Homes sold faster last month than in any February since 2007 as eager buyers met a tight supply of homes for sale, industry figures show.
Homes were on the market for a median of 98 days last month, down from 123 days in February 2011, according to Realtor.com. That means half the homes listed for sale in February were on the market for less than 98 days and half for more than that.
Even 98 days is long for many markets.
In Oakland, homes spent just 14 days on the market last month before they went under contract or were pulled off for other reasons, Realtor.com data show. In Sacramento - just 21 days.
"Things are flying off the market," says Barbara Hendrickson, of Red Oak Realty in Berkeley, Calif., near Oakland.
While eight of the 10 fastest-moving markets were in California, Denver and Seattle made the top 10, too, with median market times of 28 and 33 days, respectively, Realtor.com says.
Nearly all of the markets with low median market times are also seeing big declines in homes listed for sale.
The average dropoff was 48% from a year earlier in the markets with the greatest declines in supply. Most were in California. That compared with a 16% drop for 146 metropolitan regions for which Realtor.com has listing data.
But some metropolitan areas outside of California are also seeing fast sales, the Realtor.com data show.
In 18 non-California cities, the median number of days on the market was less than 60. Those included Phoenix, Washington, D.C., Detroit, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Dallas, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.
Phoenix has led the home-price recovery, with prices up 23% in December vs. a year earlier, according to the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller index.
The Phoenix market has been helped by strong investor demand for homes. Atlanta is now seeing a surge of investors, too, as is Orlando, local Realtors say.
With such fast-moving markets, buyers and sellers are less likely to see price reductions on properties and more multiple offers, says Curt Beardsley, vice president with Move, which operates Realtor.com.
In Oakland, for instance, two out of three single-family homes that sold in February drew multiple offers, says Aman Daro, marketing director for Red Oak Realty.
Buyers are also more likely to waive home-inspection contingencies to better compete for homes, says Gerhard Ade, Seattle-area real estate broker with RSVP Real Estate.
He recently had a listing priced at $225,000. It got 12 offers and sold for $235,000 to a buyer who waived the home inspection and paid cash.
Cash buyers accounted for 28% of existing-home buyers in January, the National Association of Realtors says.
Cash buyers are often investors. Their presence in a market can be especially tough for first-time buyers, who usually need a loan to buy. Sellers typically prefer cash offers.
â??Nationwide, the inventory of homes for sale fell in January to a 4.2-month supply, almost an eight-year low, the National Association of Realtors says. Its data show all homes were on the market in January for a median 71 days, down from 99 days a year earlier.

Most of our customers have heard about the incredible benefits of fresh, high quality, home-brewed compost tea, but not everyone knows how easy and inexpensive a process it can actually be. Aerobic Compost Tea is brewed to extract and multiply populations of beneficial micro-organisms including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. The compost supplies the microbes while the catalyst and amendments promotes their population growth. When sprayed on the leaf surface, some beneficial microbes can out compete or directly interfere with pathogenic organisms. As a soil soak the microbes will colonize plant debris and promote nutrient recycling.

