Time for another Week in Review. We had a fairly regular week this week, with the focus somehow being Mac cloners, The Pirate Bay, Mono, and Browsers were also in the spotlight this week with the release of Firefox 3.5, disagreements on the video tag codec, and talking about KHTML.

getting pretty sick of the retard crowd going after apple because their favourite 'opensource' codec isn't going to be getting a free pass.
ignoring the bitrate to quality differences (hey, google even said this for youtube as for their reason to not even touch theora), what you people need to realize is playback speed of content going forward has to be taken into consideration (hey flash cpu usage sucks, especially for mobiles).
a big push from apple is to get playable content on mobile hardware. there are a ton of h264 dedicated hardware for dirt cheap while there is nothing happening right now or in the near future for theora decoding.
everything being made today has h264 hardware acceleration and the smallest devices can play HD content now.
i really don't see what mozilla can't include an h264 decoder, it's not like they don't make any money.
