It's a shame this did not make it to the main page, I was hoping to read some input from the community. Did you have bad luck with the time you submitted the story, or so? During lunch hour? A lot of other submissions? I would genuinely hav

Interesting. This might be that added value that opponents of the current digital distribution model is looking for. Since you want this to be as widely spread as possible with the underlying concept attached to it, you might want to get in

No, they are probably not out to get you and me... Unless you fall into one of the "still to be specified categories". I guess my biggest problem is that there are questions begging for answers. I admit that I went a bit over the top in the

Worse yet, we do not even know how the license will look When skimming the comments on that page, seems there is something new, (as of yesterday): http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachme... [pdf]

The problem with these write-ups about how bad H.264 is (or will be in 2011) is that it will not reach the right people in time; the masses. The people who clicked through to an article with H.264 in the title already know about the ins and

I don't know, but a lot of you seem to disagree with him. However, this is actually a decent idea in my opinion. He makes an "okay" case in the post except that he ends it with some reasoning that Google should care about their image (pun n

His strongest argument to keep Flash relevant is "the coming HTML video implementations cannot agree on a common format across browsers" . Boy, they are in worse shape than I first thought. They will open source the parts they own of this

Am I the only one that find it a tiny bit ironic that he uses Google Analytics on that page? Probably.

I'm sure Adobe will open source the parts of Flash they own. They will just do it too late for it to make a difference.

I am guessing it is related to dereferencing. It seems Google agrees, it's also mentioned on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_%28C%2B%2B%29#Relatio... [snip]...consequence of this is that in many implementations, opera

Huh. I adore Stephen Fry as much as the next guy, I try to get my weekly dose whenever possible. But on page two of this post I had this distinct feeling that this was bought. Hell, I was scanning the page looking for some kind indication t

I bet it's more than 75%. I bet there are plenty of companies that send in patches from anonymous email accounts so as to not give away to their competitors what they are currently working on.

Paper imitates digital! The idea is clever and it's a little surprising how no one did this before, especially when considering how much about reading maps consists of folding the damn thing! I've been cursed at more than once because I did

I agree with you, but a few minor points: Flash managed to evolve with the bandwidth (and came across as sexier than Java Applets) and by doing so more and more users had it installed and eventually it got to the point where you "just could

Wow. I don't have much to add to the article, but I must say that was an interesting read! I am curious about the security considerations they have taken with the employees that work with the ATM on location. I mean there is a connection to

I do think it is recognized. The biggest problem with these things is not parsing source code and output something else; you get the real pain when you're going to debug. :)

I consumed this article with much enthusiasm. It was filled with information and still very easy to read. My immediate thought though: I wonder how much battery-time you would gain by making the device monochrome (black/green) when you just

The page is trying to render something from my LAN in an IFRAME. It does not look malicious, just a silly mistake. Boy, how I love thee, NoScript! (the url: http://192.168.0.164:8581/feeds/PopularSciencehtml/PopularSc... )