Rangers ask Yu to keep A's at arm's length
Oakland looks to move back into first-place tie behind Parker
The tug of war atop the American League West will continue on Wednesday afternoon, when the Athletics and Rangers conclude a three-game series at O.Co Coliseum.
Oakland won the opener to pull into a first-place tie for the first time since Aug. 9, but Texas responded with a 5-1 win on Tuesday night to sit alone on top. The clubs have traded places throughout the season and appear headed for another photo finish.
"Unless you're in first place at the end of the season, right now it's just kind of conversation," A's manager Bob Melvin said before Tuesday's game. "It's nice to be playing well. We've played well over the last 10 days or so, and I think that's the most important thing for me.
"Whenever you're playing the team that you're closest to in the division, it seems to take on a little bit more intensity. But whether you're a game ahead, a game behind, two behind, two ahead -- I think the most important thing is to be ahead on the last day of the season."
Oakland's four-game winning streak was snapped Tuesday, but the club has still won seven of its past nine games.
The rubber game of the series will feature a pair of right-handers in the A's Jarrod Parker and the Rangers' Yu Darvish.
Parker (10-6, 3.59 ERA) comes in with an unbeaten streak that is tied with Hall of Famer Catfish Hunter for the longest in franchise history among starters, although the A's have lost six of those contests. Parker is 8-0 with a 2.57 ERA over that span but took a no-decision his last time out, despite limiting the Rays to three runs on six hits over seven innings.
Darvish (12-6, 2.73) is running away with the Major League lead in both strikeouts (236) and strikeouts per nine innings (12.2). His 11 K's on Friday against the Twins gave him the second-highest single-season total in club history, behind only Nolan Ryan's 301 in 1989. He also set a club record with 64 strikeouts in August, the most prolific month by any big league pitcher since Randy Johnson piled up 70 for the D-backs in August 2002.
Despite all the whiffs, Darvish has gone winless over his past three starts, none of which has seen him allow more than three runs. The latest disappointment came against Minnesota, with Darvish taking a no-hitter into the seventh before giving up a pair of homers and exiting after 6 2/3.
Now he'll take on the A's for the third time this season and the first time in Oakland.
"I take the same approach no matter who I throw against and where I throw," Darvish said. "I'm so glad we are winning and we're in first place, but my job doesn't change. I try to win and help my team as much as possible.
Rangers: Andrus still recovering
Shortstop Elvis Andrus missed his third consecutive game with a tight lower back on Tuesday, and manager Ron Washington doesn't plan to use him at designated hitter to get him back in the lineup sooner.
"We've got guys who can DH. I want Elvis total. I want Elvis on the field," Washington said.
Andrus can swing a bat and run but he feels the tightness when he bends over.
• Center fielder Leonys Martin was out the starting lineup on Tuesday after striking out four times as part of a 1-for-5 game on Monday. Washington said Martin will continue to bat leadoff despite hitting .175 over his past 14 games.
Athletics: Moss takes POTW honors
Brandon Moss was named the American League Player of the Week for the second time in his career after hitting .364 with four home runs, 11 RBIs and six walks last week.
Moss, who struck out as a pinch-hitter on Tuesday, led all Major League hitters in homers, RBIs, slugging percentage (.955) and total bases (21) to help the A's go 6-1. He matched career highs with four hits and two homers on Wednesday against the Tigers, setting a personal best with six RBIs.
• Coco Crisp started for the A's on Tuesday but was relegated to designated hitter a day after he fouled a ball off his right shin and suffered a contusion. Crisp said he was "fine" before the game, while Melvin said the outfielder was "a little bit sore." Chris Young played center field in Crisp's place, while Michael Choice was in the lineup in right. Crisp went 1-for-5 with a double.
Worth noting
• The A's still lead the Rays by 2 1/2 games for the top AL Wild Card spot.
• The Rangers hold a 9-6 lead in the season series, which will conclude with three games at Rangers Ballpark from Sept. 13-15.
• Darvish is 0-2 with a 3.75 ERA in two starts against the A's this season. His only career outing at Oakland came last June 7, when he gave up six runs over 5 1/3 innings.
• Parker is 5-1 with a 2.94 ERA against the Rangers in six career starts. The Rangers are hitting .194 off him. That's the fourth-lowest batting average for them against any pitcher with at least five starts against them in club history.

Someone who checks out other men in the locker room while they are changing. "Knob" refers to a mans "rod" or "johnson", and "hawk" refers to the wandering eyes of the suspected knob watcher.
After third hour, little Billy sat and watched the other male students in his area change. Then one of the other boys noticed that Billy's eyes were wandering, so he started shouting "KNOB HAWK, WE GOT A KNOB HAWK, GET THE ROPE, GET THE ROPE!" And then little Billy was strung up and beaten like a toy pinata.

