You have not seen enough videos I guess. Theora is clearly superior to H.263. However it is worse in quality/bitrate than H.264. Vorbis is better than MP3 and comparable to AAC.
I doubt they would give him the prize without him personally collecting it, or doing public appearances, or whatever. The man has said already he is tired of the exposure and prefers leading a quiet life. He actually lived in the US for a time, but he did not enjoy playing the funding game, or the credit game. It is just that the things he treasures the most are different. Heck if you think Perelman is weird try reading about Diogenes of Sinope.
While you are correct that there is a lot of cane production in Louisiana as well (thanks for the link), sugarbeets have less productivity per acre than cane so I prefer to count by sugar produced.
In the US there are import tariffs on imported sucrose and subsidies to corn growers. What little US grown sucrose there is comes usually from Florida sugarcane. Unlike in the EU, sucrose from sugar beets is rare.
Who cares? This is awesome hardware! I mean large high resolution screen while still pocketeable, WiMAX, HDMI video out, microUSB, MicroSD, two cameras and Android! It's fantastic. This is IMO more major news than the iPad. No wonder Apple is suing HTC. Their current hardware cannot compete!
Not flippant. Merely accurate. Example: Ariane 5 is one of the most reliable launchers in the market today, but the first flights were failures. Delta IV Heavy, same thing.
I kinda doubt Nokia only has patents on GSM. Apple is also plainly spewing bullshit about object oriented graphics interface in a cellphone, since Symbian is written in C++ and has a GUI. Symbian is older than iPhone. Also, meet IBM Simon, presented over a decade before the iPhone.
Europe? Flat? Hah. I guess you never went to Switzerland. The US has a lot of flatland. The major problem is indeed population density and distance between urban centers. The US only has a couple of areas like that.
If the train is more loaded it needs to move slower. If a slow train is using a line, it bogs down the other trains in the same line. You can transport not quite heavy stuff, but more weight means no more high speed.
No need to bother. All that needs to happen is for someone to add CUDA or OpenCL acceleration to the codec playing and it will still be offloaded to the graphics card.
The price is going down because the 32nm manufacturing process is coming online at Intel. Smaller transistors means you can add more to the same die area, at the same manufacturing cost. Moore's law et al.

So you do not care about Linux in the desktop then? Fantastic.
That would be Parrot. Or even LLVM.
He's wrong. Python would fit in that category. As would several other languages such as Ruby.

That said I would take the money.
So... he's a college student?
Plus infrared and ultraviolet.

There are plenty of foldable bluetooth keyboards like the MSI BK100. They are about the same size as a phone when folded usually.

Hardly a problem. Windows update changes those drivers to manufacturer versions that do include OpenGL.

It's the XXIst century. All you need for the patent to be valid is to add "over the Internet" or "in a cellphone" and you are set.

Microchips.
Brazil went bankrupt doing that. They paid for it with hyperinflation for decades. Hopefully the Chinese aren't digging the same kind of hole.
Sounds kinda mercantilist right?
It is no defense against patents trolls, who sell no product of their own, as the Rambus cases make painfully obvious.
So no this project is not secret. It is an USAF project being handled by DARPA, but it is not secret.
H.264 is patented and might be submarine patented. Theora might be submarine patented.
