http://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html Q: Is it perfectly alright to incorporate the whole FFmpeg core into my own commercial product? A: You might have a problem here. There have been cases where companies have used FFmpeg in their products

I'm sure they are committed to H264. But this is a case of providing a good alternative that's cheaper for all. This move supports their acquisition of On2, presumably technology developed for the theora codec would be useful in later On2

Neither. Google has a an interest in getting video to work on multiple platforms, it seems clearer that html5 will be the future of youtube. However Google's codec of choice does not work well on mobile platforms. Doesn't this make mobile

Perhaps "perfect" is not the adjective. Pretty sure this could be perfected in many ways. Inexpensive or quick maybe.

It's remarkable that the article claims reasons for copyright originally were not for the protection of authors, but for the control of descent spread by printing. At the risk of sounding like a nut, could history be repeating itself? Rul

Reducing the how ragged the right-hand-side is involves better spacing not justification.

Reading the text is made difficult by the spacing used. The paragraph headings for instance just look like bold text and could be spaced better to allow them to be found in the page. The ragged right edge is too ragged and makes the text

Although it's probably not the author's fault the typesetting of the article is dreadful too. Because of this the article seems less authoritative.

It's like someone said to a design agency "Imagine a world where everything is touch sensitive". Frankly I'm pretty sure that I don't want to sit down and my boarding pass in my back pocket sell all my stocks.

Is ripping your CD collection to play on a player theft or fair use? These proposals mark any file not bought from a marking service illegitimate and may be unplayable on the iPods of the future.

It tells you more than that: it's not an A9 and does not contain a GPU. So doesn't it dispel some rumours? What did you expect?

I disagree there's there's nothing wrong with wanting to raise web standards. More people should complain, we'd have a better web. Some sites still don't have encryption when entering credit card numbers.

It's interesting that Linux support is being withdrawn months after Linux was used as part of a memory exploit to break the PS3 security. PS3 machine owners could ask who owns the machine in their front room.
