Google and the VP8 webm codec

So Google bought the On2 VP8 codec for $124.6 million, then open sourced it (hopefully avoiding patent issues), hoping the up-take would make it the de facto codec online. Opera and Mozilla have been quick to support it, IE 9 says it will with a plug-in (err?) but no word from Apple just yet.

Told you OGG was shit.
