Another stupid idea by the Firefox team, then.

Isn't there patents on GIF and JPEG? And the web is full of images in those two formats anyway.

I'm all for open standards and less patents, but H.264 videos and H.264 decoding hardware has been used everywhere for almost a decade now. Even if something free and open-source had been able to replace it, we're on the verge of switching to H.265 which is about twice as good as H.264.

That's why I know I'm safe. I use OS X, which is a closed-source OS. And since it's closed, the government doesn't have access to it.

I love the smell of bad logic in the morning.

You don't have to keep track of Firefox version. By this time next month they'll announce FireFox 40, with H.265 support.

Always really preview before clicking submit.

Can we finally use the the <video> tag with H.264 files and just forget about the rest?

It does prove, however, that the world is being taken over by pod people.
