Search engines are all about people looking to find stuff. A good portion of what people look for are probably new things that are happening now.
So, Microsoft goes off and designs a brand new "bet the ranch" search engine, without even knowing how its customers use such a service. Yes, that sounds like Microsoft.

Were the inquiries both of a similar nature during both of the time periods in question? Or were there more rejected requests because the requests were asking for more sensitive info? Like most things that originate on Breibart/Drudge, too much information is missing....
but when YouTube--the world's largest video repository--is mostly H.264, unless Google is willing to recode all those YouTube videos in Ogg Theora format, you can forget about Ogg Theora being widely accepted as the HTML 5.0 video standard.

You could say the same thing about FireFox's challenge to the Microsoft disaster known as Internet Explorer.
Yet FireFox has driven the web towards standards-based web design, instead of Microsoft-based web design.
And Google recoding the videos is little more than the mother of all batch jobs.
There are some who feel that a Flash consultant, author and developer may not be the most unbiased person to do a comparison test.

A report purporting to vindicate the performance of Adobes Flash plugin in comparison to open standards broke through the weak editorial barriers of the tech community yesterday. Its wrong, heres why..
The report was created by Jan Ozer, a proponent of Flash who makes his living selling books and seminars about Adobes technologies. The original article is even interrupted by an advertisement promoting Ozers Streaming Production and Flash Delivery Workshop.
After noting Ozers bias, one site commenting on it wrote, we dont think that [his bias] has any effect on the test outcomes [his report presented].
The problem wasnt that Ozer faked data to promote Flash; some of his findings actually indicate that even the early beta implementations of HTML5 beat the latest version of Flash in video playback tests. The real issue is that Ozer framed the debate around an absurd premise to shift the conversation from real issues to contrived garbage.
A press release of fake science
Coverage of Ozers press release uncritically reported his findings that certain browsers were no better (or at least not much better) at rendering video from YouTube via Googles experimental HTML5/H.264 site than via the standard Flash version of YouTube.
Ozer detailed only the reported CPU Utilization for his test Mac running Safari, Chrome, and Firefox browsers, and a PC running the same three browsers in addition to Internet Explorer. He compared the performance of Flash 10 with the latest Flash 10.1, and contrasted HTML5 playback on browsers that supported that as an alternative to Flash, not too subtly suggesting that HTML5 and H.264 were riddled with problems that inspire fear, uncertainty and doubt, while Flash simply works everywhere.
However, his results made no comment on the visual quality of Googles Flash vs raw H.264 implementations. Previous tests I performed indicate that Googles beta version of YouTube running HTML5 delivers raw H.264 video with remarkably better picture equality compared to the HD version of its Flash video for the same file. You can see for yourself by viewing anything on YouTube in HD quality via both Flash and HTML5.
Additionally, Ozer seemed to gloss over the fact that his tests really say next to nothing about the efficiency and performance of the Flash runtime compared to the use of open standards, because he wasnt testing Flash content rendering, but really only the playback of video data delivered via a Flash wrapper.
To deliver video, Flash really isnt doing anything special. Thats why browsers supporting HTML5 can do this themselves without needing something like Flash (or its doppelgänger, Microsofts Silverlight).
HTML5 savvy browsers like Safari and Chrome can also animate content and even (with a little more work) do the kinds of fancy interactive apps and games that Flash was originally targeted toward, all using open web specifications....
Of course I won't be getting that 1Gb/s from most http sites especially if they're in the US, just because they either don't have the bandwidth, are limiting per user or that you just can't deliver that fast from other countries - but the bandwidth is still available and will work 99% of the time to its full extend, provided you have the hardware capability

On the contrary, I have 6mbps internet service from Comcast. Downloads go at 700kBps or so, however, web browsing rarely tops 50kBps. Comcast insists there is nothing wrong, that it is my home network to blame, even when I told them I see the same throughput when I plug my 3GHz PC directly into the cable modem.
Why is web browsing on Comcast so stunningly slow? Why won't Comcast admit it and fix it?
It is not worth it. It is not my problem to solve and waste time on. It is WikiPedia's problem to solve. And, to be honest, I see little effort on the part of WikiPedia to resolve this issue.
Articles dominated by one or two "keepers" tend to be the most biased and lowest quality. Quality edits are tossed aside merely because they do not meet the agenda wanted by the keepers.
Tax Microsoft instead of the users. If Microsoft had a better architecture for Windows and did not strive for "features over security", then Windows would be far less vulnerable.
Tax those who exploit the security issues.
Make those users whose computers have been infected pay to clean the computer and pay attend a mandatory class on good computer hygiene.
OK, my bad. The headline should be Chrome finally catching up to Opera. But I should revise the rest of my comment to say that Opera has had this ability for years.

Can the IOC really claim an Olypmian's name as their own intellectual property?

It depends upon the contract that the Olympian signed in order to compete in the Olympics. My opinion is that the Olympians have to sign away everything but their first-born in order to be allowed to compete in the Olympics.
I no longer view the Olympics as an idealistic sporting event. I now view it as a viscous commercial enterprise that exploits the dreams of young athletes.

It is the customers' perspective that matters. Far too often developers think the world revolves around themselves. It doesn't.

Opera has had this ability for years, FireFox nearly as long.

Bugs are an error in the process, not the code. If you find a bug, you need to find the process error that allowed that bug to occur.
