  • Video Interoperability on the Web Gets a Boost From Cisco’s H.264 Codec: "Cisco has announced today that they are going to release a gratis, high quality, open source H.264 implementation — along with gratis binary modules compiled from that source and hosted by Cisco for download. This move enables any open source project to incorporate Cisco’s H.264 module without paying MPEG LA license fees."
  • EFF article: Lowering Your Standards: DRM and the Future of the W3C:  "By approving this idea, the W3C has ceded control of the "user agent" (the term for a Web browser in W3C parlance) to a third-party, the content distributor. That breaks a—perhaps until now unspoken—assurance about who has the final say in your Web experience, and indeed who has ultimate control over your computing device."
  • "Rodéo mortel: un ami des chauffards témoigne": je n'ai pas accès à un meilleur article du Temps sur ce sujet.
  • Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) – "DLNA uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for media management, discovery and control. UPnP defines the type of device that DLNA supports ("server", "renderer", "controller") and the mechanisms for accessing media over a network. The DLNA guidelines then apply a layer of restrictions over the types of media file format, encodings and resolutions that a device must support."
