That is gross! In Hungary I pay $10/month for unlimited data plan. Well, it is an enterprise price plan, but still. After 2 GB mobile operator may limit bandwidth to around 1 Mbit/sec. However a friend of mine once had an insane amount of 200 Gb traffic in a month and he did not notice any degradation in speed, it was always well above 2 Mbit, sometimes reaching 5 Mbit/s. Verizon has clearly gone out of its mind.

I wonder why most people cannot spell Stanford University's name correctly.

Death spiral: exactly what I was thinking when I have read the title of this post. Coincidentally 'halal' means 'death' in Hungarian, so accidentally I read 'Iran developing death domestic intranet' :)

Brilliant! Now the person, who breaks into my apartment and steals my Macbook, no longer has to guess my password. He just takes the charger, and thus all my personal data with himself. What a shitty idea from Apple!

Sorry, I got the point. html5 video players use h.264 decoders that are most probably written in assembly or C, whilst this is a pure javascript based mp3 decoder.

We have already have html5 h.264 video players for more than a year. Why is it news that from now on we can not only play videos (with sound, probably in mp3 format), but even sound without video?

Seems like Americans must always sue everyone even if they are simply stupid. Would you also sue a knife producing factory just because you did not know you could kill a human with it? Hello! It's your responsibility!
