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.

Thank you for the link - all I can say in response to the article is wow. I am truly shocked at the licencing - I thought the only thing that one had to worry about was simply the CODEC itself but given that broadcast fee's are going to kick in 2010, the CODEC is unaffordable for all but the large media empires. When one views what one would pay for h264, it makes Windows Media Audio and Video look reasonably priced.
I hope that Theora takes off; but I guess the only way is a strong campaign to get 'that codec installed' by way of propagating theora plugin for Quicktime.
