I'll reiterate what I told you back when we had this discussion in the past. Google bought On2 and developed vp8 because they wanted a codec they could directly adapt to their needs when it comes to their many services, with alot of effort spent on real-time video.

I mentioned Google Glass for instance, to which you retorted that Google Glass was 'vapourware'. Funny enough you then spent tons of posts trying to raise concerns regarding Google Glass privacy implications, you sure spend alot of time addressing vapourware.

It's almost as if you had an anti-Google agenda...



The guy with a username that references an utterly failed Apple operating system project might have an agenda?

Well color me surprised!


I don't have an anti-Google agenda. I just don't see why Google is actively trying to make life more difficult for consumers by promoting an inferior codec (in every way possible). I include Mozilla into that list as well.


Okay, then fork Chrome/Firefox and add mp3/h.264 support and see how quickly the lawyers circle overhead.
