*ROTFL* i'm sorry -

http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/02/12/145257/MPEG-Continues-With-Royalty-free-MPEG-Video-Codec-Plans

i just hit "send", then went to read slashdot, mindlessly, and, irony
of ironies, _guess_ what just got announced by the very MPEG group i
just criticised?   plans to do a roooyalltyy-freeee version of MPEG-2.

... any SoC vendor want to be in on that, ahead of the game, by
implementing it in a suitable GPU, get to market *without* having to
spend $50m on a new IC?  tough titty - you're all critically dependent
on Imagination Technologies and all the other GPU companies, who will
make the money INSTEAD of you.  if they can be bothered.

 welcome to proprietary software hell, guys - you walked _straight_ in
through the gates, of your own free will.
