    Wait, why did I say that?!

    Maybe TuurlijkNiet hates Apple.

  4. Re:Magnify where? on Nanoresonators Create Ultra-High-Res Displays · · Score: 1

    What I'd like is projectors so small and yet so powerful that I could project what I'm seeing in front of me so that other people around me could also see what I'm seeing.

    Cool funny rewrite of the ad while still being on-topic. Bravo.

    Here's the original ad, in case someone has been living in a cave with no internet access for the last few months and has never seen it.

  8. Re:Pirating n00b here... on MPEG LA Announces Permanent Royalty Moratorium For H264 · · Score: 5, Informative

    H.264 is the name of the standard.

    x264 is a free software library for encoding video streams into the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format.

  9. Re:Finally? on MPEG LA Announces Permanent Royalty Moratorium For H264 · · Score: 1

    Isn't the license for the decoder based on number of products sold? Since Firefox and Opera are free to download, would the decoder fees still apply?

  10. Finally? on MPEG LA Announces Permanent Royalty Moratorium For H264 · · Score: 1

    Now can Microsoft, Firefox and Opera finally add H.264 support to their browsers?

  11. Re:Further... on 25% of Worms Spread Via USB · · Score: 1

    Actually, 25% doesn't sound made up at all. They tested four USB drives.

    And the abbreviation for Veridian Dynamics is VD. Don't wear a belt buckle with huge "VD" letters on it.

  14. Re:I take several short naps a day on Digital Devices Deprive Brain of Needed Downtime · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's because his boss also had a script, which tested the updates to see if they included meaningless management buzzwords in a vaguely sensible format.

  15. Re:Codec on Video Adverts On the Printed Page · · Score: 1

    The cost of playing back OGM or VP8 in software would require costlier hardware (more powerful CPU required) and would lower the playback life of the batteries. It's less complicated and costs less overall to just go with MPEG-4 or H.264.

    Who knows, maybe it's even MPEG-1. Storage space for such a small and short video wouldn't be that high.

    Or maybe it's something else entirely and they're using an old CODEC used by videogames a decade ago. Let's say the one from Diablo II.

  16. Apple's response on Video Adverts On the Printed Page · · Score: 1

    Ads for content shown on the iPad will now arrive in your physical mailbox, in post-it form. Digital newspapers will have empty dotted rectangles where you can apply the ads of your choice.

    Hackers all over the world will attempt to re-use the post-its for other purposes, with limited success.

    When people don't understand what you're talking about, they assume stuff and then try to help you anyway.

    Tablets are perfect for watching porn.

    They don't have a mouse or keyboard, and their smooth touch screens can easily be cleaned after you're done with your... erm... personal enjoyment.

    You're not even going the right way. You should have turned left before. It's funny actually, when you think about it.

    Someday we'll remember this and laugh and laugh and laugh... Ohoh boy.

    Can someone write an app that links every app to each other, in a huge pointless loop that feeds information to itself?
