According to the report on Ars Technica, Mozilla is not only [...]
While many of us wait on the sidelines, for a clear victor in the format wars, Home Media Research is there to bring a clear and unambiguous light shining on the situation.

Back in January, at the Consumer Electronics Show, AMD allowed a peek at a new standard it would be bringing out soon. Well, other irons have been in the fire, and so the DTX form factor was put off by a few months.

Over at ZDNet, Dana Blankenhorn and Paula Rooney have a go at explaining why Comcast doesn’t like BitTorrent one iota, and why most other providers also either try to limit it, or simply tolerate it, with thoughts of how they can remove it, dancing in their greedy little heads.
