I took a look at his Javascript code, in the "HTML" example, and it was far from as well written as it could be - I could easily do the same effect with a whole lot better framerate. I am not sure how fair a test this is.

How? Whatever does Google Search have to do with YouTube? Google Search is not affected in any way what so ever by neither Google's nor Mozilla's love or hate for h.264. Also, YouTube is fully enjoyable with Flash. No matter how I twist and

Gruber nails it again. Mozilla's hypocrisy is as always overly evident. Their stance is fuelled by sheer greed, obviously - it's about money, about them not wanting to cut down on their yearly economical influx, not about being "open and fr

I've always had the opinion that "engineer" is what the americans call a programmer. I also maintain that the largest reason behind the increasing and worrysome trend of downright lousy and inefficient software is due to it being "engineere

What a stupid, contradictive, misleading and deceitful reply from Mozilla (surprised? they are after all interested in stuffing their pockets). And, yeah, I _will_ stick to my ideals: good video; H.264. Please stay out of HTML5, Theora. add

In 1999, when I was 19 years old, I started working at a "web buraeu", as we called them in my country back then. I did html, asp, php, graphics, design. All that. A jack of all trades, sort of, as I've always been talented with pretty much

Creatine supplements for meat-eaters increase physical stamina. It's one of the most sold products in "power sports" along with protein supplements. Ask the jocks to get the word from the horse's mouth, then tell me they too suffer a Creati

But, I never argued that they benefit better with Creatine. You haven't read my posts. And just as vegetarians get a boost from it, so do meat-eaters, who also perform better when supplementing Creatine - ask 10 athletes (body builders in p

I don't like how the author of the article angles the irresponsible actions of those in charge of the factory, as being the fault of Apple and Nokia. There is a consistent tone of "Apple/Nokia uses illegal chemical n-hexane in factories". S

I consider it just a small leap in logic compared to your knee-jerk parallel regarding money in the wallet. We know that increased oxygen in the blood speeds up healing of damaged tissue - this is why you get a tube up your nose blowing ext

I just don't see where you are going with that text in the context of Creatine production. Vegetarians HAVE Creatine in their system, fully produced by the body. They just don't have the same amount as the meat-eaters, __because red meat co

Just thought I'd add this... Creatine is naturally produced in the human body by amino acids. Just because you're a vegetarian, it doesn't mean you suffer a shortage of the particular amino acids required for producing creatine. Most vegeta

but we have to have more 3d. 3d is the current immersive property for a richer viewer/user experience. and this needs to expand even to pie charts. the next thing will be to add smell to the pie charts - so that they smell like pie.

the guy seems overly obsessed, almost zealous, about sub-pixel aliasing, as if entirely oblivious to OLED technology, thinking that LCD panels will be the around forever.
