Not sure why it matters so much to you, but for the record, most managers in google are also software engineers. John's earned that title, let him use it.

I think you are missing the key point: Apple wants people to use their fancy devices more , not less. You spend this money on this awesome device that does awesome things, Apple makes money when you use it (via iAds, via google searches, v

Also think about what you'd do with the hay once you manage to somehow collect it. You'd have all this hazardous waste that you'd have to end up burying or burning. Sounds like the existing boats + tools they have work fine for cleaning it

This blog post is very misinformed. "YouTube" did not take down the videos. The copyright owner requested that they be removed. The blog post seems to think that YouTube/Google should fight for the people who created/uploaded these parodies

As I understand it, every website you visit goes through Opera's servers to be compressed + processed. Isn't this a privacy issue? When Chrome came out and started doing query suggest (and sending your typing to google, etc.) people got all

On the other hand, I bet google's CDN has better uptime than your server does.

So then by this reasoning, YouTube would be ok if they allowed any content and not just videos?

The player doesn't let you change video size/quality, so you might be seeing the lower res versions.

"Parallels does not have updated video drivers from Apple" Parallels doesn't run in a browser.

by tensafefrogs 17y ago
Your first point doesn't make sense, considering jd said "if Apple allowed browser plugins to move video-decompression out of the CPU too, then that would be great." Flash can't use hardware acceleration until Apple adds support for it to t

by tensafefrogs 17y ago
So you are suggesting the Flash plugin starts up an instance of windows so it can utilize the hardware acceleration? The issue here (with the 10.1 hardware acceleration) is that it requires updated video drivers, and Apple controls those dr

You say that like "video" and "games" aren't a huge industry.

by tensafefrogs 17y ago
They can, but then they have to hand the result back to the browser to render, which can be slow. Check out the new stuff coming in flash player 10.1, which will have some hardware acceleration, BUT not on OS X because it requires updated v
