I really don't follow developments in the video scene that often, so I thought I'd ask. Is there really something about the specifications of the H.264 format that makes it better (or worse) than VP8?
Could it be that the difference in quality between the two codecs be due to the maturity of the encoders for H.264? Because if I read it right, it's been there for much longer than VP8 has...
Sure it's their app store, they should have control on what they put in there. But once I buy an iPhone or iPad, it's MINE. They shouldn't be able to deprive me of things I want to do on MY phone/device/appliance.
Why, for heaven's sake, should anyone dictate what I can or can't put in it? Destroying the user experience is a poor excuse at best. I should be able to keep my changes without fear that on the next forced update, my changes wouldn't just disappear all of a sudden.
Sure, void my warranty, whatever, but to actually impose restrictions as to what I put on my phone? Shit.
How they run their business is their business, but once the product is in my hands, Apple should just STFU about how I use it. If someone has to sue to get Apple off peoples' backs, then so be it.
It's basically because Japan has a HUGE pool of voice talent. They make hundreds of anime and interactive novels every year, it makes sense that they'd have decent voice acting.
Plus, how hard is it to say "ahn ahhhn, yamete kudasai!!" a hundred times over?
What I found more interesting was that as many as 22% of female players were lesbian or bi-sexual,
And that, my friend, is what makes them hardcore! I mean, how the hell would it be hardcore if there weren't lesbians and bi-sexuals??
It's in Jaunty. just do a:
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
I don't remember needing to add a PPA for this. It isn't the default firefox though... use
sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
to change the default browser for most apps.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
