Is Google's open-source advocacy a patent-busting scheme?
,----[ Quote ]
| If true, The Register's question--"Is Google spending $106.5m to open source
| a codec?"--calls up a different response than the author of that article
| gives. Maybe $106 million is cheap compared to the cost of getting hit with
| video compression patent suits (from Microsoft, Apple, and others), if Google
| open source's On2's video compression codecs.

Is Google spending $106.5m to open source a codec?
,----[ Quote ]
| As is typical of Googlespeak, this tells us close to nothing. But if you also
| consider the company's so far fruitless efforts to push through a video tag
| for HTML 5 - the still gestating update to the web's hypertext markup
| language - the On2 acquisition looks an awful lot like an effort to solve
| this browser-maker impasse.

Can Anyone make the White House streaming work?

| I go to the url for the White House meeting going on right now, and nothing I

| one thing. But if it is everyone who isn't using Microsoft products, that is
| something else.

IE is like malaria, says Mozilla VP

| In a lengthy discussion about the forthcoming Firefox 3.5, Mike Shaver
| explains that he finds a resurgent browser division at Microsoft a
| compliment, and insists that all he wants is a fair fight â where browser
| choice is about suitability and choice and not defaults.

First results of Electrolysis, multi-process Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| A few weeks ago, Mozilla announced Electrolysis, a new project that aims to
| make Firefox a multi-process application, with separate processes for the
| user interface (chrome), each tab, and plugins, in order to provide higher
| stability as a a problem with a plugin or a certain web page wouldnât bring
| down the whole session; higher performace, as todayâs multi-core processors
| can handle multiple tasks at a time; and stronger security, as each could run
| on different security contexts.
