I agree wholeheartedly; the greatest cinematic feat ever is clearly either the Star Wars trilogy or Braveheart (possibly Titanic or Catwoman)...oh, oh, I mean the odd-numbered Star Trek movies (or the even-numbered ones, I can't remember which were crap)...Yeah, it's definately that.
From the article: "On truthminers.com, mathematician Simon Nance calculated that in a mere three months of propagation, the email had put Microsoft, AOL, and Intel, individually or in combination, on the hook to owe 7.91 x 10111 dollars." So, the grand sum for three months is under $80,000? That's pretty dumb. It doesn't take a mathematician to figure out this article is total crap. The actual figure from truthminers.com is "close to $226 Billion times 3.5 googol". Now that's exponential growth.
Broadcast International has a product called CodecSys which they claim optimizes video transmission. From their press release at http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040520/lath102_1.html:
"CodecSys cuts bandwidth significantly for full-screen, full-motion video including HD quality under 3 MB, DVD quality at 512 K, and VHS quality at 256 K."
