's worth noting that there are some concerns as to whether or not this standard would survive an IP infringement claim, making it less "free" than we're asked to assume
So basically what you're saying is that having one supported format that web developers can rely on being supported, regardless of platform, is a bad thing?

What, he doesn't have a secret lab in his bedroom?
Intel is not an acronym, you don't need to type it in capitals. Looks really odd.
I have one sitting on my desk right now. Although I ordered it on the morning of release, and it only arrive last week.
What'll really bake his noodle later on is that the most northerly point in Ireland is in the south...
No balloon has gotten higher than 53km. That's just half way there.
Is it bad that I keep misreading his name?
That's only 50% as good
Balloons can go quite a bit higher, the current amateur record is just above 40km. But even so, you can't beat a rocket for sheer style :-)
Good to see you've stuck to the site all these years...

Is "the Internet" really so difficult to say or type?
Spell check fail! I meant exaggeration :)
"Most" is a bit of an extradition. I've been in quite a few places about the country and there are very few.
The "good" quality also tends to be pretty poor because of the ancient encoding and seriously low bitrates.
I wouldn't have considered lunar eclipses all that rare.
because it's never their fault. Oh no.
A free codec better than MPEG2, but not as good as H.264. So they're re-inventing Theora?

The same applies to H.264.
I don't think it's a matter of them 'exempting' it, they simply can't do anything about source code.

Who's running these corporations? Millipedes?
I'm not sure you've thought this through.
It's life Jim, but not as we know it.
Surely you mean a thousand and twenty four season run?
