Perfect Compression Sketchiness
from the it-does-what-now? dept
Okay, more and more experts seem to agree with our initial suggestion that ZeoSync's "perfect compression" idea isn't true. We already pointed out how a number of skeptics with expertise in compression have scoffed at ZeoSync - including a few named in their press release touting the "amazing" breakthrough. Apparently, it's even worse on newsgroups of compression experts who think this is all bunk. Wired has an interview with the CEO of ZeoSync where he's particularly evasive on a number of questions about the technology. If this actually worked, it would be quite a breakthrough - but you would think that "experts" in the field would have a bit more proof before they started releasing fluff filled press releases about their "impossible" accomplishments.
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.
