If you fancy yourself a codec nerd then you'll love a tongue-in-
cheek piece penned by Tim Sneath, Senior Director of Windows and
Web Evangelism at Microsoft. Sneath, posing as the President of
the United States of Google, calls for Esperanto (aka, WebM) to
replace English (aka, H.264) in order to foster global peace and
understanding. Brilliantly played following Google's
announcement to drop H.264 from Chrome. Esperanto, as you might
recall, was the universal second language designed in 1887 to
facilitate international communication. Something that never
quite worked out judging by the preponderance of English spoken
by humans everywhere except Parisian cafes and taxi cabs.
Microsoft mocks Google, likens WebM to failed Esperanto language