I got a window seat on the shuttle back and watched the familiar buildings pass by. Canadian Embassy. Senate office buildings. Union Station. Government Printing Office - I especially love that one. A mental wave to the lovely husband's office building. I pulled out my phone and sent an encouraging note to my bloggy friend Lenae, who is moving to DC soon, and I can't link you to her because her blog just went private because of the cool secret government mission that's bringing her family into and out of the area, and isn't that such a DC thing to say, and have I told you lately how much I love it here?
I was back at my own office building just in time to attend a retirement party. The honoree was the woman who hired me to work for the government, a quiet and tenacious woman whose influence was far-reaching, as evidenced by the prestigious speakers from various government agencies who spoke of her reach and her influence. I owe my career to her, though hundreds of people say that. She's retiring after 42 years of government service and when speaker after speaker tossed out "national security" and "national intelligence" I remember again how much I love this DC world, my DC life, this career I never expected to be mine. The head of our agency said "you enact the words of the President" and twice representatives of other agencies said "your nation thanks you for your service" and I remember just what she set me up to do, just what I've learned and that what I think of as everyday responsibility is unique and fascinating and significant.
How hard it must be, after immersing in this world for 42 years, to think: this is my life's work. And it is finished.

Early usage of the term pomo dates from 1991 when Pomo Afro Homo, an African American gay theatrical collective, premiered "Fierce Love" at Josie's in San Francisco's Castro district. "Pomo" is short for post-modern, plus "Afro" plus "Homo" was about as avant guard as you could get in those dark days. "Fierce Love" was a seminal play during the height of the AIDS epidemic and it dramatised a number of issues about masculinity and sexuality that were very difficult in the community at the time. Important derivation.

Starting at the Beginning
from R.C. Sproul Aug 01, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
The word philosophy derives from a combination of two Greek words: phileo ("to love") and sophia ("wisdom"). Literally, philosophy means "love of wisdom." The ancient Greeks, who are usually credited with developing the science of philosophy, were also concerned with abstract metaphysics and epistemology. However, the question of ethics was of paramount importance to Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Socrates sought to reduce virtue or ethics to "right knowledge." Plato sought the ultimate standard of the good. Keep Reading -

Embracing the Truth

Openness to truth where truth may be found is a long-standing virtue that worked on the assumption that there is such a thing as objective truth, to which we should be open. Students of higher education now taught one overarching virtue: to be "open." The purpose of their education is not to make them scholars but to provide them with a moral virtue—an openness, a relativism that eschews any form of fixed objective values or truth. Its simplistic creed is that there are no absolutes. Keep Reading -

Hellickson aims to relieve Rays' bats vs. Blue Jays
Tampa Bay starter faces Toronto hoping to take advantage of support
Jeremy Hellickson has come away from his last two starts more frustrated than ever.
While the Rays right-hander received 20 runs of support in his last two outings, Hellickson surrendered 14 earned runs in those games combined for one win.
Allowing eight runs on 10 hits in 7 2/3 innings of work Friday against the Orioles, Hellickson was helped by the Rays' offense in a 12-10 win, his second victory this year.
His performance marked the most earned runs allowed by a winning pitcher since Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte on Sept. 29, 2007.
"The guys are getting so many runs; all I want to do is help this team win, and it feels like I'm doing the complete opposite," Hellickson said. "Especially late in the game, when I want to be out there. I'm just putting myself in some tough situations there the last few games. I just have to get better with runners on and eliminating those innings that have been happening."
He will try to do just that Wednesday as the Rays and Blue Jays square off in Toronto.
Mark Buehrle will be on the hill for the Blue Jays, looking for his first win since April 15, a span of six starts.
While the left-hander most recently allowed five runs on six hits in six innings of work for a loss against the Yankees, his line does not tell the whole story.
He cruised through six innings, allowing only two runs in what would have been a quality start. However, a rough seventh changed that. He allowed doubles to David Adams and Austin Romine in an inning that also included a bunt single by Ichiro Suzuki.
"I didn't feel as good as last game but still making some pitches," Buehrle said after the game. "Just that last inning, first-pitch double and then a good bunt, and I tried to battle, tried to get out of that inning, but unfortunately I couldn't."
Rays: Joyce leaves game with hamstring tightness
• Matt Joyce left Tuesday night's game with the Blue Jays because of right hamstring tightness. The Rays said the move was precautionary.
Joyce started in right field and left the game after playing the field in the sixth. Ryan Roberts took Joyce's spot in the order and took over at second base. Ben Zobrist moved from second base to right field.
• Roberto Hernandez, the former Rays relief pitcher, will represent Tampa Bay at the 2013 First-Year Player Draft.
Blue Jays: McGriff to represent Blue Jays at Draft
• Toronto will be represented at the coming First-Year Player Draft by former first baseman Fred McGriff.
McGriff spent parts of five seasons in Toronto from 1986-90, during which time he hit .278 with 125 homers and 305 RBIs. McGriff rejoined the Blue Jays organization earlier this year as a special assistant to president Paul Beeston.
He will announce Toronto's selections at the Draft while being joined by Blue Jays Vice President of Communications Jay Stenhouse.
• Right-hander Josh Johnson is expected to need two more rehab starts before he can return to the Blue Jays' starting rotation. Johnson made his first rehab start for Class-A Dunedin on Monday and struck out five over three innings of work.
Worth noting
• Hellickson is 2-1 with a 3.70 ERA in four career starts at the Rogers Centre.
• The Blue Jays have outscored the opposition, 41-20, in their last five home games.

