Google on VP8: 'We hope to start an arms race'
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's new open source VP8 video codec
| can't do DRM, so YouTube will still use
| Flash to play protected content (and to
| insert ads).
|
| In fact, says Google engineering VP Linus
| Upson, "DRM is fundamentally in conflict
| with open source and open standards
| because to do DRM you need secrets".

Steve Jobs: Unimpressed with Google open source video codec

Steve Jobs And Freedom: Ice And Fire
,----[ Quote ]
| The relation between Freedom and Apple is
| like that of fire and ice. They cannot co-
| exist.
|
| Steve Jobs reportedly had an email
| exchange recently with Gawker Media's Ryan
| Tate. Gawker Media is the blog firm which
| owns Gizmodo, the blogsite that bought
| published photos of a lost iPhone
| prototype.
|
| I cannot comment on Gizmodo's iPhone
| stint, or Tate's intentions behind his
| email to Steve Jobs. However, I do care
| what Steve Jobs says; many people take his
| word seriously.
|
| Steve Jobs reportedly replied to an email,
| "Yep, freedom from programs that steal
| your private data. Freedom from programs
| that trash your battery. Freedom from
| porn. Yep, freedom. The times they are a
| changin', and some some traditional PC
| folks feel like the world is slipping
| away. It is."
|
| That's not where freedom stops. This
| freedom is not even a grain of sand in the
| vast desert of freedom.
|
| Choosing Apple devices to get these few
| freedoms is like choosing prison to get
| safety.
