“What I’d heard from ex-on2 folks was that there is some philosophical disagreement about how to optimize [encoder] tuning, and the tune for PSNR camp mostly won out.“ Apparently around the time of VP6, On2 went the full-retard route and optimized purely for PSNR, completely ignoring visual considerations. This explains quite well why VP7 looked so blurry and ugly." -- http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=292

Oh I see, but does this "prevent" AT&T voicemail from being stored on the iPhone? (Which is what was said)...

I mean you could use both the Google Voice Voicemail and the AT&T voicemail, right?

Re:Apple Answers the FCC’s Questions on Friday August 21, 2009 @05:49PM (#778556)
"The Google Voice application replaces Apple’s Visual Voicemail by routing calls through a separate Google Voice telephone number that stores any voicemail, preventing voicemail from being stored on the iPhone, i.e., disabling Apple’s Visual Voicemail."

How does a 3rd party app prevent voicemail from being stored on the iPhone? I don't understand.

Ruby style blocks would have made the with_statement (and a bunch of other stuff) obsolete. In fact most stuff can be implemented from blocks (like decorators and generators) and not the other way around.
