The only reason you have hardware-based decoding with h.264 is because Intel/AMD/Nvidia were ask/told/paid to do so. If someone adds WebM hardware-based decoding, people will flock to it.
I was thinking of the same but we can't do that even if it was easily feasible a-la-Unobtanium. If the moon had a magnetic field it would either be attracted to or repelled from the earth.
IOW: The moon would eventually crashes into the Earth or we would have a "Space 1999" scenario where the moon leaves the earth.
If someone knows what is the centrifugal force on the moon keeping the gravitation force at bay are, I'd love to know that I'm wrong.
The choices are not there because the gov't is heavily invested into those 2 fucking companies.
Are you implying that we have gov't sanctioned conflict of interest?!?!?
We should complain using official Canadian Government stationary. Was it golf balls or napkins? (http://www.google.ca/search?q=%22golf+ball%22+napkins+jean+chretien+contract)
I for one look forward to the creation of this "Demolition Man" world where old people must swear in a public bathroom to get citations in lieu of toilet paper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrWcEGDXOUg) and nursery songs are the only songs allowed on the radio.
If it truly was a 2 party system then you would not be groped at airports by the government.
At best you have the Dems afraid of the insane Reps. At worst and most likely you have 2 sides of the same coin play fighting as if Washington was the WWE/WWF. and Corps are paying the Critters to "fight".
It's all bread and circuses. you can try to vote for a 3rd party but you cannot win. Easily-tampered electronic voting machines without a paper trail make sure of that. Then there's Florida...
It sound funny now but in a future when implants could be a popular as an iPhone, this could happen.
The only reason we see this ludicrous use of copyright is because the music business is saturated and is competing amongst other distractions (e.g. Internet, TV, sex, drugs, etc). As the competition increases, so will the abuses by useless middlemen.
This is just lowering the bar so that dumb people feel smart! This does 2 things: -Makes US High School Diplomas worthless (Hey, if the illiterate can get through HS, why would I want to hire one with a HS Diploma?) -Gives a false sense of confidence when they go to college.(Results: more drop outs)
But there's money in those downloaders pockets. A few laws and procedures are not going to stop "The suing rush". Pan-handling in the courts has worked well in a few courts in the states so it should work well in the UK.

Plane do have "accidents" ya know...
Look, I We're not to the point of ruthless dictatorship yet.
Are you aware of the "constitutional free zone" in your country?

These ex-execs probably own shares in and/or getting perks from Bell and Rogers.
Why ruin a good back rub?
-Imposition of "Democracy" by force e.g. Irak (helps enable profits for corporations at the cost of life abroad and $ for US citizens in Taxes)
-War on drugs (which helps drug and weapons manufacturers profits, while ruining lives of the common person)
-War on terror (which helps weapons manufacturers profits and removes freedoms for the common person)
-DMCA/ACTA or "war on music and art" (Prevents new works from existing that are based on old works, locks in profits for RIAA/MPAA/etc. indefinitely)
-Justifies torture in secret (Water boarding, sleep deprivation, "Black sites", during Watergate =>drugged MARTHA MITCHELL )
The USA is not the "angel" it was during WWII.

It's too late for competition when you have for-profit ISPs suing city owned ISPs.

The TSA is "security theatre".
If the TSA was to protect the public they would mimic Israel's Airline security practices.

Hint: there is no free prostate exam from them.
That might be what it was supposed to be at the start but the religious right got bunch of radicals inside it and now it's a laughing stock.
Sorry!
They have no other competitive issues because you can't power your house with an internet connection.
That is until Comcast/AT+T/Evil-ISP buys/blocks Eon.
Until you *cannot* be a content provider *AND* an ISP, Net Neutrality is going the way of the dodo.

Probably.
Google does not call their language "Java" and with GPL V2, copyright issues are moot
With GPL v3, Patents are moot as well.
Oracle has no case but they must press on or be sued by their own stockholders.

you damned buggy, I'll have to whip you. (So that's what they're for!)
Can this thing prevent covert, un-removable install of add-ons (e.g. .NET Framework Assistant)?
Does it set layout.css.visited_links_enabled to false?

Thank god for conveniences.
Otherwise Apple's bias would be obvious even to you.
Can you elaborate on why calling Julian Assange "Mr. Kryptonite"?
