    This is exactly what will happen if google pushes their webM. You think copying that is hard not to do, it's very easy to cross video and picture patents.

    It is still beyond me why ANYONE would base ANYTHING on the joke that is Java. Google developers should know better, and especially for an embedded product.

  • Marcus Yam the creator of this article.. you really might want to look for a new day job. This article broke light last week and IS NOT TRUE. Funny your great reporting skills seem to have forgotten the right story and just went with the speculation that came first. This is the first time I have seen this site tomshardware, but based on there writers I will never be here again..
