---- Google Pushes WebP Image Format Over JPEG and PNG to Save Bandwidth and Improve Speed

I'm not so sure that I really want Google cling-ons attached to my browser .. I mean .. Google stuff is fine for others, but so far I've managed to keep my systems fairly Google free ..

If Google is tired of paying for the bandwidth, or paying their electric bill, or are quite possibly getting tired of building more server farms, then that's not really my problem ..

I'll render and keep my graphics and images the way they are .. I'll let Google go thru the time and the expense to render whatever graphics and images they feel they have to ..

heh .. I'm sort of reminded of Yahoo's RTML language .. in that, no one but Yahoo uses it.

I'm seeing Google's WebP image format in much the same way as that ..

Cheers

as an aside .. @incrediBILL .. I really wish that Macromedia would have never sold out to Adobe ..
