Who stores their photos on flash cards? That would be insanely expensive. Their purpose is to be portable which comes at a cost. Most people store their photos on hard drives.
5GB for a whole movie? Assuming the movies goes for 90 minutes thats 7.5Mbps.
That's only a little past the bit rate of the average DVD. Sure MPEG-4 is more efficient than MPEG-2 but when you take into account the high definition resolution (1280x960 or higher) there are sure to be visible artefacts.
I found the graphics very disappointing. They somehow managed to make it look and run crap at the same time.
This was on an AthlonXP 2000+ with a Radeon 9600XT.
It's too late for that now, Google already had thousands of Firebird related documents. Changing the name of the browser won't make the problem go away unless every web developer changes every reference from Firebird to Firefox.
In a couple of years with high detail geometry, procedural textures, normal maps, proper lighting, reflections and other shaders, texture maps will be rarely used.
RDF, DC Metadata, etc, is an extension of the current semantics defined by HTML.
What they mean by replacing tags with their semantic equivalents is using tags that convey the meaning of their content instead of just style. EG. replacing tag with and CSS.

After playing the rest of the maps I've changed my mind. The Onslaught map is a little slow but all the rest run great.

Would that make it a preview?
I think you mean DiVX not DivX (the CODEC).
Very informative, when I saw 25 KiB/sec on BitTorrent I just thought the author was a moron!

There's a tonne of CODECs with better compression than MP3. MP3 is an ancient piece of crap but at least it's supported by everything.
It should actually be written Kbps or Kb/s.
The K is always written uppercase. A capital "B" stands for Bytes and a lowercase "b" stands for bits.
Just writing "K" does not specify a unit. It just tells you that it's x thousand of something, in this case bits per second.
