It'd be nice if they got the name of the codec in question right. Also, I can't see Google making the WebM decision based on technical details, as it is technically inferior (although just). Rather, I quite believe them when they say they believe in and will fight for an open internet. Whether that's a good decision for them as a company remains to be seen, but it's quite clear they won't hurt themselves as badly as Apple did with PowerPC.


I do wonder if Intel would have built a vector unit if the G4 hadn't existed.


Yes, they did. MMX predates the G4, and SSE came out the same year.


Yup. I remember buying a 200 Mhz Pentium 1 (pro?) w/ MMX back in the day. 3dfx made the improvement in 3d graphics kind of moot, but it was there.