Angels' late rally in Oakland comes up short
Williams struggles after Trout's homer provides early lead
OAKLAND -- If this were the olden days and rotations required only two starting pitchers, the Angels would be fine right now. Jered Weaver would go one day, C.J. Wilson would go the next, and the cycle would constantly repeat itself. The fact that they can't, and with Jason Vargas out for nearly a month, are the biggest reasons the Angels haven't been able to go on a Dodgers-like run to save their season.
When Weaver, Wilson and Vargas take the mound this season, the Angels are 28-20 (a .583 winning percentage).
With everybody else -- be it Tommy Hanson or Joe Blanton or Garrett Richards or the most recent losing pitcher, Jerome Williams -- the Angels are 20-33 (a .364 winning percentage).
"You need five guys," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said late Friday night, after a 6-4 loss to the A's at O.co Coliseum that returned his club to five games below .500 and 11 games out of first place.
"It's tough to build momentum without the starting five doing what they can do. We need these guys. We need these guys to come out and give us a chance to win when they take the ball. At times it's been a little spotty, but we have to keep going."
Since the start of July, Angels starters not named Weaver or Wilson -- or Vargas, who has missed his last five turns while recovering from surgery to remove a blood clot -- have combined to post an 8.52 ERA, giving up 44 runs in 41 2/3 innings and prompting the Angels to go 2-8.
Williams has been right in the middle of that, going winless since June 12 and posting an 8.37 ERA in his last eight outings.
"It's been tough," Williams said. "But all I can do is look at the positives, not the negatives."
The positive for Williams was that he rebounded in the second meeting of a four-game series, bouncing back after a rough first two innings to give the Angels (48-53) a chance. Had Michael Kohn not given up a two-run, sixth-inning homer to fill-in catcher Stephen Vogt in the sixth, and had the Angels not gone 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position -- particularly Josh Hamilton, who ended the game with a strikeout against Grant Balfour while representing the tying run -- perhaps they win for a second straight time against the first-place A's.
But, as Scioscia said, "We couldn't overcome Jerome not being able to get out of the second inning."
He was one out away, with a 2-1 lead thanks to Mike Trout's first-inning two-run homer off Bartolo Colon, but Williams gave up three straight hits, including an RBI single to Eric Sogard and a two-run single to Jed Lowrie, who hit a solo homer in the first.
"I just didn't execute a couple pitches and that hurt," Williams said. "I just have to minimize the mistakes and look at the positives."
Those minimal mistakes were plenty for Colon, who shut the Angels out from the second to the sixth -- five days after throwing a four-hit shutout at Angel Stadium -- and ultimately moved to 14-3 with a 2.54 ERA in yet another age-defying season.
Colon now has a 1.75 ERA in nine starts against the Angels since 2009.
"I'd be lying if I said I thought he'd be 14-3 right now," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "I probably couldn't say that about anybody. With starters sometimes, the win-loss record sometimes isn't really indicative of how good he is, but to be able to be 14-3 and give us as many quality starts and shutouts, I have a ton of confidence in him."

