The, ahem, info on compression is just over half of the way down.
Probably best enjoyed very very stoned.
Enjoy,

No, which means I won't be making fun of the guy any time soon (if you
read the very bottom it gets quite disturbing; he is clearly
schizophrenic with paranoid delusions). People with patents or
investors, however are fair game :-D
In fact, I was just reading the other day about how Adam's Platform was
finally caught: They removed the codec from the machine and the video
still played -- turned out the video was On's VP3. Of course, the fact
that he told people he created his invention in ResEdit should have
been a tip-off to *somebody!!* (For the uninformed: ResEdit is a Mac
resource editor that has nothing at all to do with editing or compiling
source code) I first heard of Adam and his scam back in 1997 -- it
simply amazes me he was able to string people along for 7 years.
You know, Adam's *real* invention -- the one actually worth investing
in -- was the process he devised to fool The Tolly Group and their
testing. Either he's quite clever at deception (although that's hard
to believe with the ResEdit comment), or the Tolly Group is a bunch of
poser idiots.
