Anybody who might be a party to a lawsuit regarding the publishing of the key should download that screenshot RIGHT NOW and keep track of it in case of a lawsuit. Make sure your lawyer knows about its existence.

You sir are very funny. Of course the GP was pretty much just asking to be rick rolled.

Now there is a fallacy...

Anything worth keeping is also worth fighting for. The problem is that a large number of people do not actually do anything to protect the things they value. If you want to see a world without patent abuse, you have to actively engage - donate to the EFF, call your Congressman/woman, educate people on the issues, buy some advertisements, etc, etc.

I would rather have an open codec used for the open web. I did find this move by Google to be a little odd, I am wondering if MPEG-LA called Google up and asked for money.

Hmm, I had the key to the gas pumps - I'm no pump technician. Of course our pumps still had mechanical dials and the max price of fuel was 2.99/gal...

The general purpose desktop market is going to start migrating towards developers and major power users (like graphic design), but the 90% use case for most people right now is surfing the web, checking email and playing flash games. All these can be accomplished with smaller, cheaper, portable devices like the iPad or whatever other tablets come out.

My condolences

I've been there, done that, have the t-shirt...

So, HP is going retro, they couldn't think of anything new so they re-invented the fax machine!

Invent! - they need to rethink that tagline...
