More On Chrome's HTML Video Codec Change
Apparently Google has pissed off more than a handful of people with its decision to kill support for the H.264 video codec. How many people?

Idea 'Theft' Rampant in Mobile Gaming
At first, I thought this article said "ID" theft...who steals IDs in mobile games? Then I realized it was actually "idea" theft. Quick, someone call Leonardo DiCaprio and his team to investigate! It's been a week of bad blood between game developers, and it's all (kind of) because of the iTunes App Store. A controversy of angry Internet community proportions occurred during the last few days between various developers and LimaSky, the company behind the very popular Doodle Jump. Comments
