Skeptics Doubt Compression Claims
from the we're-not-crazy dept
Yesterday we were a bit skeptical about some of the claims of a company who said they had created an amazing new compression method. It seems we weren't the only ones. Today a number of people have come forward to say that they don't believe the claims of ZeoSync and these are people who are a hell of a lot more qualified to understand such things than I am. What's really amusing is that a number of the scientists that ZeoSync names as having worked on the project say in the article that they barely have done any work (an hour or so) on the project and have not seen it in action. One has even requested that ZeoSync remove his name from any materials about this. Not exactly the type of support ZeoSync was probably expecting.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
