I think you missed the "worth watching" and "Canada" part of my reply.

Go ahead, search for Stargate all you want. In fact, search Stargate, Seinfeld or even older shows like Cheers. I think Netflix Canada only has 10% of what you get in the USA. And not the good 10% either.
If you think the Netflix selection is atrocious (assuming you live in the USA) then never look at what they offer us up north (Canada).
I'll have watched everything worth watching before my free month is over. And at the rate they're adding worthwhile things to watch, I should be able to pay a single month in about one year to catch up on their list.
To be fair, the licensing rights in Canada are even worst than in the USA. I bet Netflix isn't to blame for the poor selections in either countries.

So, if Google adds WebP support to WebKit, does that means that Safari (on Mac OS X, iPhone/iPod touch/iPad and Windows) automatically gets support for it?
We don't have to wait for Microsoft to support it, we only need people to stop using their browser. It's not like there's no free alternatives to Internet Explorer either. Not to mention that IE9+ isn't even available on other operating systems or even older Windows versions.
And I find it sad that Google didn't think of adding that to their new format. It would have had the compression power of JPEG combined with the alpha goodness of PNG. It would have been a new powerful tool for making Websites.
That's why Google needs to add a little something that JPEG cannot do at all: alpha channel. It would be rather pointless for regular photos but for Web design it would be a powerful tool.

Since these things run on batteries, I think it would be a DC comics themed OLPC anyway.

I still can't believe is not butter.
You should see the website of what the movie is about.
They should have pressed up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A instead.
It's sound, Jim, but not as we know it.
I don't know if it makes any noise, but it does feel like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped 'round a large gold brick.
Not to mention that we hear about similar stories every three to four months now.
This isn't news at all.
Once you stop driving there is no waste heat to keep the batteries at a minimum temperature. And batteries lose their charge in the cold weather.
Ask any Canadian, he'll tell you dozens of stories about regular cars and trucks not starting in the middle of winter.
Still a better chance of happening than an electric F-16.
Best car analogy explanation so far.
The television networks, of course.... D'oh!

Okay so they're planning on adding it later. There's no mention of that on the first page linked (http://code.google.com/speed/webp/).

I didn't see it at all, because the page in the first link (http://code.google.com/speed/webp/) doesn't talk about it.
The keywords here are "we plan to" and "in a future update".
So we may not even get it, and some software will get stuck in the "no alpha support" mode.
The recompressed one looks like it's been through a blur filter.

Seriously Google, why isn't there any alpha channel in your new format?
You had the opportunity of merging the JPEG-like lossy image format suited for photos with the PNG-like alpha channel and you didn't take it?
Shame on you.
The last thing the world need is yet another semisolid fat for food preparation.
Wait, what's the subject again?