Easter Bay International Airport
this wiki
Easter Bay International Airport | |
Airport summary | |
Airport type | Public |
Location | San Fierro, San Andreas |
Airline(s) | Juank Air |
Runway(s) | 1 |
Current condition | Active |
Easter Bay International Airport is based on real-life San Francisco International Airport (SFO). It is located in San Fierro, San Andreas, and is the largest airport in the state. It is situated at the southeastern corner of the city, just east of Foster Valley and a major freeway, and just south of Easter Basin. From here, the player can purchase Juank Air flights to and from Los Santos International Airport and Las Venturas Airport, but no flights actually take off or land without the player instigating it. As befits a busy airport, there are numerous aircraft parked in various locations, and Baggage carts trundling about.
There are three main points of ground vehicle entry to the airport - the first is through the underground parking lot which terminates behind the control tower where the helicopters are; the others are through two direct freight ramps in the center of the airport, one leading to the runway, the other to the hangars. One note: the gates governing these points of entry are only accessible once the player has passed Flying School and is considered a pilot. However, the player can simply jump over the security cabin or park a car and jump from the car roof to the fence or by making a ramp with a Packer and drive over the fence. Through ingenuity, the player can access the tarmac, but all aircraft are locked until pilot status is achieved, with the exception of the Maverick in the area near the hangars.
This airport, as aforementioned, is modeled after San Francisco International Airport, which is located several miles south of the city. The main landing strip of Easter Bay Airport (pictured) extends out into Easter Bay, a distinguishing feature of San Francisco International Airport, whose main tarmac extends into San Francisco Bay. The airport is situated on an artificial island connected to the mainland by a small land bridge that provides the only road access.
[show]Events in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The airport plays a role in two missions. In the mission Mike Toreno, Carl and T-Bone Mendez track Mike Toreno in a yay van in the airport. Carl destroys it, and heads back to the pleasure domes in Battery Point. In the mission Ran Fa Li, Carl picks up a package from a Manana inside the parking lot of the airport, and has to take it back to a garage in Esplanade North, all while constantly being confronted by the Da Nang Boys, fierce rivals of the San Fierro Triads.
Airlines and Destinations
Airlines | Destinations | Terminals |
FlyUS | Las Venturas, Liberty City-Francis, Los Santos International Airport, Vice City-Escobar | Domestic |
- In the beta version the landing area was smaller.
- No aircraft ever take off or land at the airport, despite the fact that many different planes can be seen flying over various parts of San Andreas.
- There is an alternative way of getting inside the airport if you aren't a pilot, even though there are many more possibilities. This way can be done by going to a ridge that is located in Red County to the left of Easter Bay Chemicals. The ridge is extremely close to the airport so using almost any car, one can drive the car off the ridge and land in the airport. The location where you are presumably supposed to land is next to a parked Maverick helicopter.
- There is another ramp that can give access to the airport if you are not a pilot, though this way you will need a fast vehicle or a fast motorcycle. The ramp is located to the right of the bridge that connects Red County and The Panopticon, east of Easter Bay Chemicals.
- The aircraft on the billboard appears to be based on a North American B-25 Mitchell bomber.
- There are signs on the surrounding fences warning that they are electrified. However, Carl will not be electrocuted if he touches them.
- Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher - Between the large cylindrical storage tanks just south of the northeastern-most hangars
Stationary Vehicles
- Maverick - To the immediate northeast of the southern-most hangars
- Leviathan - To the immediate north of the eastern-most hangars; to the southeast of the control tower
- Raindance - Adjacent to the Leviathan - immediately southeast of the control tower
- Dodo (2) - One in each of the pair of hangars on the south side of the airport, closest to the terminal
- Rustler - Inside the easternmost of the pair of hangars on the south side of the airport, closest to the terminal
- Nevada (2) - One is directly east of the south end of the terminal; north of the Maverick, the other is located to the west of the Leviathan. The former is sometimes colored blue.
- Shamal (3) - Two immediately adjacent to the south end of the terminal. One outside the southernmost of the pair of hangars at the northeast end of the airport
- Beagle - Northwest end of the airport, at the end of the main landing strip
- Super GT - Parked next to the control tower at the north end of the airport, near the entrance ramp from the underground parking. This vehicle is almost always locked.
- Blista Compact (only when wanted for export) - Parked next to the small building at the extreme southwestern corner of the airport
- NRG-500 - Between the two eastern-most hangars among the group of buildings at the very south end of the airport. It spawns only (but not always, about 90%) when the player is nearby at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 or 18:00.
- Utility Van (3) - All three parked on the east side of the terminal
- Baggage (3) - Two parked on the east side of the terminal. One parked near the Maverick and NRG-500 at the southeastern corner of the airport
- Coastguard (10) - One moored at each of the wooden slips situated around the exterior of the airport
- Body Armor
- Camera - In the grass at the southwestern corner of the street intersection closest to the airport
- Three snapshots
- Two Unique stunt jumps
- The gate contains a glitch in that if you punch the access gate and turn away, the gate will open, allowing the player to drive a vehicle onto the tarmac, and access the unique stunt jumps, rocket launcher, etc. (but the aircraft remain locked).

