“What I’d heard from ex-on2 folks was that there is some philosophical disagreement about how to optimize [encoder] tuning, and the tune for PSNR camp mostly won out.“ Apparently around the time of VP6, On2 went the full-retard route and optimized purely for PSNR, completely ignoring visual considerations. This explains quite well why VP7 looked so blurry and ugly."

"The Google Voice application replaces Apple’s Visual Voicemail by routing calls through a separate Google Voice telephone number that stores any voicemail, preventing voicemail from being stored on the iPhone, i.e., disabling Apple’s Visual Voicemail."
How does a 3rd party app prevent voicemail from being stored on the iPhone? I don't understand.
Ruby style blocks would have made the with_statement (and a bunch of other stuff) obsolete. In fact most stuff can be implemented from blocks (like decorators and generators) and not the other way around.
