Submission + - China Removes Cyberwar Video, Denies Everything (washingtonpost.com)
jjp9999 writes: "Anyone looking for the video clip showing the Chinese regime launching cyberattacks using script kiddie tactics was greeted with a message stating ‘Error Page — This page does not exist anymore,’ on the state-run TV website. The propaganda video, still available on YouTube, included a clip showing an unseen user launching a cyberattack against an Alabama-based website of the Falun Gong meditation practice. China’s Defense Minister told the Washington Post via e-mail that the video was ‘pure action of the producer,’ adding that the ‘Chinese military has never implemented any form of cyber attacks.’ The statement is the common line given by the regime after they’re tacked with launching a global cyberattack—including after GhostNet, Operation Aurora, Operation Night Dragon, and Operation Shady Rat were reveled."

...to hear a government official basically saying "calm down already."
No need to worry though Mr. Schmidt, the tech community can generally think for itself when determining cyber threats and the merits of related initiatives. We're certainly not waiting for the government to tell us how, when or why to secure our systems. You get your information from us, not the other way around.
"Mass hysteria" is reserved for those who give up their rights (TSA, Patriot Act, repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act, etc...) and rally behind a buffoon as soon as the corporate puppets in the US government fire up their fear mongering engines.
Got to love the irony of it though. A government official uses fear mongering to quell the fear mongering from the establishment that stands to profit most from a "cyber war." The military industrial complex was bound to incorporate the tech industry one day, I just I hadn't realized that day had arrived.
Greed, then religion, is the root of all evil. Now go and see Zeitgeist Moving Forward.
Submission + - Google To Drop Support For H.264 In Chrome 1
Steve writes: oogle just made a bold move in the HTML5 video tag battle: even though H.264 is widely used and WebM is not, the search giant has announced it will drop support for the former in Chrome. The company has not done so yet, but it has promised it will in the next couple of months. Google wants to give content publishers and developers using the HTML5 video tag an opportunity to make any necessary changes to their websites.
Here's the current state of HTML5 video: Microsoft and Apple are betting on H.264, while Google, Mozilla, and Opera are rooting for WebM. Although Internet Explorer 9 supports H.264, excluding all other codecs, Microsoft says it is making an exception for WebM, as long as the user installs the corresponding codec. Google developed WebM, but made an exception for H.264, until today's announcement. Meanwhile, Mozilla and Opera refuse to provide support for H.264 because the H.264 patent license agreement isn't cheap.