CANTON After the collapse of the fire-damaged steeple of St. Lawrence Universitys Gunnison Memorial Chapel, the college has begun to secure the site, cope with the destruction and plan the rebuilding of the Canton landmark.
The steeples collapse came just over 24 hours after Sunday mornings fire, which investigators said was caused by an electrical malfunction.
A wedding scheduled for this weekend has been relocated to a church in Potsdam, just one of many events that will have to find a new location after the blaze. The chapel has been fenced off to prevent danger to any onlookers, and officials are still waiting to see just how bad the damage is to the 87-year-old building.
The steeples collapse was predicted by engineers and architects from Beardsley Design Associates, Auburn, who were on the campus to help assess and mitigate the damage caused by Sunday mornings fire. The steeple fell without incident, and there were no injuries.
The college planned to get a crane Monday to remove the rest of the steeple, but high winds delayed those efforts.
The fire started about 5 a.m. Sunday, during the colleges Family Weekend. Fire investigators believe it was caused by an electrical mishap.
We have basically ruled out all other possibilities at this time, St. Lawrence County Fire Investigator W. Joseph Lacks said.
According to Mr. Lacks, the fire started in the bell tower and was quickly swept up by air currents toward the steeple.
The fire path basically got sucked right up into the bell tower, he said.
Investigators also looked into whether fireworks launched nearby Saturday night could have started the blaze, but determined that the celebration played no part in Sunday mornings fire. They are expected to finish their report soon.
Meanwhile, college officials continue to plan how to proceed after Sundays destruction.
Right now were trying to keep the area safe, and were trying to get the steeple off the top of the building and clean up the inside of the chapel itself, college spokesman Ryan P. Deuel said. We still have some cleanup to do before we know exactly what kind of repair work were looking at.
The inside of the chapel suffered water damage after the blaze.
College facilities personnel will attempt to use a bucket lift Monday to remove the remainder of the debris, rather than using a crane.
Once the damaged portion has been removed, workers will construct a temporary roof to prevent further damage to the inside of the chapel.
When the immediate risks are removed, the college will start to look toward reconstruction.
Our goal is to restore the building to its original state, Mr. Deuel said.
First the school will have to cut through plenty of red tape. A building inspector will have to look at the extent of the damage, as will an agent from Travelers Insurance.
Its going to be a top priority for the campus, Mr. Deuel said.
Events and services will be relocated until the damage is repaired. The chapels bells were mostly undamaged, but with no tower in which to ring them, the college will use an electronic recording to keep up with tradition.
The chapel first opened in 1926.

