Intel paid for a license and the parties involved are under an NDA.

Microsoft just needs to sell us a 3:2 small bezel normal-hinged laptop like they teased 3 years ago: https://twitter.com/sephr/stat...

That was Google, not Samsung. Samsung was upset when Google removed Adblock Fast (which isn't their own app, it's a third party dev's app) from Google Play, and actually reached out to Google to get them to reverse their decision.

Sorry, apparently I was wrong. Apparently they do have a fan (though I'm not sure if it's actually used), according to the disassembly linked below.

The Yoga 3 Pro doesn't have any fans. What are you talking about?

Unless it's a Faraday cage (though may be tricky to get it clear for in the windows).

Wouldn't it be handled by the GPU using OpenVG?

It's not asynchronous, as the "ajax" parts have to load a whole new page with a new request. Ajax without JavaScript or iframes is multipart/x-mixed-replace.

Unless you work for Apple specifically and signed the specific NDA that I'm talking about in the main post, there was no NDA until Apple says there was. The point is that without telling me there is an NDA to begin with, I would take their legal threats with a grain of salt. You don't have to legally assume that you know what the rules of a specific NDA are or that it even exists. If you had to legally assume this, it'd be illegal to pay for tips of rumors, which many websites do.

Your analogy would be closer to the scavenger hunt asking for the source code for the tablet's OS programs. My point is that Apple isn't even admitting that the tablet exists (or doesn't exist) so there's no harm in asking for something that doesn't exist according to Apple in the first place. The Coca-Cola company admits that they have a secret recipe that actually exists.

If this scavenger hunt is illegal, it would also be illegal for me to offer $10k to anyone who brings me the top-secret Microsoft Phone. For it to be illegal, Apple has to admit that there are specific NDAs stopping their employees from saying anything about their tablet. Without official confirmation of a specific NDA, there's no reason this should be illegal. I don't know that there could be NDAs for the Microsoft Phone, so why should it be illegal to offer a reward for it?

So plugins are always cross-platform now?! Plugins are programs for the OS which integrate with the browser. I think phantomcircuit and you are referring to (Firefox) add-ons, which are run by the browser and usually are cross-platform as they use XUL/XBL/JavaScript.

No, I just mean most tests. Google search for various Theora vs H.264 comparisons. Many of them show Theora having higher quality for the same bitrate.

That patent is probably invalid as a standalone video opened by a video viewing program usually auto-plays the video without the user needing to push play.
