Yep... same here! But I'm betting that MPEG LA now under
investigation by the DoJ were hoping hardware makers had just
remained sucked into their Monopolistic goals for the future.
Now the Microsoft and Apple Proprietary Software Vendors of
H.264 are about to see their fascist regime's own "Downfall"
(if you've seen all the clips on YouTube spoofing the fall of
some lame thing or another)!

What's really interesting is that all those Developers
Developers Developers MPEG LA were claiming, can't very well
fight against hardware vendors who only include VP8 hardware
decoders/encoders now. Unless they're that stupid, to just rely
on software decoding that is. But Apple and Microsoft, just may
be, so we'll see.

Having Samsung ARM only including VP8 hardware decoding in
these next gen chipa, sends a strong message to developers and
content providers that H.264 will fail to become the default in
HTML5. Because when the "Empire Struck Back", with their MPEG
LA Empire threats of lawsuits against the Free Open Source
Community.. the DoJ officially set them up to... FAIL!!!
haha.... leaving WebM open to now be the default codec in
HTML5. Despite their own asinine attempt to organize a similar
group for of Patent holders in VP8. That would have to include
Google. Leaving Apple and Microsoft to feel the BURN the
most!lol...