The citrate ion is widely distributed in plants and animals and is a naturally occurring component of the diet. It is a common metabolite in oxidative metabolism and an important component of bone. Exogenous citrate administered to infants and adults as a component of commonly consumed diets is considered completely metabolizable. The addition of citric acid to foods is considered equivalent to adding citrate salts except in foods of very high acidity. The amount of citrate added to foods by foods processors is about 500mg per person per day. This amount occurs naturally in 2 ounces of orange juice and does not constitute a significant addition to the total body load. Although data on acute and chronic effects of orally administered sodium citrate, calcium citrate and potassium citrate are limited, no biological effects of the citrate-containing substances evaluated in this report cause concern about the safety of these GRAS substances used in reasonable amounts and in accordance with prescribed tolerances and limitations.
In light of the foregoing, the Select Committee concludes that: There is no evidence in the available information on citric acid, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, calcium citrate, ammonium citrate, isopropyl citrate, stearyl citrate, and triethyl citrate that demonstrates, or suggests reasonable grounds to suspect, a hazard to the public when used at levels that are now current or that might reasonably be expected in the future.

Haha, I like this tricks. But for the 23rd tip, instead of the site you listed, I would recommend you link to http://apps.facebook.com/upside_down_text/

As Michael would put it "Version 28 of Firefox will shape up to be a very nice release." I'm really looking forward. Most likely will hit around mid February.
Phoronix: Mozilla Firefox Enables VP9 Video Codec By Default
As of yesterday there's now mainline support for using Google's VP9 video codec within the Firefox web-browser...
As Michael would put it "Version 28 of Firefox will shape up to be a very nice release." I'm really looking forward. Most likely will hit around mid February.
Nobody uses VP9 and no one cares. Mozilla removed the MNG decoder, which has the actual benefit to offer what GIF does but better (>256 colors, alpha channel), because 200kB or so were too big.
Well, I just read these news here and searched more about VP9. What wikipedia says:
"Although Google has irrevocably released all of its patents on VP8 as a royalty-free format, the MPEG LA, licensors of the H.264 patent pool, have expressed interest in creating a patent pool for VP8. Conversely, other researchers cite evidence that On2 made a particular effort to avoid any MPEG LA patents. As a result of the threat, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) started an investigation in March 2011 into the MPEG LA for its role in possibly attempting to stifle competition. In March 2013, MPEG LA announced that it had reached an agreement with Google to license patents that "may be essential" for the implementation of the VP8 codec, and give Google the right to sub-license these patents to any third-party user of VP8 or VP9."
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebM
Question: is VP9 'free' with 'some parts patented' or not? Is this good for firefox? If it's not there's no advantage for firefox change H.264 for VP9, I think...
VP8/9 are free, probably google paid an amount of money to mpeg-la to compensate for eventual patents originally needed by them (but nobody know since the agreement was kept secret, someone also speculated that h.264 infringed vp8 patents). There is no evidence VP8/9 infringe other patents (at least for now), so it is free for Firefox and everyone else.
The problem still is that nobody uses them on the web. Neither are popular in HW decoding chips.
The biggest player on the web - YouTube - is starting to use it: http://www.youtube.com/html5 . Chrome already support it.
No surprise anyway it still not widely used, since the format was finalized only few months ago, there is no stable release library (1.2 has a slow and buggy implementation, 1.3 with full support should be released soon) and software is starting to support it now.
Youtube uses h264 in most if not all cases. In my gstreamer enabled FF it uses that. With no gstreamer enabled it used webm for the videos that played (there were some that didn't). And don't even get me started on what happens with monetized videos.
In other words Google doesn't give a fuck at the moment. Neither HW manufacturers. Ie are these codecs HW accelerated in your new AMD/nVidia card.
